Chilled Autumn Eve
lost in space, or a bench at a park
my mind once a swirl, now just as dry as these leaves
scattered about, shades amber and brown
i could just drown, in this sea of a park
trees bare branch, stripped of all
naked, as the wind caresses us
chills carry down the timbers,
but i feel yet not, still fraught
with a lack, that no chilled autumn eve,
could ever hack.

Beyond the Mirror
Beyond the Mirror mimic, himself in the mirror perfect reflection of self-healed beyond gaze, a man crumbles disease rotting from within worn strands of hands grasp for help, but only shake with a smile, but it is fake the man is riddle with decay hiding his decline only to protect, the target, is not to be known. 11/17/21 – Andy McRae
Sol
Sol Can the Sun’s rays, bring down the days counted from the last until the very brave come forth to claim that the days were never slain by the very gleam carried before the rain lost in weeks of reflection those days of inner connection brought on by the Sun or turmoiled by the winds moved by the thought that these reflections brought raised to boom away the winds in hopes they sweep away my sins the moon grows cold late autumn world my sun is gone away but my stars are here to stay. 11/13/21 – Andy McRae
The Crunch of Leaves Under Foot
The Crunch of Leaves Under Foot leaves dancing in the tumbles of the breeze decay falling down, to the ground, so brown my mind filled, thoughts scattered and worn this body torn by stress, no time to decompress a black silhouette mourns down the cobbled path leaves on the left, death on the right, time behind soft footfall leaves crunched leaves under heel how can a man feel when the world is dying 11/9/21 – Andy McRae
Doom & Destiny
Doom & Destiny
Shade befallen vale
There I dwell
Where I fail
To put to quill
Such things as I will
Seeing spiders crawl
On the walls,
In the corners of my eye
Creak of bones
Hidden in my walls
Banging,
Begging to be released
Of this world I saw a fall
On an autumn wind
I forsee destruction
As words seem to fail me
I find myself unveiled to thee
Can you see through my walls
Are my shields transparent
Am I that aberrant
Doomed to lie in decay
Destined to die in dismay

A Tune of Autumn
A Tune of Autumn Heather on my lips Needles in my eyes A wisp smoke on the eve Before it all burnt down Daydreamt dragons In a lair exquisite I pilfer one piece But only leave A little toasted Silver melody bellows, Carries through the wind Past my ear as I wallow Bunkered under a willow A tune of autumn Of the end of seasons Yet the beginning of others 9/11/21 - Andy McRae
Dying of the Leaves
Dying of the Leaves Swinging with the breeze The dying of the leaves Brings with them a dim glee Dancing around the trees Chanting, We will not go Falling down in piles Death grips thee Bury all those surrendered Pits into a mound Bury them in the ground Flames in the air Licking the trees Orange, Yellow, Red Watch them from a slumber Dreary eyed night The dead watch the dying Fall from high up in the sky Covered in leaves Rot on the breeze Such heavy fees 9/4/20 - Andy McRae
