No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told

Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow

Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice

Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them

Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…

To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com

Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed

Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray

Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me

Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths

Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!

Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life

The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
