An Omen In The Leaves

Autumn descends in a flurry of leaves To chase away lush Summer days In mirrored lakes, we see her face

Flocking birds like hair surround her face Strands like the chaos of the leaves (They migrate south in Autumn days)

There are secrets heard in Autumn days Before Winter shows her deathly face Of Omens discerned in scattered leaves

Oh weep my friends for we are lost In leaves scattered like the wandering dead.

Friends

The darkness is friends with the cold. The pair of them always leave me longing, Even when I know I shouldn’t want more. When it’s light and warm, I never want more. I always go back to the darkness and the cold. In the void, there is no longing. To the pair of friends, I cast a look of longing For something, anything more. I want to be friends with the cold. The cold leaves me longing for more.

REDWOODS

Revered evergreen planted, grown together/

Stronger us paired, lateral roots an intertwining, growing,/

entangled, Change fundamental and internal/

Breathe deeply our coastal winds through our terminal/

Holding each other close foster life, and grow wings/

Ancient, treasured beasts reach for sky and sunlight gather/

When storms throw their worst tantrum we brace, we've grown/

Rain threatens tearing and whipping, we stand eternal/

When peace sweeps us back away we mourn it, two greater/

Here you are, we are heartwood together ever-growing and internal.

solace in the wide present hist'ry made, wodwo repents

sleep in a lasso, serpent proof but garden the serpent

to tomorrow i present nor one gift this eft repents

skydropping fish plane repents if it feed Midgard Serpent

in this morning's blithe present the repents present serpent

Thalassophobia.

Like sterile skeeters, weaponize our dearth; decline out of love, these numbers frauight with hatred--

but that's no ending to this thread. My eyes too dim anymore for the needle, thread

i wear upon my back my visible dearth it's no one else's hatred

among the myriad aardvark works of hatred this yardwork ties uneasily to a thread

i base my own on bornless dearth whose dearth finds hatred of void even in this thread

Adnans.

"A Clear Midnight

This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, Night, sleep, death and the stars."

--Walt Whitman (via @literature)

Take a flight over Pluto's largest moon!

on the road to the castle winding up the mountain

it's all black & white emptying into white

how small when i saw the castle was its armor; how great the mountain

to come down from that mountain wearing new marks wearing white

having found in myself the castle a castle for ev'ry mountain, marbled white

hide without safety chimeras of comfort melt away at home on our only world-home

Pangolino, safety means letting go comfort others take comfort if they but keep their home

riotous safety safety, comfort, no home

#longday flows into a #longnight This is a #tritina poem from #napowrimo2016 I actually like the recycling of words and am putting this in the maybe #revise pile if any #poem revisions happen this week though it'll be something I started last year that I've been thinking about and finally just found #neway being happy about #humpday is a mental choice so is being happier on Fridays or less so on Mondays... best wishes for your remembering the role you play in your day. #poetryisnotdead #igpoet #poetsandwriters #instagrampoets #poetsandwritersofinstagram #igpoets #bymepoetry #throwbackpoem #flashbackpoetry #catapult #bewhatyoudream https://www.instagram.com/p/B7VGM-5lxOp/?igshid=1huk91vtio0ni
