She found strength in the one thing she desperately feared, suitcase in hand, she walked away. A smile on her lips, a tear in her eye, every step pumped strength through her veins, until she was unstoppable, a force to be reckoned with.

I am~ as one would expect to be~ a volunteer in the cleanup of an atomic explosion~ the rubble of my being~ cluttering the path to my future~ my past only memories. -Autumn Phoenix

Dreamed You

I dreamed you~in that place~we have never parted.

Summers Last Bloom

Beauty unfolds, dawns light, pure and delicate cast this, summers last bloom in stunning repose.

You Asked

You ask~ to see who I am~read my words~they are~ bits of me~they speak when I am speechless in your presence.

Drowning Dreams

Sinking in darkness~I reach for his hand~as the shallows deepen~I am swallowed~the waves cover my head~spilling in~in a strangling rush~through the surface~I can see~him on the waters edge~not alone~his hand in hers~I drown in memories... -Autumn Phoenix

Ocean Play

Ocean Play

Gently, gent;y he takes her hand

warm and course the tiny grains of sand
cling to their legs and feet.

Salty sprays of aqua blue
the ocean conspires against the two
to send them running from its waves.

In the wake of rolling tides
laughter sparkling in their eyes
hand in hand they dodge the surf.

A Fresh Start

Lightening, flash and thunder roar
Light and dark patterns roll by
My landscape is changed.

As my past dies, my future begins.
Yesterday is a rival of a newborn day.

This is my chance, this is my sway,
To close the door on mistakes.
To start afresh is my promise made.
