On this horizonI have heard of a horizon
where the violet sky reaches to the rivers,
and the owl's call
sways with the winds.
The forest whistles as it
exhales, and
the pebbles pit-pat
as they tumble into the soils.
The water sings like a lullaby,
laced with bubbles
floating from under the rocks,
and the scent of the wildflowers
tickles the breeze to sweep
over the fields,
caressing their faces until sunrise.

I wandered along these wildflower fields,
but thistles gripped my thighs
and nettles nicked my neck.
I ran to the rolling streams
but rapids met my rubber boots,
spitting at me with
splashes of silt,
decaying in the river's d

Lady AutumnDressed in robes of warm crimson,
golden trim down the sides,
she had eyes of liquid amber,
and bronze skin that gleamed
in the sunshine.

I noticed her lips,
stained deep as red wine,
and her long scarlet braids.
Even her fragrance:
candied apples,
wood smoke,
maybe a hint of orange rind.

The wind chilled as she traveled,
leaves twirled and fell
to her will,
and my cheeks blushed red
as her presence
grazed the window sill;
I thought of flaming red hearths and
freshly baked bread,
reminding me of a girl
I once knew,
her smile twinkling in my head.

EnticementThe ground singes my knees
as snow dances
over your
glassy remains.
You did not wait,
I mutter to the broken figure
bleeding into the crevices
of the concrete.
You tumbled through the air,
an acrobat with no partner to clasp
your outstretched hands as you
fell,
the tips of your fingers,
frostbitten and frantic,
sparkling in the rays of dawn.
You did not wait,
and now this bitter wasteland,
with its glinting eyes,
sits back and collects its prize.

OxygenHave you ever felt
that all the air around you
vanished,
leaving you in panicked gasps as though an
encasement of oxygen supporting
the feebleness of your life suddenly
disappeared.

You're lost,
when you can't breathe. So basic a function,
we simply expect it to
satisfy our primal craving as it floats
harmlessly
through the atmosphere.

Until the air thins,
has had enough of your selfish demands.
You cannot speak,
knowing that your precious air has
slipped away from you like a silk handkerchief
snatched from a lover's grasp.

Your lungs scream in agony.
"Breathe! BREATHE!" They say.

But it's your own damn fault.

thank you! yeah, I really enjoy messing with weird angles, especially with staircases for some reason. They just seem perfect for the task naturally

Great capture. I also look for unusual shapes in architecture. Especially if I can shoot it at a different than usual angle.
