October Sun

Ascending above sanctum of horizon, a dawn inflames the effulgent rays,
Enlightening daybreak as embers of light set the scarlet morning ablaze
Projecting golden beams on hushed venues, in beatific style, not seen in a while,
Glittering on grass in vivid dewdrops, glinting ornamental autumnal smile.

Riding the path of shortened days, marigold passions eloquently evoke
Enchanting colors of resplendent meadows--sensuous vibes tenderly stoke
When traversing upon a vibrant blue-arc, solar-noon invokes seasons warm
Where cumulus clouds stroll the meridian, amid nary a sign of rainy storm.

Seeking affinity of ruby dusk, a spectrum inscribes on gilded evening skies
Iridescent emotions in colors of romance, pleasing desires of amorous eyes
As falling leaves waltz, in leisurely dance, attuned to song of sunset breeze
Descending slowly with vanishing sun, in forlorn shudders of barren trees.

Vijay, I took a moment to go back a couple of years or so. Amazing that poetry can transport me to a different time of the year. This is very pleasant to read and reflects your generous and kind view of the world.

Vijay, Mystic Rose' calm voice pouring over your poem's words. Like the gentlest rain to wash over a soul on a Sunday. 'falling leaves waltz, in leisurely dance, attuned to song of sunset breeze' Very nice, this October Sun. Glad it decided not to pass me by. -Richard

Wow, this is a gem Vijay, this write screams talent, creativity and a vivid imagination - I simply love it and had to fav. it. We are in our new home, and back on soup after my 2 week absence - a hectic, emotional move - I discovered more of my Grandfather's poems in one of my mothers cupboards, - I was ecstatic!

I think I just fell in love with colors all over again; outstanding imagery and a moving poem that is sprinkled with lovely adoring light; or maybe that's just how it made my insides feel. I see it made POTD - congrats on that. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Vivid vocabulary musical reading. Congratulations! I couldn't get the music, though I went to your home page. Something wrong with my goofy computer, I guess.
