F for Folsom!!!

You were there

far from the bay

You stood as 
the image of my dreams

You lured with 

your greenery and slopes

the curvy roads

the umpteen parks and

cozy neighborhoods

I found love

I read books

I drank wine

I wrote poetry

all in your name

You are the rainbow

of my stained glass class

Of saturdays

mornings and noons

of the dvds at the desi bazar

You were the pink sunsets

of orange and purple hues

that made me jump

out of my car

to stand and get lost

into the darkness of

september nights

You are the foundation

where my career build

You were the long walks

behind

the falls at willow creek

You are the chirping bird

on the creekside drive

Sutter, Bidwell,

Empire Ranch, Riley

each street

I know by heart

Home we thought

you could be to us

But some things they say

are not meant to be

that way

I hear the echoes from
a remnant of my heart
on bright springs,

hot summer days
foggy amber dawns

and crisp winter nights!!
