under the shade
of the parkland trees
the grass fades
in its dark embrace
the birds go about
unknowing
filling the air with
their song

concrete crack
asphalt track
my wheels turn
chain click
air through hair
and headstrong

reverie rivers
of the script voice
soothing
pleasing
angels of mercy
touching
letter by letter

In a dream
we meet
keeping
alight the flame
we need

when autumns
turn will ignite
the hills to burn
in gods glory
colors
In cold barren
weeks the snow
will fall
like frozen
wonder
of angels weep

...

The seasons affect human thoughts in mysterious ways.
I like reading it.

Esker's picture

i was lucky to be raised by readers
and had the multiplicity of ultra alpha
minds that hung about in our
little group in high school

they urged books for me too read...
which I am glad they did..

not a hard poem..this one is rather
soft....but things need not be all
hardwood.....sometimes the
sweetest of things are made
with softwood

thank U!

Esker's picture

of great men..fallen leaders
the doomed and the damned
they had some good lines

blame the cinema..opera
shakespeare and the romans
there was always some
line they came up with
that was rather astounding
even the bible with its passages
to read has its memorable
scheme of attractable writing..

i like the rugged writing

snow is falling
like spit sinking
in the lurid fountian
Pigeons shit on
the dead hero
know one knows
he could pick
them from the air
with his sabre
and those eyes
Im hungry
watching the candy
wrappers
spin lazy in the basin
I need a fix
I need a drink
I need to get
laid
The sun is like
a paint balls
message
on a grey ruined
wall

There too me
this is semi hard
poetry
I want to write
more demanding
grittier..
One day

thank U for
your comments
