Goodbye Summer

Goodbye to the blunt warm breeze,
And rainy spontaneous kisses siezed,
And the last wild flowers leftover from spring,
And the splinters and thorns that barefeet might bring.
Goodbye to the cicadas who sing in the heat of the day,
And the fireflies blinking, goodnight they say.
Goodbye to the days that blister and scorch.
Goodbye to my freedom, and hello to the
Leaves crunching,
The animals munching
A last snack before their slumber.
Hello to the turkey roasing,
And the football fans boasting
On chilly sunday afternoons with their thick college sweatshirts.
Hello autumn.
goodbye Summer.

Welcome to My World

Come with me,
and we'll travel
far away to land of make believe,
far from here to the world of words.

Where words are
beautiful like flowers,
free like birds,
strong like storms,
and fall like rain.

Let's escape
from this humdrum life
that forgets yesterday
to a world that never erases.

A world
as sweet as
as unrulled as
as impossible as
a chocolate waterfall.

Look inside
of my eyes
and you'll see
my world of words.
Simply view
and come with me,
 and we'll be free,
if you truly love me.
