October Is Coming
October is coming
Maybe sooner than expected
Children are getting their costumes
Parents are getting candy
And Dad is eating half of it
Pumpkin spice will be long gone
Pumpkin pie will be the new thing
For those of you old enough to remember
Maybe Snoopy will find his target
And the Great Pumpkin will rise again
So will the dead and their spirits
Led into

Long Winter Coming
I see a long winter coming
(yes, I know)
the dull gray spreads ahead of me,
there ain’t no use in running
(if I could)
from yourself you can never flee.
There’s a long winter coming
(how’d I know)
you’d take it to such an extreme,
thought that we were something,
(yes, you did)
when to ‘benefits’ we agreed.
…Oh, the lies we tell,
to fake peace with

What Coming?
What Coming?
I can’t believe this world. Everything has changed. Why?
Just bad news from every media. Wars, catastrophes, death.
Unbelievable, the people. They don’t care about the negative things.
They live in their happy weekdays. Blindness is the ruler.
Day to day, week to week, more and more, the horror from the news.
People can stop everything. Only together.

Fall is Coming
Brisk falling temperature
Blue sky turning into a soothing gray
Hinting of Winter snowflakes
Shorter days with early nightfall
Spring bulbs hibernate in the cooling soil
Birds gathering in pine trees at night for warmth
Searching for bird feeders during the day
Leaves falling creating a multi color carpet on the ground below
Fireplaces scenting the outside air with a sweet smokey smell
Attention

It’s coming
Soon you’ll know.
The truth will be laid bare.
Soon you’ll realise.
It’s worthless to worry, to feel or care.
Soon you’ll see.
The reality of the animal man.
Soon you’ll know.
What you’ve known many times before.
Soon you’ll see.
The sun and moon no more.
Soon you’ll feel.
Alien to human hands.
Soon you’ll be.
Dust upon the land.

Fall is Coming - TSF
Days are
fading
leaves fall
orange
yellow

and red !
They fly
and twirl
swirl and
whirl then
they rest
then dance
wings spread !
The wind
is cool
the clouds

and rain
kisses
with love !
The air
grows cold

is here
snowflakes
fall from
above !

Coming Home 2025
After year and a half, my son and his wife,
Came from East coast to visit me on the west coast,
I was so happy, I remembered my early days,
When I visited my parents in India from USA after 2 years.
In old days, the monthly postal aerogramme was the only messenger,
Every letter conveyed the good wishes and

Blizzard Is Coming
Blizzard is coming
Hailstorm is drumming
How we longed to be wetter.
We’ve been in a drought
We prayed the calm out
Now comes turbulent weather.
Batten the hatches
Prepare the caches
White rage threatens

Growing up to fast and coming of age
Growing up to fast,
Coming of age.
Both about maturity but different
One witnessed something they were not supposed to see, while the other saw when ready
One forced to be a man, the other gradually becoming a man
One having a parent who would mentally abuse, while the other has two amazing parents
One having to work hard

Long time Coming
Sunbreaks pierce the clouds of gray,
Genuine happiness finds its way,
After shadows stretched like endless night,
Light spills in, and my heart takes flight.
For so long, joy was a distant hum,
Lost in sorrow's weight, in darkness numb,
But now a warmth begins to seep,
Through cracks in walls where pain did creep.
Smiles feel foreign, yet welcoming like they belong,
Like

Combing And Coming -
Noise and surf
blown over,
I remember
Shade of flowers,
they look very mismatched
in my corner here
These city streets
ebb and flow like the sea,
let me
A close shave
of thighs,
my window's je t'aime
I must have walked out —
my nose choked
~with the rain~
Seconds pause.
please remember
the seconds of flowers.

The Second Coming,Delayed
The ass on high protein diet
Thinks he can really fight the beast
The beast has lost his instincts and
He is struggling to just live
The genius is being mocked
Mediocrity is being preserved
Monk is yelling abuses
The preacher is moaning in the jail
The poet prophecied of "second coming"
I can just cry for him

The Coming Bloom
A seed is planted, a stem breaks forth
Leaves appear and buds grow north.
In time a blossom begins to form
Until a beautiful flower is born.
We celebrate the magnanimous bloom
Forgetting the seasons from seed to tomb
Know times of trial, built the bouquet
The perianth and the vibrant display.
If your season is barren, missing God’s presence
He is pruning and
