Friendship Summoned....

Friendship Summoned

 

I opened myself up and bled friendship

everyone around me was splattered by it

Some instantly removed the unwanted invasion

while others welcomed the invitation

 

Friendship summoned filled the air

It removed the lack of hope and despair

as strangers intersected in life moments

and soaked in the warm enchantment

 

I wanted to arrive unknown

find some warmth in greetings sown

To capture the essence of new souls

to imagine with my eyes closed

the joy of times in friendship born

to wander on paths newly formed

and like a blossom in the rain

flourish and soothe life's pain

 

As I travelled with friendship in hand

I realized that true love never plans

That emotions thrive among real friends

and persists till the very end

IMAGINE...

Imagine

 

Imagine a window with no view

would the outdoors thrive without you

would the, I love you, on your tongue

be just a thought or true love hung

like some emotion just waiting to be released

existing long enough to someone please

 

Imagine cream topped emotional waves

rolling like sunlit bellowing sails

advancing and crashing on your personal shore

in pure simplicity, nothing more

would attachment to material things

really make sense, when death takes everything

 

Imagine your existence never ending

your life never surrendering

would gratitude during your eternal age

fill the void of an earthly grave

 

Then, imagine your life without walls

open and welcoming to all

and when you look through that window

imagine visions of life that gently flow

painted on the landscape of your reality

Imagine a freshly renewed personality

RED LEAF DOWN....

Red Leaf Down

 

There lies a most colorful leaf

cast to the earth brown

A natural act of grief

while summer quietly absconds

 

Red leaf down comes with a frown

tints the flavor of Autumn

that resides on forest crowns

and carpets its shaded bottom

 

Red leaf down without a doubt

stirs our hearts at sunset

as orange and yellows shout

beauty, beauty without regret

 

Red leaf down lies fair

stillness on frosted ground

velvet black in night air

hide its color in darkness found

 

Red leaf down in woods and dales

under moonlight that silently strays

where yellow is white that fades

and red is brown that somehow stays

 

Red leaf down, red leaf down

on moist soil it humbly lays

it provokes thoughts profound

by flashing its crimson ways

PASSION PRISON...

Passion Prison

Behind the grey door

youthful passion is no more

Mirrored walls reflect emptiness

where once strolled naked loveliness

Those lusty chains of love

shackles hanging from above

Those restraints and familiar games

in passionate hours spent, now seem lame

While time appears frozen like glass

it quickly shatters when released at last

in the chill of advancing Autumn

frosted like life's ebbing passion

Human passions in age fully restrained

bound in routine that remains

like a shadow of yesterdays tales

are covered in lustful aches

As confidence succumbs to age

wisdom becomes a parchment page

that cracks in the passing of time

while passion escapes to other climes

Where warm confinement is endured easily

where tomorrow waits tragically

soaked in memories essence

unaware of its shackled consequence

In the passion prison of advanced age

Desires are locked in cold cages

Hidden from life's swift race

'Tis old ages inherited disgrace
