Currents
-----------
The fallen leaves swirled along the road tonight.
On the headlight beam
orange leaves and yellow -
the swirl of fall colors.
The trees were ghosts,
the moon too distant for consolation.
If I sped no cop would stop me,
but the dizzying whirl
of remembered currents
would be ticket enough.
Fall is for lovers;
the turning colors, the easy wind,
the roadside rendezvous at dark hours,
the hickory yellows and the sugar maple reds...
Last fall the leaves were brighter.
The sun warmer, and in your company
I was indifferent to winter's possiblity.
I shivered in passion, in colorful pleasure.
A simple swirl of yellow -
And what currents it whirs in me!

Nice poem mg. And sorry for coming lonely winter of this year.
another triumph from mindgames! it's always great to read your poems and i hope you'll be sharing more soon! seems like it had been awhile....
Inactivity
------------
I always answer in affirmative
to my friends' invitations.
I never delay for cheap excitements.
In short notice, I am ready for action.
Mostly sluggish inanities.
But to my calling
my response is arbitrary,
lacking in resolve.
Today is cold,
tomorrow's warmth holds higher promise.

Good to see you back mindgames !

Currents!
Of Bogus Bliss
They swirl,
Halt on its way..
Life might be through!
Currents that brews, the scars it jump ships
Lightening comes like truth or lie,
Try to hide from the thunder of anger,
Rain comes down, loose hope
Like the fog you start to fade
Lend me a mirror.
I will look upon fiasco left behind.
Awesome MG, Keep it coming
Ashley!
