Country roads



Country roads
Leads me past the woods,
Where the evergreen dwell
Of Aita scattered with violets,
Plays back memories where
I spring to capture the azure sky,
And fall to seize the hinterland.

Country roads
Takes me through the asile,
Where the mystic mare hurtle,
Across the medow scented of mist,
Till they catch the glimpse of twilight,
And track their trail back
before the gaze of moonlight

Country roads
Muddy, damp, socked in sludge
Drip by drip, it lash the pines
Weather quiet climbing up the rails
For a minute it's seemed though
But puissant as ever he came through
King of the ether arena

Country roads
Brimful with regret and sorrow
Distance reminiscence of my youths
Where the floret blossoms doze
A tape put on rewind it seems
Memories lingering at every peek
Hometown beckons me with nostalgia, as a dream it feels

Country roads
I tried all things out of my vocabulary, but
I can't find the thing that fits.
Futile to unravel this unknown glory
Bits by bits, piece and fragments
It enhance this wretched reality
Twitten to Boundless dreams

Country roads
Like thoughts the season goes,
I hear the wind, it's love for the sky,
The river of clouds, reflection unveil prosperity
Letters from the distant, treasures I'd call
Calling out to your heart, like silver butterflies

Country roads
Inside this cold world, stuck frozen
For Evermore it hollers my name,
With Steps light as air, twirling around I take,
Ready set go, a step and as the tale you'd know
Like a tiamat that you'll soar,
In the midst of the lovely violet sky

Country roads
Takes me home where I belong,
My neverland ill never know
Timeless stroll on a midday reverie
Where the gentle arms awaits
To clasp me as the fate fumble
In the end it bows down my cheek
Now a memory no longer out of reach

About this poem

Faraway memories along country roads are more than just a mere memory ; they are a treasure for those who choose to cherish them.

Started writing poetry around the age of 13. In addition to being an artist. Love to lay in the plush evergreen and watch the clouds dance. Got a lovely white furry beast as well more…
