Autumn Dreams

Autumnal colours blend gold to brown,
Mythical creatures see rose in the thorn.
Dreaming of forests, and far reaching lands,
Storybook characters, movement of hands

Seeking for more, at quickening pace,
Bus wheels move faster, the passenger’s race,
Out of control, whilst wishing to find
A fairy tale ending; An ethereal kind.

Ephemeral fantasies lighten the shroud,
Yet still without answers - Wishing aloud.
More candled cakes, each candle in vain,
Embers rekindled, extinguished by rain

Angel in your eyes, such visions transpire,
Sunlight exposes each flawless Vampire,
Tears fall freely, as memories arise,
Lifelong embraces, liberated cries.
