Early Bloom

Slowpoet

In the early bloom
The palette of the spring
Resembled shades of you -
You were incandescent;
The southern light revealing your most golden hues.
I'm just a slow poetic beast
That pondered too long
On nervous words that shouldn't have crossed my tongue
Whilst new life breathed through you in song.

I was in a daze;
Thought giving in would clear the air of idle haze.
Weathered of the winter,
The darkness slept beside me and unhinged my gaze.
The earth beneath my feet
Was frozen so long,
I lost the warmth that had kept me strong -
Whilst new life breathed through you in song.

Thieving from their neighbours
In the late autumnal swell,
The harem is for the heavyweights
With scars on their lapels.
Too early for the taste of blood
But lips have split before -
Martyred in the mire and mud,
They put the other to the sword.
Unsettled by his spider legs;
There's murder on these shores.
The calm gestates in cannibalism
And natures wily wars.
Keep motioning upriver
To the spawning grounds retreat.
The weakest lose their underbelly
If there's nothing else to eat.
Accompany the ptarmigan,
Be tender to their needs;
Show generous love
With bundles of buds,
And leaves, and flowers, and seeds.
