Autumn Haunts the Air

Coxcomb red her hair, viper black her eyes

Over fields of lace I hear her lullabies…

Lavender dreams of the gossamer streams

Lying in a mist of nothing it seems…

Ever a numbness as leaves pass the day

Ever a fragrance of autumn’s display

Now fighting the future, I beg you to stay...

"Coxcomb red her hair, viper black her eyes"
Circe the Nymph...Sirens luring men to sharp sea rocks...Medusa with a snakes for hair... La Belle Dame Sans Merci...Annabel Lee- all good company, yes. Despite the beauty of your seductive red-haired maiden and your haunting words, I detect a backstory of darkness in this mystical poem, perhaps. Surreal tendrils that wrap around tightly, then leave one gaping for air. Lyrical language, dramatic imagery and tone. I can still see her "mist of nothing it seems" and feel its salty sting. Excellent evocative write!

Thank you so much Annette! And yes... it is true. Almost every poem I write connects somewhere into my world, and this one does have a dark place hiding there. Now, may you only find light in your Christmas season!

The last line gently unfolds the multidimention of autumn.. first, words pointed at beauty and then it starts to slide! Love
