Night mountain climb

Night Mountain Climb

Waning in the twilight
mourning in the moonlight
yearning in the starlight
reaching in the dark night

For that falling star
catch it when on par
but
creeping up on you
is the need to make a stew
so,

will it start with the onion
that brought tears to your cheeks
for you need strength
to climb that mountain
through the weather bleak

In the dark, climbing forth
and climbing through
through the pain
 til you find 
the Castle waiting for you

For up on the mountain fallow
is the Castle in the shadows

The centered street light bathes me in a familiar orange dim and a crows' perched on the rim silently he stares me down as my face bleeds a dripping frown like black slate running down my cheeks this is the greatest, deepest grief  Grieving for all that was I tried so hard to make it last even though I barely grasped  my vibrance, muf...

Lying seeds

broken glass of a soaking jar never got that far not quite up to par beckoned by the wrong seed to soak to breed 'twas the wrong order, see the wrong angle to heed like the watch ticking in the drawer unsorted in the dishevelled subordinate corner it be and atop there was the jar of seeds failing to sprout with the desperate pixie welling up in a pout for not soaking the right seeds fruition doth leave and nutrition won't be out the door with the breeze then the rageful angry screams shatter the jar with the seeds and the pixie fell to her knees with the tears of the tease of those damn lying seeds! - S.
