Fleeting Autumn
Barren spectral trees
entreating fleeting Autumn
one last ray of light

Autumn Memories
Autumn always brings memories of you. I see your eyes in the bright turquoise sky, and I hear your cadence in the birdsong outside my window. I watched a video of you singing, and I wondered, why did you silence your voice? Did you believe there was no other way?
autumn leaves decay
rain still falls, sadness remains
as mourning doves coo

Autumn Dayspring
Peach faced sun peeking
over the painted horizon
singing with glory the promise
of a brilliant Autumn dayspring
Crisp cool air upon bare cheeks
the striking scene mesmerizing
I close my eyes and listen, in sync
with the tiny hummingbird’s tweeting
His joyous song dances on rose tinted air,
as he puffs his small iridescent chest
and mourning doves join with gentle coos
in this moment, I am infinite, blessed.

Desire is a Slow Ember
Desire is a slow ember glowing, burning
Igniting flames to illuminate black night
Their need dangerous wanting, yearning
For that which is gone from tender sight
Igniting flames to illuminate black night
Two souls craving the fiery touch of another
For that which is gone from tender sight
Stoking hot cinders that will not smother
Two souls craving the fiery touch of another
Shedding clothes, inhibitions with wild abandon
Stoking hot cinders that will not smother
Love’s fire blooms, raging with unleashed passion
Shedding clothes, inhibitions with wild abandon
Their need dangerous, wanting, yearning
Love’s fire blooms, raging with unleashed passion
Desire is a slow ember glowing, burning

Brushstrokes
brushstrokes on blue sky
pampas grass sways with fall breeze
birds catch southern wind
brushstrokes on blue sky
silhouettes in golden light
soft rustling of reeds
pampas grass sways with fall breeze
graceful dance of cotton tops
a tuft breaks free, soars
birds catch southern wind
bidding farewell to autumn
before the snow comes

Wicked
The slow beat, beat, beat of your heart gives me a thrill as it begins to race, picks up the pace, what a wicked chill to feel the power of your embrace
While my soul conspires to consume your delicious taste upon my thirsty lips as your ocean crests and dips, slips into the abyss, sealing our fates
….Forever.

Waiting for the Roses
Here, in this place, this haphazard garden, is peace. The lavender spills into the path, breaking free of its boundaries. The bright orange Mexican sunflowers with their golden pom-pom centers, are blooming even now in late November. Bees hover around the milkweed, gathering pollen for their nutrient rich honey. We are watching a chrysalis for signs of life and soon, a butterfly will emerge, free to soar the azure sky.
The first week in December, the Rio Sambas will be at the height of their winter blooming. December 7th is my late mother’s birthday; they bloom to remind me she is always here.
This is my favorite season in Arizona. Other parts of our country have had their first snowfall, but here it is a balmy 72 degrees today. This is our Autumn, and we suffer through the brutal hot summers, sweating and waiting for these glorious days.
December rose blooms
brilliant petals blossoming
fading, fall to earth

Awakening
The Chrysalis……Vivid Green
Birthing Life
(a change)
In direction from Crawling to Flying
Exactly what I am doing now that
I am Writing…………Flying Free
(soul soaring)
Transformed……..Worlds of Words to conquer
So. Little. Time.

Grey
Heartbroken, she now forever resigned
For alas her sorrow had come to stay
No bells were tolling, no telling signs
No hooting owl on that bitter cold day,
When a fragile heart stopped and the world went grey
She walks at night praying to see his face in the pale moon
And looks for his brilliant eyes in the tempestuous sea,
But he’s not there she’s bereft, for he left gone all too soon
And she, once vibrant is now cursed to forever be
A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free
