My Dying PlantsA casual walk today in mid-July
past daisies in my garden fading fast--
as Birds of Paradise seen fading, too.

Pushing up across every green lawn
Unashamed, just like Lady Godiva

My Now is Just Your ThenAs the clocks creep,

in-comingSomething’s happening, let’s call it sunrise, for now,
and summer vacation in Geneva, in umm.. 10 hours.

The Life AcrosticLasting in summer's gleam, my childhood's delight.
In autumn's hug, I seek insight.

The Life-Giving DownpourThe sun, a tyrant, reigns with scorching might,
Days bleed together, a suffocating night.
My soul parched, I yearned for a cleansing rain,
