Chimera Leaves

Chimera Leaves

Chimera leaves shedding
Heaped on
My mind's floor
today
Silver and gold flakes...

Where is the torch....
I held sky high
Sacred flame
Ignite

We will watch the fire  dance
And our memories
Crackle  and hiss at fate
Spitfires of doused regrets...

A falling leaf  surreal slow  motion denies the pull of  death
Diagonally
A sliver a tear a chrysalis in the winds
Of  forgotten circumstances...

Silver and gold
Piles of chimera leaves
Spread out
Laying on the floor
Of my mind's
magical carpet
Rustling softly ...gentlest
Caress

We shall rake you another
Day.

The Bonfire of
Human  bondage
Binding contract...

Thus...
We shall celebrate.
