΅〜 ೋღ ღೋ     〜΅

Seasonal daydreams…
Inducement of contemplation…
Crystal clarity colors perfection…
Kaleidoscope…

 ΅〜〜΅ 
September dissipates summertime sadness…
Lost in Autumn’s haze…
Interminable wait…
October’s promise…
Precursor to winter’s wrap…
Undertones of unknown fill the space between…

΅〜〜΅
Hope meets Dream…
Their collision sparks ignition…
November’s epiphany waits impatiently…
Mists of enchantment permeate dreams… filling them with potentialities…

΅〜〜΅
Theoretical assumptions…
Phantoms of Nostalgia…
The quintessential question remains anonymous…
Silently demanding detours…

΅〜〜΅
December hints evocatively at New Year’s renewal…
Presumptive lugubrious thoughts…
Induce Thought’s labyrinth…
Ignoring ignorance…

΅〜〜΅
Dreams sustain impetuous assumption…
Answers lie cloaked in enigmatic disguise…
Leaving never-ending questions where the Shadows of Temerity roam…

΅〜 ೋღ ღೋ     〜΅
This is the season yearning…
For illumination…

  1. Well hello there! I always love the upheaval in my vocabulary when you post and I see all these words in wonderful combinations of which I have never even assumed to think they could be in.

    What is so evocative about your words in this one is the sheer scope and range of the feelings. I find them as razor sharp as the cold Richland Winter winds…

    The ageing through the seasons of your Dreamscape give an even more layered feel to you words than normal – which is saying something). Speaking of seasons, glad to see that the snow storms have finally gotten around to your blog! xxxxxx

    • Oh you know how I love to shake up people’s vocabulary!! It may very well be my mission in life to do so! It makes me exceedingly happy that you have enjoyed the scope of this take on my little Dreamscape…I did wish for something to tie up the year…and the seasons. As always, I am well happy to put words in hitherto unknown combinations. The cold Richland winter winds are indeed….bracing! Haha yes…I’m not sure how the ‘snow’ button got un-ticked in my settings…but I have indeed rectified it! xxxxxx

  2. Another fantastic piece of poetry Christina. I love the Autumn/Winter tale here, leaving it open to answers that can only be told in the Spring and the Summer.

      • You’re welcome and thank you 🙂 I must admit to being a bit more nervous about tomorrow’s launch than I was about my own one in April last year.

        It would be great to see some of your talent in them when you find the time. Finding time can be a little problematic though, I know it tends to keep itself very well hidden 😉

        So far 2014 is looking to be much better than the year we just left behind.

        I hope you had a fabulous time with your friend across the pond and that 2014 finds you at peace. 🙂

  11. I enjoyed to unravel the different layers here as they lead us to the core of your poem .

    As time flows poetic images follow your pathways.

    “Crystal clarity colors perfection…Kaleidoscope”
    “Undertones of unknown filling the space between”
    “Phantoms of Nostalgia”…”Silently demanding detours”

    I am blown away by your metaphors as your poetry dazzle me, provided as it by its own essential and genuine shape…

    So nice to came across your poems today; Christina. Thank you, xo;
