After her nightfall,
my morning arise...
temptation stands tall,
what grace did decries!
I couldn't resist-
the urge, wishes surge.
what morning insist,
rapidly emerge...
My heartbeats' workout,
roam her open street,
through mindful tryout:
tagged "cool deceit"
Her smiles display wit ,
romancing regret...
avoidable hit*
catch up what pains fret.
After my nightfall,
will her morning rise?
from what tears befall...
and give due surprise!
I was once intelligent with much doubt;
A boy between norm and custom's devout.
Now, a confident grown man
With less intelligent plan,
Making a fool of himself cum tryout...
Autumn's Arrival
Leaves radiate vivid colors beautifying elms mesmerizing dubious eyes
Seized out of wooden closets woolen sweaters and scarfs would suffice
Warm breezes bade goodbye to an impending avalanche of glacial chill
Nights endure longer as stars paint panoramic scenes in silken vermeil
Stoking tinder in campfires country bumpkins imbibe whiskey and rum
Driver sporting Victorian gear embark on a horse and buggy tryout run
City dwellers undermine tourists upending stores plowing for a bargain
Autumn awaiting raindrops summon the skies to rain upon a mountain
