“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner
What the rain does
It washes sky
Lashes leaves at the nodes
Leaving like tears drops on blades
What the rain does
Is empty of clouds
Groaning in thunder
Sparking in lightning
What the rain does
Is tug at the heartstrings
Knowing that the flood
Of tears will not heal only soothe
But life continues
To the auger of the rains
Even if it be forty day or nights
When a sprig in a beak hails
A new form
Then all the moments
Will be lost in time,
Like tears in rain

BIRTHDAYS THAT WAY
Hip hip hurrah, the way birthdays appear
There again and again
Repeatedly like a cheer
Sometimes boisterous some times tame
Come raise a glass, the way birthdays appear
Sneaking in with face lines
And bodies shaped like pear
With streamers and buntings
And friends ever so dear
To eat cake in slices
Circles around the sun, the way birthdays appear

REVISITwild fowl haven,
sunlight slithers over the water.
to browse her weight in hyacinths,
the lazy caiman rolls her eyes,
just above the surface of the water,
munching her greed water fodder,
oblivious to duck ponds and audience stares.
what a sleepy dreamy life.

Hot days await the cooling rains. The sound of pelting raindrops on the rooftop. Season of smoky clouds and flooded streets. We are still waiting for the rain though the Met Office has confirmed the season.
People of long time days didn't look to the Met Office. Every avid Christian marked the Season of Rains with the planting of pigeon peas and corn at Corpus Christi holiday.
today just a tease
raindrops against the windows -
pink ixoras bloom

CLINKING GLASSES
As day progress to clear evening
Moon shoulders her task
Somber night of her to ask
Invisible breezes set to cooling
Contemplative thoughts sober
Elixir of wine glasses at a border
Desire of home with family sharing
Grandpa stories of days gone by
Grand children apple of his eye
Tis not a dream this kind of living
Coin tossed dictates the first
Lose the game is not the worst
As day progress to clear evening
Invisible breezes set to cooling
Desire of home with family sharing
Tis not a dream this kind of living

MESMERISING MORNING
A beautiful day moon
Walk away if you dare
In the coyness of night
Light a scented candle
Should i rephrase this honey
Dew clings to morning leaf sway
