Of Golden Days

Of Golden Days

I'm sorry
If I woke you up last night
My pen told me secrets in whispers
And I carved scars and tales

Of silly incantations and
old fallen trees
Of golden days in summer breeze
and tattered amber sundresses
Of apple bites and ripe grapes
near the broken glass on the carpet; they decayed
Ashes danced on my lips; sculpting poems on my skin
and flicking cigarette on my wounds
Smudged mascara and dulcet memories
Leather fabricated journals of vintage times
hiding crisp carcasses of yellow daises
Euphonious chortles and
early morning smiles
Forgotten tea leaves in the teapot
and ginger bread turning cold
Sun rays, like gold dust, sparkling in the air
Through the tall trees of a forest
hanging on the clouds in despair
First day of Spring, magical it is
like a caterpillar's fate
Silky cocoon, shiny chrysalis, emerging out as a butterfly
Leaving as old and embracing the new
Igniting the sky over my purple roof
