                                naked
                                and cold

I can hear your sculpture.
Can you see my symphony?

 

[Icingsugar]

Autumn stole leaves,
left webs of black twigs
for winter.

[Linbido]

new hands
on untouched skin
unlocks
unravels
scares no more

----

breathe the city
hear it sing
return home

----

archaic words
for modern thoughts
the bards are swooning

----

I love you.
No, really.
Stop laughing.
I do.

----

Unexpected,
sneaking in
for no special reason:
A nice day.

[Somme]

Nicely done, cupcakes....

 

[Rybka]

Autumn

Squirrels leap
from branch to branch
leaves fall.

[eagleyez]

snuck down
around back

scrawled letters
shedding willow.

[eagleyez]

cushion
of the early
night

pillows
and
dreamer travel.

[eagleyez]

out on the balcony
a current of air

train should be by
soon.

[eagleyez]

coyote
chases
shadows
across
tracks
just in
time.

 

[Linbido]

Decadense in Tinseltown?
Fuck it all, we're gonna drown!

[eagleyez]

that was this morning

 

[jthserra]

bright orange

bright orange
I trace a fallen leaf
on your breast

 

[jthserra]

autumn sky

autumn sky
the last of the sun
in her hair

 

[Maria2394]

heat of his gaze
burns holes
through bra
and breasts
*********

winter's icy kiss
melts upon touch
of fiery silken skin

********

tastes of yellow
snow, NO
don't make dessert
with that!

 

[OT]

slog
through boggy days

a week submerged in swamp


*****
surrounded
buried
overwhelmed

by crap

 

[eagleyez]

alpine
symphony
heat pipes
groan

lavender jazz
the river sunrise.
