Sleepless.
In the middle of the night I am awake
until the night fades into another day,
another sunrise.
...
Persepone's Goodbye
Falling leaves dance
as the wind commands.
Autumn, oh Autumn!
Bold colours!
Defiance!
Leaves strew in cold ground.
Fiery skies-
Sun glows a fierce orange
in crisp morning.
Shared laughter
basking in sunlight-
bliss of nearness.
Midday blooms
and fades...
Somber repose, the day wanes.
Mellowed wine
sweet as Hades' kiss-
the chilly evening air!
Lazy haze,
hazy laze-
the harvest ends in quiet.
The moon watches over
in silence-
I watch her too from my window.
Naked trees, gnarled hands...
a mother laments!
the wind begins to howl.
