A scary journey,
to love without restriction.
Quickly my path fades.

A scary journey,
to love without restriction.
Quickly my path fades.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A crackling leaf-
Transformation hinges near-
Just before the freeze.
Rain dances on me-
The overflow demonstrates-
True thirst can’t be quenched.
In need of escape,
Tangy tequila biting,
Break up the mundane.
Basking without care,
Warmed by your summer embrace,
How quickly leaves change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spend it all on me,
Exhaust all of your efforts,
Thoughtless Affliction.

*****
Ice encroaches it,
sunlight cannot light it up,
grasp warmth from within.
*****
~~~~~~~~~~~
Patient pondering,
Flippant musings of your smile,
Refreshing Release.

At last I saw it.
The breakable heart of glass.
Steal away the night.
