Splendor of the Fall
Tiny boats floating lively –
In the silent pool
A sad fallen leaf
Aware that life is finite –
Curbs her soaring self
Autumn Equinox
Leaves shudder under the breeze –
Embracing the change
Autumn leaves
From green to amber red –
Waiting to fall
Many thanks for your visit,my dear friends!

Par excellence , a major travel destination,
Frankfurt entices the biggest books celebration;
The content literary oriented will find displayed,
Poetry,classics,horror on shelves neatly
arranged;
My flight on British Airways was booked,
A voracious bookworm was hooked;
I have to make it to Frankfurt Buchmesse;
I hazily jump out of bed, rush … rush,
The alarm of my IPhone rings too late,
I am in the kitchen sipping hot chocolate,
Half asleep in my pyjamas, on the toilet seat,
I compose and send an illustrated tweet;
Shampoo and body wash under the hot shower,
Up the stairs I climb to switch off the timer;
So many little but significant things to remember,
When leaving home deserted,mid- October;
A brand new fire linen, voile, white shirt,
A stylish,pleated black cotton skirt;
Colorful leg warmers and thermal socks,
Ouch! the thermal pants pinch my buttocks;
I have radiant, energetic, youthful looks,
I am totally and absolutely obsessed with books;
Trendy in knee high, leather boots,
Matching jacket and a satchel of books;
I drive with zeal to Heathrow Terminal 5,
My mind set on catching the early morning flight.

On a fleeting mystic night
In the sleepy waters of the sea
I behold a stunning yakamoz
Alluring ripples of silver and light blue floating
Bewitched by the sight
I drown myself in her beguiling soul
Anita Bacha
‘Yakamoz’ is a Japanese word meaning the reflection of the moon on the surface of water, it can be a lake,a river or the sea or any other expanse of water.
I have just learned this word.It strikes me by its beauty.
Stay with me
Stay with me as flushes of pink
Stain the petals of the rose
Stay with me as the light
Hovers over the burning wick
Stay with me as the wine
Imbues my breath and thine
Stay with me as the moon
Smiles in the dark night

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends.
Echo of cuckoo’s song
In the deep stardust valleys
Electric colors
Dawn breaks fawning reverence
Sunset’s docile somnolence
Anita Bacha
Of your tree so mighty,
I am a leaf so green and tiny;
Neither an apple nor a fig,
I hold on to a twig;
In winter I shiver and I freeze,
In summer I sway in the breeze;
Drenched in torrential rain,
I cry in grief and in pain;
Scalded in the burning sun,
I shrivel and I shun;
A creeper I long to mime,
My arms enlacing you;
Heavenly heights to climb,
My soul enrobing you.

Thank you for your visit my dear friends.
You will find the above and many such poems in my book ‘Soul Poetry’ published by Partridge in 2015 , distributed worldwide by Amazon & Barnes and Noble .
On the quay of farewell
In a covetous embrace
You gave me your heart
On the quay of farewell
You wiped my tears with your lips
You offered me your eyes
On the quay of farewell
You spoke to me about your suffering
You wanted my mouth to feel your fading breath
On the quay of farewell
You wanted me to remember your desires
Your thirst and your hunger insatiate
On the quay of farewell
You fumbled for the tenderness and sweetness that are in me
That you will never find in another
On the quay of farewell
You hugged me tight in your arms
You wanted to keep me forever
On the quay of farewell
Heavy as a winter coat
The separation bent you into two
And you shouted my name
Anita Bacha
Thank you for viewing and reading my dear friends

If I were a flower,
If I were a flower for the joy of being a flower,
A leaf for being a leaf,
If I were a stem,
If I were a leaf and a stem to dress up a flower,
If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,
If I were all sleek and purple petals,
Petals to cover the nudity of a flower,
If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,
If I were the eyelids for the delight of being the eyelids,
The lashes for being the lashes,
If I were the eyes,
If I were the eyelids and the lashes to cover your eyes,
If I were a tear,
A tear running down a cheek,
A tear that loses itself in the lips,
If I were the lips that caress a flower,
If I were the lips and you were a flower…

Morning frozen sun
Winter cherry blossom trees
Wrapped up in snow coats.
