The
forthcoming of fall is upon us
As
autumn winds, commence anew
Spellbound,
gazing at the harvest moon
A
revelation that awakens the essence
I
now yearn for the cold, long nights
As
the darkness is a port, my haven
Becoming
one with the elements
In
the coming fury of the tempests
The
raging – untamed force of nature
As
the winds howl, placating my soul
A
heart undone, becoming whole anew
Beckons
to heal, even for a brief moment
Within
the deafening roar of the storm
May
there be a season of awaiting sorrow
As
the leaves fall, kindred to falling tears
Silenced
is the voice; words remain unheard
An
eerie feeling consumes, yet fascinates
The
calling felt deeply within the core
I
see the light in this darkness, the path
Yet,
I stray far away from these rays
The
dark grey skies that now befall
Are
kindred to the minds-eye, befitting
All
that which now resides, in this heart
Be
there a time, as I so longed for the sun
Those
days, now lost in a different space
An
era that once was, but now gone astray
A
creature of the night I am, a dark nymph
One
that cannot be caged, nor constrained
Listen;
listen ever so closely to the melody
As
the moon begins to sing a sweet lullaby
So
serene, bewitching the senses timelessly
Do
NOT speak of the warmth of the sun
A
nymph of the night I am – captivated
In
cover of shadows do I dwell, eternally
As
the season comes and goes –reflecting
A
heart that bleeds with no sign of stopping
Pressing
the pen unto page – without end
Yes
my beloved, my moon, my sweet muse
I
have loved you since the beginning of time
Fallen
mesmerized within the magnitude,
Of
your enigmatic nature –bewildered
As
the radiance completes my dark heart
I
roam beneath the silvery moonlit paths
Dancing
and swirling amongst the stars
As
newfound life pulsates in these veins
In
the anticipation of your sweet release
