Fall Trees

Crisp colour displayed,
Rearing like proud old men
Heads held high into the cool
Fresh air
Fantastic red and yellow
Burn against the blue sky

Each leaf wet and bright
Decay and beauty clinging
To every branch

-jordan sharpe




Snow caked forest

wrapped in white and smothered in cold
the snow caked forest sleeps
content to let me slip within its dream
I walk softly onward through
the snow caked forest
every over-arching sentinel comforts me
all I want is this white silence
out of this snow caked forest I
stumble, weeping for peace

-jordan sharpe





Bitter Pool

Bitterness is a pool
Through the shallows I
wade
Plunging onward
Driven by unrelenting hope

All I find is water
Filling up my lungs
Dead silence is the
murky, blue music
I die to

-jordan sharpe





Love

I feel the longing
shoulders hunched
eyes sqeezed tightly
I want your warmth
to rely on my strength

From head bowed
to eyes raised
I see you
those jewel orbs never wavering
our locked gaze keeps the
moon bound in the sky

Memory of you on my fingertips
Burning up my fears
Gold strands fall lightly
Intimate heat
Grey and deep, I lose myself
Lilting laughs and sweet smiles
Ours

Chin tucked into your shoulder
here is where I'm content
keep us one
never let go

-jordan sharpe
