Autumn again
red leaves spring
red leaves fall
red leaves for winter

somewhere
Summer
shimmers verdant

falling for Autumn
for not one
stays green

brays green
fades red
the hue
off Her shoulder
betrays not an Angel
but Devil sat over

He whispers and She
She laughs
red with glee
falling for Autumn
recalling Her being

He noticed a scorpion on her cheek
crawling up into her hair
She didn't seem to feel it there
and kept speaking, so he sat still
and listened

When she was finished the creature
stopped above her ear
its tail curled in the air
He reached to her and brushed it off
with a silent whisper

between my thoughts
she streaks like eyes
down lines of farmland
razed for tithes

a naked field
to the nines
dressed up in sunsets
through ribbed spines

scent of a woman
sent from god
sends me forever
ascending awed

i want to rewind time
because i've been a broken record
since you've left.
i've been caught on
thinking about you and me
and the things we never were.
i'm hoping that
i could change that
last hug to a last kiss,
with you pushing me up against your car,
fingers running through your hair.
i want to feel your lips against mine,
even though i know they kissed hers the day before.
what did she whisper into your mouth,
i love you?
i'll miss you?
you mean everything to me?
because if she didn't,
i surely would have,
only if you just gave me the chance.
