A Midnight Love Story

Shimmering rains,

Orbs of light dancing in sight

I wait for you,

drenched in this moonlight

Your hair flickers,

Lighted by love’s sleight;

Now when you are close to me -

My lips quiver,

But my heart’s burning bright

Paper boats of day,

Sleeping with quenched thirsts

For rains have come

To requite the Summer’s lusts

The Peacock sings,

Sings a song of Love

The season has sailed,

And drenched are the season’s dusts

You, a child of the night

Your eyes as radiant

As first rains of moonlight

Your hair springs a million poems

Each strand a stanza unspoken

Each period a pause unsaid

Thus as a token

Of all that remains

Allured by you, and kissed by the rain

I pull you closer,

And kiss you again
