Autumn

 

Russet confetti

Tumbling whirling in the wind

Blowing Autumn in

 

 

Fresh chill in the air

Golden carpet on the ground

Rusty brown whirlwinds

 

 

Heart and home yearning

Posters and loud music gone

My life flew the nest

 

Fingertips touch me

Lightning strikes my very core

Awash with pleasure

 

 

Walls lined with knowledge

The excitement of learning

Ancient words on shelves

 

 

Fields are harvested

Vibrant hues of reds and browns

Mourn now the Summer

 

 

Work days behind you

Warm in the bosom you trust

Autumn's golden daze

 

 

Nature shifting now

Gold leaf carpet bare trees bend

Howling for Winter

 

 

Alas hope has gone

For seedlings in our garden

No fruits of our love

 

 

Winter

 

Natural and bare

Naked as a winter tree

Do you see me now?

 

 

Prickles pain my face

Evil with hostility

Winter's north wind blows

Nyx sprinkle bright stars

Down from your swift chariot

Illume our nighttide
 

My love has left me

Whispering winds call my name

Broken is my soul

 

No shelter in sight

Cutting biting shards of ice

Cold queen of Winter

 

 

Morning frost creeping

Enhancing nature's display

Leaves glint in the sun
 

 

 

You know what to do

Deliver me from the dark

Then bathe in my light

 

 

Waves storm the shoreline

Pulling stones into the foam

Cascading pebbles

 

 

You promised, Me first

No longer living my life

Waiting, just waiting

 

 

Spring

 

Shoots of life appear

On the barren fields of war

Hope Springs eternal




Predestined to meet

By will of Aphrodite

You are my passion

 

 

Dress hangs on the door

Pearls of white and crystals shine

Her new life begins

 

 

 

I await your touch

To arouse my emotions

And fill my senses

 

My heart beats for thee

Nerves aching for thy soft touch

Te amo mucho
 

 

The day is now here

God will witness the bonding

When two become one

 

 

They bow down their heads

Heavy with the morning dew

Worshipping the sun

 

 

One thought of you

My velvet bloom doth flower

Flooded with pure joy




They bow down their heads

Heavy with the morning dew

Worshipping the sun

 

 

Crocus and snowdrops

Daffodil's golden trumpets

Heralding the Spring

 

 

Summer

 

Great Alectrona

You wake us from our slumber

With your golden light




Swathes of petals pink

Scented breeze blows over me

Hazy Summer days

 

 

My cherry blossomed

Ripened by the Summer sun

Oh forbidden fruit

 

 

 

Incense wafting past

Heady with sweet memories

Scents of Summer love

 

 

I steal a quick glance

You are staring intently

Or was I hoping

 

Lush emerald grass

Daisy chains and picnic fare

My love lies with me

 

 

Long warm evenings

Jasmine floods the sultry air

Intense Summer heat

 

 

 

Our bodies entwined

Forged in the heat of desire

Life born of our Love




Love conquers all things

Omnia vincit amor

In any language
