This poem will be available for viewing when the publication is released.Leaves of Autumn sprinkle sounds of subtle dying
Trinkets of stolen kisses drip tears of subtle crying
Baubles of secret words stitch and thread my life
But your razored comments slice my heart like a knife.
I have waited on the verandah of forever
I wait, look at stars, hope for success of your endeavour
My thoughts lie dying in the dark pool of your mind
I search to be accepted, myself I cannot find.
Saturn circles your smile
Venus splits in my green eyes
Stardust sprinkles over us
As hope begins to rise.
Cold tears melt
From icicles down my face
The dying dream is gone
Shimmering hope in its place.
