Autumn Poems

Mist sweeps the garden
Settles like Saharan dust
Gold round the lake's edge....Read More

Exaltation in a lonely shore, 
Lying on the sand where no-one intrudes, 
As the deep-sea battles the waves, 
With music that roars.

The untrodden woods, 
The beauty of what the forest makes 
Amongst the quality of air that emanates from trees,...Read More

The journey of a loving poet

1
My fingers are like the twigs
in the autumn
having the construction of the sadness

2
Sunshine burned my skin,
Loneliness
unwitnessly comes as cancer.

3
Apple is sweet
eroding my teeth
-My silent faith

4
Tequila
basked under the sunshine,
betrayed the fragrance of that girl

5
The stars in...Read More

The pools of water on the pavement gleam
Reflect  the colours  of the   shops and cars
Giving us a feeling all’s serene

As I walk I wander and daydream
I sit on an  old wall,  the moss like...Read More

Dig if you will a zipper
made sure to cum quicker

upon the sleeve cascading need...
leave in the first degree;

capital enhancement
onto its bitter sweet...

thank God I'm alive

in the car we drive...Read More

The holiday has come and gone,
and now we’ve reached the time
for fall décor to pass away,
it yields to tinsels fine.

But all the pumpkins I put out
will have one last hurrah,
it’s time to hurl them in the woods,
while the ground is...Read More

Dear Rosie so sweet, no so clue
Less I long for the day you grow and you bloom
How I wish for your petals to not fall but rise
But you are no fool for my pretty little lies.

I owe you for nothing...Read More

Of an august-like, autumn day:

I kept on walking
Bespoke in dust-coated
Check jacket,
Check pants,
Polo-neck jersey ...
I rambled destinationless:
A la les sapeur - 
The gods,
The directors,
Were focusing on me - 
Me the starring only
As

I kept on walking
In all my sartorial glory, consciously
Deadened unto...Read More

Where gilded autumn dazzles hazy morning
And golden leaves sprinkle on marigold beams
As sparrows dance and hummingbirds sing
Amble in my shadows on blue river’s prairies.

Tell me treacly secrets of whispering winds
Befriending sweet nectar on butterfly wings
When you hear me in lyrics...Read More

All ablaze those summer days,
And such sweet scented flowers!
Glorious gardens and sweet bouquets,
Summer madness in fragrant bowers!

Harvest the grapes and pour red wine;
Whispers of soft, sweet memories...
Burnished autumn days are so fine;
Wild winds scatter love's debris.

Before the sunrise, there was...Read More

Two rails and some broken boards. The train no longer runs through here.
Trees have wrapped themselves around memories of time and the past.
The rails shiny yet old and the boards rotted.
Leaves and the homes of small beings scatter across the...Read More

Healing fast and getting rust
Quickly living & turning to dust
Nothing compares to you just
believe me your truth is a must


Creeping plants know it's cost
How then here are you lost
Nothing compare to  mere rost(Ocean Tides)
believe me your pain is your...Read More

"How do you ease yourself?"
An older man once asked me
in a hotel lobby.
A strange thing to ask a teenager.
Later, on the Thames,
Douglas (a celebrated artistic failure),
drunk-kissed me on the lips.
He was sweeter
than the girl, I came aboard with.
The skinny lodger...Read More

Walking together entwined on garden path
you whispered the tune of autumn breeze.
Your enigmatic smile, the mirage of illusion,
I thought sparkled in my stellar yearning.

The northern wind has now started to blow,
your chilled lips curl like wilted petal of flower.
The diaphanous...Read More

Glowing days that were once red-cheeked and ripe with promise,
Are narrowing like tall candles in a church window,
Tapering from the golden stand and the sturdy base,
To the glorious flame and the ever fading light.
The final birth of dreams that was...Read More

A place where butterflies live
A place which helps me get happy
My own home,my own phone
My wonderful view of a drone
Shinning lights and wondrous piles
You must come along sometime
And greet upon a passing pansy
My Grandfather's wishing valour
A home away from homes!...Read More

Here I send you moonbeam kisses
in between the stars so bright
Floating off in silent wonder
moistened in a dream this night

Tender as a twilight whisper
lingering an autumn sky
Warm as any sunset shimmer
softer than a butterfly

Drifting towards angelic beauty
soaring through the heaven’s...Read More

Could love drift kindly into this fall
As gentle nearing winter’s drifting;
I gaze at your misty muddy workman’s face
Searching, wanting, searching.

Could love fall upon rushing age,
Is there possibility for me
Dare I wish, dare I wish,
Or must intelligence win its way?

Oh, no,...Read More

I am alone today
May your memory be with you
To thirst for life
Come with you

I am alone today
Only you are with me

Don't forget your voice
And your sweet smile
These are the most valuable
Because nowadays
Shop for everyone here

The love is empty
Fill in as...Read More

Autumn Season (Acrostic)

Autumn brings a beautiful season of splendor each year
Unusual beauty of the leaves—their grandeur is so fair
Touching hearts of God’s creation with radiance bright
Urging us on to enjoy such natural beauty and delight
Manifestation of what He has done...Read More

" Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs"
  - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Gold tinged paints dripped from the air,
under the clear opalescent autumn sky
jade foliage turned to full-bloom flower,
I flew my heart like a bird over the canopy.

The canopy...Read More

Storm dusts of end summer dusk disappear,
ginger sky dons the silk attire of blue,
north wind whispers winter footfall is near,
boughs reclined on trees shine in amber hue.

Gold gilded leaves forget they were once green,
from air of fall drizzle blazing colors,
paints...Read More
