Melt not, mighty sky...

Melt not, O mighty grey sky,
Why do you weep when my eyes are dry?
Heavy are your clouds and so is my heart.
My beloved, he says, he's got to depart.
But, stop not from letting your tears flow,
if you think you could wash away my sorrow...

O lulling night breeze, finger not my tresses.
For, you remind me of my beloved's caresses.
And though my brave little smile is only a facade,
the lingering loneliness is excruciatingly hard.
But, blow on unhindered, if you could perchance,
get me a whiff of his mesmerising fragrance...

Shimmer not, O moon, in the black expanse,
your beauty fails to put me in a trance.
My beloved's presence is all my heart seeks.
Without him, my seconds stretch into weeks.
But, go on to illumine, if it gives you solace,
And spread your light on my beloved's face...

Starlight in my soul...

I'd have called it a chilly night...
but for the warmth of your enfolding arms;
The elusive fragrance of the memories it held,
is still alive with its magical charms.
With the silent, slumbering world below
and the softly glimmering stars above,
together we lay in a blissful embrace,
suspended in time, cocooned in eternal love.

I'd have called it a quiet night...
but for the rythm of your heartbeat in my ears;
gently lulling my mind into a hypnotic trance,
soothing my senses and alluding my fears.
Bathed in a cascade of silver starlight,
with the half-moon winking away in glee.
When the night-breeze flirted with your hair,
the passion in your eyes beckoned to me.

I'd have called it a dark night...
but for the light gleaming in your eyes;
Every passing second held an unknown magic,
until the firdt golden streaks of sunrise.
The meaningof life was never whole enough
until you rendered mine, a new goal.
And now, you are the lodestar of my life,
spreading pure starlight in my soul...
