Sat under a tree
Wondering when you’ll join me
Autumn is knocking
Tag Archives: Love
Waiting
Celebratory flock
White Egrets dance
Vividly
Among dawn’s birth
Shadows reflecting
A pulse
Simple beat
My fledgling heart
Each emotion
Owned
Clung to
Waiting
Perfection
Today’s gift,
Appeared differently,
Unlike what you wished for,
But somehow, perfect.
Your Attendee
Walk with me here,
Allow the earth,
To calmly soothe,
You address,
And I’ll attend.
Like a breeze,
Sliding through,
Inestimable prairie,
I’ll surround you,
My Love.
Daily storm brewing,
Commanding attention,
You be the strength,
I’ll be me, listening.
Underneath Autumn
Leaves of summer time,
Swaying, as they change,
Russett crinckles lightly,
Verdant linger and hang.
Azure setting, awesome,
Middle of the night,
Discovering peaceful rest,
Surrendering under autumn.
Autumn Springs – Final Verse
Autumn Springs from Summer’s Flame,
Eternal Passage of Season’s Change,
Dance of Passion’s Lingering Game,
Viridian for Copper, Elemental Exchange.
Primordial instincts embrace epic hues,
Fantasy’s Utopia, view Wisps becoming Brides,
Delphian Fairwell Fairies mimic and muse,
Rousing Shadows and Lovers, crimsons collide.
Pageant of Nighttide, Shimmering Bright,
Secrets Whispered in Primeval Tones,
Gathering Luminous, Spectral Light,
Ethereal Queen Born from muttering crone.
Dauntless Coppice, pursuing nature’s virgin Sprite,
Baptized, Nocturnal King of Twilight’s Beasts,
Queen Dowager awaits Autumn’s marital rites,
Mystic humming, via Motley winds due East.
Dance upon the Darling Midnight,
Twirl amidst the Foliage Aflame,
King and Queen Bedecked in Mirth’s Light,
Escaping Summer’s Clasp, Ne’er to be the Same.
Brilliance sparkling over Celestial skies
Approval granted, Russet Harvest’s grace
Verdict trumpeted, Change of Seasons, shall advise
Regal first kiss, as accompanying Timbers embrace
Spectrum’s Flame of Autumnal Dawn,
Seasons Shift, like Willows Bend,
Dancing Tatiana and Bold Oberon,
In Sweetest Union without End.
Fate’s Tale whirls on Heliotrope dreams,
Epic dance, adorning Violaceous Wings,
Crisp winds commence, Folklore sings,
Fantasy lives within Autumn Springs.

This is the final verse, inspired by Morgan’s seventh verse in a week long Autumn, Halloween, seasonal change, Mystical, light and dark collaboration with Morgan, from http://booknvolume.com/ .
I do hope you enjoyed Autumn Springs, my friends. I was honored when Morgan asked me to consider collaborating with her. Morgan’s extremely talented and it has been my privilege to write with her. I’ve grown as a poet and tried a theme I hadn’t considered previously. A huge thank you to Morgan for her patience, as well, as I tried keeping up with her enormous talent. Another bonus was getting to know a remarkable woman, a little bit better, over the last week.
I hope, if you hadn’t been following Morgan’s work, that you have decided to follow her poetry now. Become lost in her world of fantasy. I know I do. Love and many hugs, dear Morgan. You’re the best! Thanks again for for a fantastic week of writing.

My morning atonement revealed,
An exclusive reflection discovered,
Among the wistful hazel of my eyes.

This is the sixth verse, inspired by Morgan’s fifth verse in a week long Autumn, Halloween, seasonal change, Mystical, light and dark collaboration with Morgan, from http://booknvolume.com/ .
I am thrilled to be writing along side Morgan, as her inspirations capture me daily. One day I find her writing of a fantasy world I can’t even begin to dream of, but would love to visit, and then in the next breath she’s left me a longing mess. I adore her poetry and her heart.
Our verses are off the cuff and inspired by each other, isn’t that lovely?! The image above chosen by Morgan, and I think it is perfect. Please continue to join us this week, as we thrive on working with one another to bring you Autumn Springs.

Cockcrow’s Titian
Alpha radiating across celestial sphere
Exhaling from yesterday’s limitations
Cockcrow’s titian view, illuminated
Flame
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Flames flicker, attacking sensibilities
Dancing around me, yet settling fears
Like staring into your eyes, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Heat surrounding, starting in my chest
Found now below, urging me to let go
Like the touch of your hands, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Glowing ashes, proof of stability
Mesmerized desire, devoted endings
Like your heart admitting love, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here

Summer memories
Happy Birthday, Jellybean
Encouraging heart
A sincere wish for a very happy day. My middle sister celebrates her birthday today. Wishing we could have lunch, as I would ensure she wear the sombrero, and have her picture taken. 😍

Your eyes,
Explore mine.
Lips touch,
First time,
Love tastes,
Like wine.
Hands seek,
Caressing.
Hearts beat,
Confessing.
If I were, Lupita,
And you, Jerry.

I Miss These Brats!
Group chat with my three best friends, also known as my siblings, went well tonight. We even offered hilarious photos of one another. My meeting ran late, but when I returned home they were waiting patiently for me.
My siblings discussed Parenthood while they waited, a television program I used to watch a few years ago, but no longer do. Who has time? I will tell you that I don’t have any time, but they disagree by saying: My priority setting requires a revisit one of these days. Whatever.

Come Away With Me…
Life works well out there,
Beyond the questions,
Past the fears,
Closer to our beliefs,
The real you near.
Free to be me,
Content with we,
Completing one another,
Let’s go sailing.
Fun’s companions,
I hear your laugh.
Kindreds in spirit,
Knowing when you’re mad.
Lovers in soul,
Your body speaks to mine.
Comrades of duty,
This devotion, sublime.
Finally content with forever,
Today’s troubles,
Will be left by the shore.
Pick one, Captain,
I’ll grab the key,
Forget it all,
And come away with me.
Pale Reminder
This morning’s palest breath
Reminds me, dutifully
I was built to stand alone
Strength binding me with control
My own worst enemy
What I Should Have Said
What I should have said,
Are the words swirling inside my head.
Creeping about my mind,
Wishing for a way, one I could find,
For expressing the deepest parts of me.
Knowing I could trust, and you believe.

Love Allows
crimson velvet petals
birthed from a thorny vein
only one request they’re fulfilling
for love, who’s done with emotional pain
my heart is deep enough to hold you
each piece of you, misunderstood
don’t fear what you don’t know
agree to become what never could
