Water smoothed as keyboard white and black 

wilted as I could only be in autumn

less than strangers atop the hood, ’96 Toyota dreamed

Windows down - windows always down back then; 

music soft with so little time

to be running out. 

 

Sombre moment in tortoise-shell light 

-far-off moon

-far-off all

You ask me something purposeful, something to

what might come next.

 

“Stay with me,” I think and say.

You cast your eyes to the side, half nodding half sitting 

silent before Blackly Pool and still waters ink.

 

Oh, but for those edges in a night. 

Those trees dark in their waving circle.

 

As to how a moon in autumn can be the best thing to see

(A world beyond portrait)

with frosted winter and dreamt golden spring?

 

Ask the beautiful girl and the lonely boy

sitting listening to tunes

beside Blackly Pool 

at night.

Thanks for sharing this.

Good one, Lennon, I enjoyed the read.

Thanks for the nice comments, this one wasn't an easy one to write, and not for any reason I can see; was trying to find something that wasn't willing to show itself, lol

bump for quality

Wow, well done for sure. Thanks for bumping.

I agree with Peter. Very high quality, indeed. Enjoyed very much.
