A meadow for Autumn

Forest, I lay me down to rest
upon bed of moss.
 
Eternal sleep immediately overtakes me 
lichen kenning myself

Sparks of golden quarks
Amazing particles of heart
Pyrotechnic shower
Too fine 
Almost from cloud nine
Rise from the articulation-flood
In the fulfilled flow of fascinated blood
As effusive praise in Aha and Wows
The moment a poet finished an Urdu shayari...

When autumn sunset bid bitter farewells to the lone star
Three black liana lassies trudging homeward swayed...

Colored lights may hypnotize
and sparkle someone else's eyes
now, woman

your words

glitter like you've been drinking glitterade from devilish
dixie cups' alchemy secreting formulas outshining

kaleidoscopic critters glitter...

Recalling the past in quiet reflection
A cold dark void of neither here nor there
With beauty nonetheless
As black pervades this month of loss

It was near midnight
Away from the maddening and argus eyes of the people  
They found their love nest
Behind the rocky ...

Welcome of The Palms Ovation

Cold sharp dawn
Of chrome lit silver
Dusty summer heat no more
Clean polished sun
Risen in perfect sea of azure skies

The lines of palms
Are twinkling suffused natures decorative
Flimsy delicate tips
Of fronds caught dancing
Shimmer and...

Pyrotechnic flowers seen way up high 

Fireworks will light up the dark evening sky
I gaze at...

It’s that time once a year, the Fourth of July.
We will see those pyrotechnic demonstrations in the sky.
