Glazed veils, overflow; crack, with surging chills. Briny despair, on the verge of eruption,
Wearily wafting, weightlessly, in buoyant, humid hue; Floating fearlessly, clutched in hazy radiance.
Day after the longest, lounging to sounds; traffic drone, plucks from strings swelling in the whispering
Mysterious, midnight messenger, bearing life’s flare, emerging, swooping,
Day’s brightest star alights upon… breaking the horizon. He wakes; black mane, tainted auburn, sheening as he snuffles, shuffles,
Subdued and moonless, breaks the dawn, delivering the year; boisterous gloom, percussing panes,
Slipping, slowly, Struggling not to fall into dreaded dreamland. For some; a happy time of fantasy.
Fondest memories edges blurred - dimpled bottles, emptied of their tricolour liquid, shuffling their wonky necks
In reflective stillness; monotonous babel muted - bedevilled by frenzied watery panes, catapulted crosswise—
Soft morning rays, pierced the pan… Dimmed by jack-frost’s rain. Accompanied by a tabby cat, the Tailor snipped and snapped, on show - in the window.
Briny swells, surge upstream. Mighty torrents cascade; rushing,… Flood through clenching seams. Tumbling power, beautifully gleams… Thunderous, undulating,
As if a storm cloud burst. Leaves… Plumes of them across the sky. Bu… Hazy colours. Crimson, orange, go… past. Delicately brushing my face,… my senses. Such a beautiful scene,…
Dewy twilight fell outside, transparent breeze crept in, washing over all. Midnight hours swallowed; a shared,
Pearly hue, mottles through, filmy, fitful panes. Cascading its shimmer, silently; fluidly, flooding the room.
Cloaked in cloud, milky fullness, gleams but is not seen. A silvery shepherd,
