Oh! how gracefully the trees, flaunting splendor lilt
Swaying autumn’s palettes in rhythms of winds ruby
As the sun is setting, flaming glow of gamboge skies
Amber breeze is blushing rosy glimmer of eventide
And robins are excavating pecking on decaying lawn
Where ducks are ambling, ogling seductive bond
Amid people strolling, pausing to gaze at opaline arc
Floating crimson filaments on tinted purple canvas
Enhanced by falling colors whirling mellowed vibes
In twilight’s golden ambiance alluring romantic eyes
Gleam of eve’s fading, ceding reign to peeking moon
As scent of you appeals, quiescently enveloping me
Enchanting where I sit, under twinkling stellar magic
Enticed by euphony of mockingbird’s sensuous song
Articulating for me eloquently, love is never too far
When autumn blazes passions titillating lovers’ hearts

You drifted into my ambience, on a light summers breeze
I'd never seen such perfection, carried with so much ease
We barely interacted, though our eyes may just have met
Quiescently touching my heart, a moment I'll never forget

{He}
Moisture wells from in to out
The sky drapes its dress
Quiescently, you tilt your head and pout
Your shoulder kisses a tiny tress
Vapor is breathed on the glass
A tantalizing blaze flaring from behind
Fumbling your hair into a clump of morass
Skintight, our souls entwined
As we sublime seconds quicker than a blink
your heart throbs, I flutter
and let out a soft whine in sync
I remember you like the taste of butter
{She}
An icy hot bath melts
our raw hearts transpire
roses are planted all over your svelte
body as my undying desire
Gases gushes out from my pore
as we boil ourselves a temperature too high
my teeth still sizzle and I am ready to roar
hereby you lean in and charge my oversupply
Maybe I need a cup of water
to dilute the enkindled fire,
or else a lamb to the slaughter
could be me stuck with a liar

The mind…The brain…
No more than pale grey paste
Snuggly enclosed within
Thin calcium case
Afloat…Adrift
In cerebral sea
Sentient jelly essence
Of both you and me
Able to inform us
Yet n’er given scintilla of light
Of brilliance of Sunshine
And deep, darkness of night
Tis the architect of our reality
Gives shape and substance to our world
Emotions…Dreams…
All things it seems
…while lying quiescently curled…

Looking high at the top of a tree
Leaves glisten dancing in the sun
Seems the rest of them stand shaded
Quiescently as their day is done~
Giant Fichus grows steadily higher
Gaining momentum in the bright sun
Extending branches lingering out
A thick winding trunk of merging fun~
Piling underneath this grand tree
Fallen dead leaves bathe in the sun
Congregating turning to mulch
One more purpose they’re almost done~
Imagining superb life unfair
Comparing life to leaves in the sun
Like the sparkling trees tallest leaves
Position has bearing on every one~
