Falling Leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

unrelenting dreams
curse my ears
shatter my reality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not knowing what is
creates tiny puddles
which cling to my
spheres of blue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

being lost within pictures at night
pushes me into a realm
of closing walls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the last dance of twisted memories
forever my partner they will be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

quicksand is now my shadow
fear, an unrequested ally
teaches me lessons
which i do not learn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wind carrying me
within my own bondage
cycling
but
i have moments of
reprieve
as I get lost
in the magical charm
of
falling leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
