To 'V'.
(2013)
Subdued and moonless, breaks the dawn, delivering the year; boisterous gloom, percussing panes,
As if a storm cloud burst. Leaves… Plumes of them across the sky. Bu… Hazy colours. Crimson, orange, go… past. Delicately brushing my face,… my senses. Such a beautiful scene,…
Sundown upon me, meandering amongst them; enchanted, midst the dimness, inveigled by their mighty sway. Whirring winds
In reflective stillness; monotonous babel muted - bedevilled by frenzied watery panes, catapulted crosswise—
Mysterious, midnight messenger, bearing life’s flare, emerging, swooping,
Poised to pounce, behind a filmy glaze, a blackness, filled with everything, and nothing.
Magical silence, frames soulful melody, woeful beauty, endearing refrain. Chills nip my spine,
Tempered breaths, lids sink, sealed, Solid spine, grounded deep. Hubbub hushed,
The light of tonight’s full moon shines softly over you. Silently caressing through the gla… Your powerful physique, enhanced by perfect shadows,
Swathed in murky grey, undulating, almost weightless, sounds drowned, submerged in subtle
Day after the longest, lounging to sounds; traffic drone, plucks from strings swelling in the whispering
Static. White noise. Deafening silence, overflows; trickling webs
Soft morning rays, pierced the pan… Dimmed by jack-frost’s rain. Accompanied by a tabby cat, the Tailor snipped and snapped, on show - in the window.
Glazed veils, overflow; crack, with surging chills. Briny despair, on the verge of eruption,
Behind a blinking twinkle, difference disappears, swirling midst an onyx cave, masked, like moon from sun.
