Glimpses and scenes,
flashes and epiphanies,
stories told once
long ago,
forgotten amongst
the crimson snow.
Clear flakes wither
before they reach
landing,
the crisp, the
cold, it's so
demanding,
trees beautiful, but
saddened with death,
walking through our
winter wonderland.

Pleasure to be a part of it, Worf.

Thanks, Yam...I am glad you saw the allegory in it too. ^_^

Thinking about someone prompted me to write this short ditty:

"And if one day, you were to turn,
Respond to my own longing
Perhaps you’d see, within my yearn,
A place where you belong in."

EDIT: Great poem, Yrolg; the way in which you cast Autumnal leaves as being a coat of red worn by the trees was, in my eyes, brilliant. Interesting poems from Aeraie, Cyun and Bubble, too.

Drink from the splednors,
above and below,
Feast from the spectators,
whose gazes you all know,
Talk about a better tomorrow,
when there is enough time today,
Laugh because this is the moment,
the one you've waited on,
Binge quickly now,
before it's all gone.

And thanks Snow! I enjoy reading everyone's poems, I had somewhat quit on writing, but you guys kind of inspire me to keep going, so thanks.

It feels so obligatory.
This cresendo of an abode.
And it feels like,
I'm the only one,
courageous enough to
take a stand,
in this place they call a home.

Yay. Short poem.

--- Sorrow of the Sea ---

A young girl stood on a rocky shore
A cool wind blowing from sea to moor
Her tears ran gleaming, streaking her face
She began to lose sense of time and place

The sea's roaring stopped, an awed silence fell
As the Lord of the Waves appeared on the swell
He said, "What troubles you, girl, down by the sea?
What sorrows cause your tears to run free?"

"The one that I love," she said in reply
"Can you explain why he had to die?"
"Death," the Lord said, "is part of Nature,
And of what time He strikes, none can be sure.

"Yet Death's final call is no reason to mourn-
Others will help with the burden you've borne.
Take solace, my dear, you'll see him again;
Passing on is never the final end."

The girl lifted her two watery eyes
A morbid plot she began to devise
"Death is only the beginning, you say?
If that be so, I shall not delay."

She leaped from the cliff, and the noise returned
The girl's tear-driven actions to spurn
The Lord gave a howl, the waves gave a crash
As the girl plunged in with a sickly splash

None have since stood on that rocky shore
The wind does not blow from sea to moor
Birds alter the paths they used to follow
For the sea recalls the young girl's sorrow.

A little change-up from my normal stuff, but I was feeling structured for once.

EDIT: Changed the last stanza to fit the theme a bit more.

_Really?_

So this is the way it has to be.
Are you so immature
that you'd go as far as ignoring me?
Don't be a coward,
I just want to know what
I've done.
Quit acting oblivious
as if nothing's wrong.
Do you understand how much
this hurts?
In my dreams you yell at me,
and as it becomes more evident,
this plague inside,
it just becomes worse.
You know who you are,
so at least say hello.
You know who I am,
so at least hello.
Unless you no longer want to talk,
then at least let me know.
