Poems
Aug 2015
nashua
flames in the treetops
autumn has overstayed
and in the rain swept away,
insurmountable.
the leaves on the streets
slippery still,
and my heartbeat still
and i can't leave you here like this
yet insurmountable
the distance completes the arc
we cannot seem to make the ends meet
green, yellow, in bloom again
spring has returned
and in its warming light
we've been carried home
and with a crash of thunder
summer came pouring in
and i lose you to the floods and the wind
and insurmountable
the seasons constant shift
and i'm left high and dry
to uncoil and twist
black, red, bruised and broken
bury me in the early autumn's leaves
oh, nashua
the morning fog
insurmountable
for all the words we should've said
for all the apologies i never heard
why do we leave it this way
why do we end things at hate,
i don't know
orange, red, turn your clock back again
oh autumn has overstayed her hesitant welcome
and if the sun goes a little sooner each day
and your heart just wants to pour down rain
i say let it rain
another favorite from the fall 2010 works
i still play this one too.
