September Sun

September sun

Reaching through multiple obstacles
Of pine needles unkempt eucalyptus foliage
And green oleander blades
Morning Sun touches my face in tender warmth

He brushes my cheeks and forehead
Lights my throat in a soft glow
Ignoring the whole world
In blue shade around me

Starlight touches stardust
Gently strumming the soul
In a golden beam
Through the amber screen of my lids

He cannot linger with me
Over a cup of coffee
He must move
And so I watch him play

With glossy leaves and purple bougainvillea
Draw arabesques of evaporation
And throw stars and sparkles on the flagstones
In the gift and optimism of a new day

purple bougainvillea
