A Kitchen Poem

Sauted by ambitions

Marinated in dreams

Slow cooked by experience 

Spiced up by hope

Cut and dried at times

Chopped and churned often

Bleached and blanched

Fried on high flame of expectations 

Baked sometimes over baked

Grilled and microwaved

I have lived life on my own terms that's for sure

October

With October came the season 

Of unexpected rain and fusion

Of autumnal wind and vision

Of a winter not far away

With October came the festives

Of togetherness and missives

Of love and the will to forgive

Endurance and give aways

With October came the sun

A bit mellowed but really fun

A little chilly a little warm

But surely longer to stay

With October drifted the leaves

From green to yellowed mischiefs

No it's not one of my pet peeves

Its October be mild you may

With October the blooms still

Blossom and birds trill

Chirpy and noisy as hell

Making a ruckus in my balcony 

With October there's the spirit

Of going and bringing with it

Wistful memories

Of a long gone past faraway

With October came goodbyes

To summer and rains' cry

And balms to heal and how!

October linger longer I pray
