leaves paint auburn
       against grey hues
      onto a canvas of
horse drawn carriages
             as looming rainclouds
    of watercolour nightmares
               etch poetry across
   the countryside
into scriptures embedded
         in stone
with broken quills
    and sparse ink

stormy nights
        lull dejected souls to slumber
with dayglo dreams
   as the only lustre against darkness
awaiting the smell
   of pine to
      drown night in dawn
while shrivelling shadows fall through
serpentine gardens
     of microburst baptisms
and travel across flowing
riversides of sanctified sins
    each breath of air
       they inhale
           another injection
  of solemnity

woodland paths lead to gates
    of autumn entombed
         as words of weight are discarded
to live in the snow
    where frosty air freezes over
           the lock to infernal suffering
trapping outside life
    in rhapsody's prose of redemption
         a purity that can only be written about
   in a journal
               kept by nowhere
For :iconkeanuwantroomservice:, Duke of Nowhere.

Thank you for murdering me with inspiration, I only hope that the feeble words I leave behind are enough to cleanse the blood that tarnishes your hands. ♥

Such sadness, such beauty, Oh it leaves me with a dreamy feeling~
