I.

Which dwarfs us, also,
our majesty shows:
For to embering oak
a golden acorn grows.

II.

An ambrous fork where you, my love,
whisper true forgotten words
echoing in the soul in essence—
now below the surf submerged.

III.

The claw of autumn
casts aspersions
and evergreens collect them.

IV.

Through the vert and skyblue,
burdenless to stroll—
companions in the flesh
soft-intermesh along life's toll.

Sort:  

The entanglement of humans and nature seems here both unavoidable and unbreakable.
Trees’ imposing stature emerges above moral grounds, self reproduce, self-regenerate. Time and time again, despite our urban impositions, nature finds ways to remind us how insignificant we can be before nature’s magnificence.

Nature also provides the canvas on which we paint undeletable memories that survive the changes in the surroundings. We may end up forgetting how the path or the forests looked like, but sure we remember what we did there.

It is as if, fully aware of the fragility of physical existence, nature finds ways to merge with the ethereal in us and transcends though our memories the submersions and submissions.

These lines provide a beautiful pictorial representation of seasonal change, despite the taloned intimidating brushes.

The claw of autumn
casts aspersions
and evergreens collect them

Only passionate amorous irreverence can stroll through the rough and twisted barriers of ever changing fronds.

Very well said. Elegant, imaginative, and much-appreciated commentary @hlezama!

Thank you, my friend. Always a pleasure to get lost in your poetic forests.

@d-pend,

Nicely done. I'm not sure if I'm way off-base but what dawned on me was the four seasons metaphorically representing stages in a romantic relationship. The stages of love if you will ... from lovers in youth to companions in old age.

A viable read, my friend! Hadn't occurred to me, but I reckon it fits.

I always thought you were the only pedestrian in that area. Now I am comforted to see that other human souls do occupy your stomping grounds. You guys have a really awesome autumn.

Haha. Depends on the date and time; one might be the only human milling around. But generally unless the weather is awful a few sentient creatures creep around the creek area. It's a nice partial escape from the technological boxes in which we dwell.

What others don't realize is that when you step outside you become a sentient being.

Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world.

Each poem is so spot on. Interesting layout. Nice compelling pictures.

I enjoy poetry and write for fun too, so I appreciate your share.

Thanks!

Appreciate it my friend. Glad to meet a fellow creator and thanks for the comment!

A tribute to the simplicity that shelters the magnificence of nature in conjunction with emotional states that bring out the best and the worst of the human being and at the same time, drives the majesty of life. From the title, the poem is an allegory to the night as a loving lover.
Beautiful photographs in tune with poetry.

Thank you for being here for me, so I can be here for you.
Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3

Dear @d-pend sir!
What poetry is divided into four sections, it seems to be describing the four stages of life.
In the first canto, description of the initial state of life like oak tree
Conflicts of Life in Second canto
Good bad experiences of life in the third canto.
In the last canto, the permanent halt of life merged in God.

Interesting interpretation, thanks @certain.

awesome how there is a picture for each stanza or did the pictures come first and inspire the poetry? tight now that you are using your own photos

Nice poetry. I like IV poetry. Many many thanks.
