Sweetheart of Delight

==================

Oh my sweetheart of delight,

love you truly day and night.

The day I first met you,

brokenhearted I found a nest, new.

You embraced me with your loving eyes.

You let me free back again to the skies.

You lifted my soul very softly

and adored me so very deeply.

I am moved by your slender attitude.

I offer you my love and gratitude.

Promise me not to break my heart.

From me you will never be apart!

The Yellow Moon

===============

Last night I saw the moon beautifully

curved by an expert artist, unknown.

The yellow of the moon reminded me

of a canary bird sitting on a blue-stone.

Next to the moon shines an orphan star,

longing to touch her beauty, yellow.

The distance could not keep them apart

as there exists a bridge within the hollow.

Soul Ecstasy

=================

Night is creeping in as

I look from a meadow.

Trees are whispering with

the breeze in the dark.

The distant sky goes

to deep meditation.

All quiet in the Earth!

The moon is the only

source of light and purity.

I see no trace of any mark

on her as she shines gloriously.

I along with the sky get dissolved

in this auspicious solitary moment.....

A harmonic soul ecstasy!!

The Evening Sky

===================

The sky has turned to orange

in this beautiful sunset evening,

The sun is encircled by a yellow ring,

a rare and eye-soothing scene.

The darkness captures the valley

hiding all the traces of scars,

A tree standing on the meadow

prepares herself to write a memoir.

She spreads out her branches

towards the distant orange sky.

This momentum dissolves me

in a drunken hypnosis as I pass by.
