the cruel of November

Yesterday's storm rings remorse
in its puddles, morning is echoed
in the biting reflection, with leaves
that play dead neath the feet
of the mother tree

but soon they take off
like an alley cat roaming
over oceans and mountain tops -
places were hearts of the desperate
hang to a flutter, when sparked by the piper
who offers an afterlife

yet when given 'that moment'
we thought of as golden, how fast you went rogue
like a sun pulling back at the point of conception
leaving the viewer
flipping on switches
that offer no sonnets, no rhymes nor a reason
to the who, what and why of you

O the heart dives so foolishly
plunging deep in the waters
towards one false with flowers, the one
that drew empty, save his blue eyed deception

so she watches the loose leaves
renegard warriors, for some semblance
of meaning and a colorful antidote
for the sting of her 'magic man'

Ahhh . . . "the sting of her magic man." Yeah, magic like a magician weaving a spell which was false from beginning to end.

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

EmmaRose, you have swirled the colours of your pain, anguish and two-way anger into a wide-sky word-painting that compels readers to immerse themselves in it.

You deserve the best. I wish that for you.
