Autumn Leaves

It's time she said ...

Many a seasons we've spent;

But I have to leave now ...

I'll be a lingering memory till the end.

He tried clinging on

For the sake of another day;

Reliving all those beautiful moments

Holding on till he could, yesterday and today.

Then with a slight jolt,

She freed herself from him...

Till we meet again, she said

Probably, when the flowers bloom next spring.

The sky was turning grey

And the clouds were casting shadows.

A gentle, cool breeze swept her yonder

Away from her love who was left to ponder.

The sun gently gleamed

Over the horizon far, far away;

The skies soon were streaks of pink

As she rode on the tame zephyr.

Till finally the gust dropped her by my window

I lay my eyes on her and picked her up tenderly

Scarlet red with streaks of green was she

Bringing in October, the first signs of autumn glee.

Love or Heartache?

Pit in the stomach, short of breath;

The malaise and a brow of fret.

A beating heart, hands that shake;

Random shivers and a dull headache.

A tremble of hope, unsteady knees;

Quivering lips and brains in deep-freeze! 

Sinking emotions, unstopping tears;

Choked windpipes, and myriad fears.

Disoriented, disillusioned, hopeless and unawake,

'Falling in love' or was that just 'heartache'? 

Similar feelings, dissimilar situations;

Warrant comparable and kindred actions.

I wonder if it's the same coin with two aspects

Or just a perspective for one to dissect! 

The Untimely Seattle Rain

Heavy leaves due to the water's drip

Soggy wet is the land

The city wears a blanket of grey

Where did the sun go, I don't understand.

The clouds on the mountains prey

Daylight appears very dim

The rain comes down singing a tune

The wind roars on its whim

The window panes look washed out

Puddles form everywhere

The cold rattles my bones and teeth

Rain in June, is this really fair? 

I crave for the yellow, summer sun

To bask in its comforting glory

The brilliant sun does peek out sometimes

But that's another story!
