The disappearing twilight, Darkens the horizon I scan the skies In quest of The North Star, A jewel of the night.
The Polaris, at same spot, I find you growing in twinkle, As the negritude of night falls, You are a beacon To my forlorn, lost soul Rudderless and lifeless listing.
Your steadfast position, Navigates all the lonely Wobbling lives On the swelling ocean Of life, with all thy Brightness, luminosity.
In the quietness Of the raging waves, All around us, You envelope me Within the quilt of Memories and deep conversations.
The sweet chuckle of her voice, Whispers deeply into the ears, Provokingly the moonlit face Beckons , almost a plea To hold in embrace, To seek lifelong fealty.
The Moon filled with envy, Watches us in jealousy Of the spirit of love, Commitment and bonding, It hides behind clouds, momentarily, And then peeps from behind, to steal Some of the blazing flames of love.
As we remain locked Away in conversation Of this, that, the other, The fleeting time Signals the end is nigh, Of today's rendezvous.
The North Star begins to fade, Unwillingly it deposits us both, To the custody of the Morning Star, Venus, stands now the brightest, While the rest of stars begin to fade In absolute respect to The Majestic Sun.
I implore upon the night to stay, I exclaim to the Sun to hold back, It's rising splendour, Filled with fear of losing The chance of one more Lifelong hug, my soul numbs.
The glowing brightness, Grows as dawn appears closer, Venus, at its zenith, Succumbs to the glory Of the eastern sky's illumination, And fades away, for a night again….
The richness of my thoughts Were poor only to her worldly wealth, opulence prosperity. Abundance of fealty Made her arrogant, We bid farewell.
