Seasons of Perception

you turn the sun to grey

as my world descends,

this realm now a vintage movie

coloured by your dark lens

.

winter’s silence chills my soul

as your veil degrades my view,

my wanton wonderland waning

ascribable to you

.

I vehemently refuse your proposition

returning you to source,

as I rise once again into joy

and the loving world that I endorse

.

my curiosity cautiously chooses another

and my world is coloured blue,

never did I see sky and ocean

enhanced by such depths of hue

.

you influence engaging philosophic contemplation

loud thoughts intertwine,

what sights do others behold

is their azure, as mine?

.

victorious vivacious vibrancy shared

of course you desire us to marry,

but your variable curtain of sadness

I no longer wish to carry

.

the zenith of your allure has peaked

your shroud has run its course,

although the many insights it bestowed

has me questioning this divorce

.

my conscience oppressed by insecurity

until the day I met you, Rose

and beheld the heavenly heartfelt harmonies

that your portal helped expose

.

illuminating realities canvas

as an eternal dawn,

comforting my heart

as I willingly become your pawn

.

materialised mask of manipulated joy

almost powerless to resist,

yet poison still invades my mind

and your pink canvas insufficient to assist

.

all that I once admired

becomes painful monotony,

your limitations irritate

as I rebel against resultant conformity

.

all beginning with one timely twisted thought

perhaps there is more

was that poison, or medicine?

regardless, I cannot ignore

.

contemplating, fixating, hesitating

I left Rose, to pursue

this deep longing for autumn

that led me to you

.

attracted by your charming chestnut cloak

and exuding magnetism

I promise myself to you always

hypnotised within your prism

.

you light every season with ethereal glow

comforting shaded days

with exuberant warmth

entirety now draped in golden haze

.

kindred kaleidoscope kisses

and my perception forever changed by you

our love will last the test of time

oh, sunglasses of golden hue
