Earthy
Dry grass sweet scent
Ginger, cassia warm whiffs
Crisp air with the musk of dropped leaves
Fall's prides
PLACE: 6th
A secret admirer sent fresh flowers
Through his good-looking gardener
The girl didn’t really know
That he couldn’t talk so
She kissed him with a “yes” answer.
The gardener pointed at the man
Waiting at the picnic grove’s stand
Making signs of his waiting
She said, "We’re coming!"
Sprang with joy as she held his hand.
While spring in air was gifting joy to the three
On a green grass under the Cassia Fistula Tree
The gardener played his flute
After the revelation of the truth
Then ran away when they saw the bee-colony.

Driven by courage and inherent strength;
Dream of worlds vanish, transcending forward.
Wonder-less towards the horizon length,
Vagrant clouds sail with the wind's breath northward.
Dream of worlds vanish, transcending forward
Desert path, mountain valleys enraptured.
Vagrant clouds sail with the wind's breath northward
Between O-Cassia trees and recaptured.
Desert path, mountain valleys enraptured,
Fumbling golden flowers on the branches,
Between O-Cassia trees, and recaptured
Outstretched towards sway of shining patches.
Fumbling golden flowers on the branches
Wonder-less towards the horizon length,
Outstretched towards sway of shining patches
Driven by courage and inherent strength.

Now, historians say the Babylonians invented soap in 2800 B.C.E
Water, alkali and cassia oil ~ formula of hope in the 21st century
Without the means to take us there, we spread our wings..
Amid imagination and shall one fail as fly ? Revisiting days gone by
A young teen sitting at her mall; tainted, still far from polluted be they yet
Their heart but even more so it's flesh ? Spreading this cloak covering, life's darkness
Servants of sin slaves, claimed in carnal and whom is free ? Fashioned love's platter
Where from we feast ? His children stepping through time to now bind, reasons...
Atop her bench while beauty she passes within, such glorious light ? Nineteen seventy-five.
The flame of the forests blushing
In the dewy cool of the morning air.
Peach blossoms hearken spring’s arrival.
Comes summer, Amaltas golden bells ringing.
Forget me not, Magnolia’s lover.
Yesterday today tomorrow’s, bloom.
Together with the clouds, lightening
Thunder, eating away the blue skies.
O! Maulsari, it is you,
In your full grown majesty,
Bestowing those white star
Aromas, on my wee little world.
Chorosia, You naked white barked Mexican.
Have you no fear of winter charmers?
The fascinating ornaments you throw up,
Will wither as seasons change.
Alas , the birds have flown away.
The crusty leaves flutter in silence.
Masquerading Sarus, standing in defiance.
Waiting the deep winter calls.
Lord ! let me hibernate, till,
The springs bloom again.
