Tahera Mannan Poet Free verse

Apsara

I live in the heavenly realm of the Gods
I dance on the soft shining moon
My eternal beauty shines enticingly
From my eyes so very blue...
Like a sweet angel caressing the gentle breeze
Streaking the water silver
I am the best of dark and night
That meets within my arms
The stars that dwell in my hair
Groups like violet flowers
I am a visitor from distant land
Hidden, secluded and forbidden
To this place between two worlds
Abundant with tireless beauty
My hand plays music with ripples
As I view myself amid the soft moonlight beams
That touches my soft skin and dewy wings
The solitude of this mystic haven
Burning with incense as flowers kiss
Wind creates sweet magic 
As it touches my fragrant tresses 
The lotus buds open wide
As my name is mentioned
Receiving my divine beauty
The Gods from above watch
Divinity taking form
I gently kiss my reflection
Melting into the dark

*Apsara-A Hindu Nymph with magical powers

__ Tahera Mannan
For Constance’s ‘Reflection’ contest.
