Premium Member Waving At October

Waving at October...!
welcome the rain,
watching leaves flying to die.
Between colours and cold,
new changes to breath

To Recollect

Burn in the cool sun,
Be a friend of the old moon
to recollect love

Those Who Give

Those of us who give nothing
  ask everything…

8th of October

No sunlight today
Naught but a cloud
No bliss this day
On this day of October
The day you were born
Oh, somber Tuesday
