Out of the brisk scourge of autumn Into, the creeping fog of winter Where the cold drives us in Drawn to our own thoughts And the old toll of quiet reverence Tried and true celebration Permeates from quaint homesteads As kin bellow Tales of great triumph Pried from sorrowful depths And dashed Upon the fires…

Enclosed night by night Are unpolished ravings That nest within my skull Sunlight soothes All midnight serenades Far from their home Of dreary, dark abundance Daybreak sullies My shadowy confessions That have long lurked aimlessly From beneath my battered hide I’ve spent every one And now skeletons remain Stripped of succulent worth Dry, hollow and…

Recall lit carousels In twirling jubilation While the seas softly buck And lovers swoon Upon the journey of their merry paths Home was omnipresent Radiating from the faultless sky A young sky Of twilit glory Magnificent whole and unspoiled The screams of delight Lord over each patient earlobe Stoic, towering overseers That cleave the vast…
