The fiery eyes of red
have naught to do
with the cold, slippery purposes of
purple.
Of the grey ice that chases the golden
leaves, only one survives.
And it is neither to sun nor moon.
Neither the man nor woman.
Neither the mountain not forest.
Neither to hands nor teeth.
It is only the flower.
it is only the joy.

This is one of the poems I wrote for an EA project I called "The Poetry Project". The purpose was to write at least one poem every day for a year.
