Symphony

crisp leaves underfoot

autumn's majestic fire-hues 

symphony... returned

Both Blessing And Curse

Leaden head and slumber-drunk I wish to doze

But my unconscious untethers... jolts repose 

Mute soliloquies spiral in whispered throws  

Leaking laced necklaced words which seek to be known  

Though try as I might I'm enslaved by the verse 

Its velvet elixir both blessing and curse 

After dawn's reveille words can't be coerced 

Stolen by dreams... taunting memories of mirth

Not Me

It's autumn again when the world slows down 

When stars glisten more brightly enveloping the town

When the days become shorter and the nights become long

...and I'm reminded by your absence of what I did wrong

See the flames still bewitch me when the log fires burn

Hued-leaves still fall hypnotically as they glide twist and turn

The cold air still embraces me with its invigorating kiss

...and I'm reminded by your absence of all the things I miss

So as autumn magenta-stroked sunsets slip behind the trees

The unheeding gusts of autumn bring stark branches to their knees 

Autumn's blanketed patchwork builds in waves like the sea  

And I'm reminded by your absence that without you... I'm not me

Home

One mind not we but yet heartbeats entwined 

Pulsating buds of galaxies benight 

Mosaic notes so empyrean chime

Cadence of love no greed nor fear can smite 

Spirals the shell so doth our D.N.A.

Iris and nebular both echo light

Spectrum sundered humanity's decay 

May care and empathy now be our plight 

But in uniqueness we can harmonise 

All pirouetting gracefully through time 

Through different timbres beauty's emphasised 

Quelled 

is the importance of "what is mine?"

So if now man no more covets to own   

Maybe to all this planet could be home
