Magnolia Pages

by Maple Tree   Oct 17, 2016


To be a fly upon a petal of pages-

As dusk turns into nightfall shadows
my yearning for new beginnings has arrived.

Veins of such elegance has been ignored
by dusting of yellow wording, sounds of repetition.

Ivy lingers along a spine that was once broken
for man, refused to read the stanzas of a dying flower.

Ravens echo promises from lips of wine, kisses of death
as early ages bare circled, wrinkled tear stains.

I have become a spiraling staircase of Magnolia's
the end of my poem, becomes a new chapter;

Of whom I've yet to be....
