Ode to the Autumn Rode
Rolling hills
Petaled with golden embers
Surrendered to the asphalt
Marmalade light
Whispered through
The clouded panes of
Oak shingled homes
And the bark was
Cloaked in mist
Like the breath
Of a ghost
As pearl white
As the looming sky
That hung above my head
When dusk grew sullen
The earth became still
And the Autumn crow
Took it's final flight
Observations:
Part I
Tiny fires hung from
The cold ceiling of night
Blueberry light trickled through
Black pine clothed in crystal
The mighty light of the copper bulb
Flooded through oak and thorn
Like a slow river
Yellow meadows peppered in shadows
Of wicked branches and fluttering birds
Willows foamed like refinery clouds
Or the banks of the black rivers
Plane lights blink through the distance
And I remember how it felt
When you were still here
Apparitions: Part I
Light bulbs kindled
Their honey rays
On cherry veneer
I watch as our shadows
Awaken from slumber
As dawn cascades
Into an icicle glow
Like the solemn light
Of a vintage projector
Needle and wax
Leak through the cracks
Soft words of
Leonard Cohen
Whisper through the halls
Lost at Sea
Her Atlantic eyes were
Teeming with neon
Her skin was
Cloaked in the city's glow
Her frame swelled like
Churning waves
And with every tide
She drew me deeper
Into her currents
Boston
In the cement veins of the city
Bullet trains bellow
Among the bluster
I wondered
How can such loud places have
Such quiet faces?
Illuminated in holy light
Of phosphorescence
How their eyes must yearn
For the sun
How their hearts must ache
For warmth
But shadows follow us all
Deeply into
Cold November nights
Bio-luminescent Love
Deep into the dark winter night
Cold seeps into my bones
The embers of my heart
Ache in scarlet when
I remember the vastness
Of her oaken eyes
And how it makes me feel
Like I'm cascading
Into the trench of my soul
The gravity of her beauty
Pulls me slowly
Into her currents
And a dozen stars hang
Over my head in
Bioluminescence
And I'm thankful for darkness
Gravity
I have never looked at anything
The way I look at her
She's sapphire glass
Of the Boston Aquarium
Teeming with life, spiraling
She's the rays of dusk
Embering on the pearl snow
Under a ceiling peppered in satellites
Every day I'm taken
Deeper into her gravity
