Resolved
       Requisite turnings leave fall
To float on puddles with red and gold
                     Burnished hymns of light
       Sung on rippled chords of change
                          So be it so
                                              Again


“I’ll never be the same, after I close my eyes.”


The ripple of waves still sounds rhythms on stone
Leaving the ears alone to know
Heartbeats can be more than one
When engaging revolutions spin the wind
And bring thoughts of you
To another verge of season

Soon,
Hoar frost will take the remaining green
And twist it in a cold vise leaving
Burned brown stem alone
To sway

The hearth will hold coals
And my heart will hold
To summer
         To warm
                  To you

For now,
       I’ll place my thoughts,
Delicate words written on leaf,
Un-guilded cold
                      Of believing in Grace

Each and every stanza
could stand alone as a poem
in their own write...

But you created a necklace
and it drapes the neck
of a reader
with grace, and charm.

I'll be back when I can utter more than moth stutterings...............

know what you're listening to ... is me missing you."

that verse is just so very impressive...
its imagery is stunning..its vocab, personifications and analogies are brilliant and its subtle mix of longing and anticipation create the poems intend and pull the reader in with poetic perfection.

that is beyond exquisite...like I said above the whole analogy is poetic brillance.

I feel the same way often after reading your poetry.


Fall is making for an amazing muse for you poet sir.

"If you see lonely, clear skies turning stormy ...
Lightning strikes and all you see is blue ... this is me missing you"

tis all the beauty of the world......I love to see those leaves falling....moving...


Lauren~

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you

Hoar frost will take the remaining green
And twist it in a cold vise leaving
Burned brown stem alone
To sway

When I grow up, I want to be like you.
but female of course. I can only imagine the way you see things, and i love reading the way you do.

Above all, I think I like the undercurrent of subjective allusion and intent inherent throughout this write -- there's much deeper meaning behind this poem than the reader will ever know...
