Autumn's Allures

 

Autumn undresses slowly, seductively

Removing those rich vibrant tones

Bit by bit

Nature's tantalising strip tease

An annual show of natural sensuality.

Alone Now...

 

Once so close

Now separate, apart

Life plays twisted, cruel tricks.

Barriers...

 

Breaking through barriers

That have surrounded so long

Kept hidden and isolated

Yet knowing it was wrong

Courage helped take it away

One brick at a time

Now I can revel in a view

That is tranquil and divine

Seeing new paths and perspectives

New hopes and dreams

Never doubt courage

For it's the foundations of dreams.

Autumn-tide...

 

Gathering in autumnal abundance

Being humble, giving thanks

Appreciating life's little miracles.

Fright Night...

 

The strangest of encounters occurring

Meeting madness at midnight hour

Pulled in to the shadow lands

Unable to resist its power

Feeling spooked by the sensation

Haunted, taken over, not quit right

Nerve endings tingling to the max

Body in flight or fight mode

Only other thought in mind

Can I make it through the night???

Open Your Eyes...

 

Open your eyes

Take a good look

And really see

This is the full package

All that is me

All flaws and imperfections

Insecurities and fears

Never will I pretend to be

Anything other than this.
