Beautiful
The silken sheet of falling darkness spreads silently
from the down-turned cauldron of deep emptiness,
shaping the seamless sky in the descending dusk,
shrinking to condense into film of gossamer night.
The woven tapestry of black blanket stretches slowly
from the edge of the horizon flushed by twilight gleam,
fading away with the flotilla of cloud to the far skyline,
from where fluid silver flows in the diaphanous night.
The sound of silence echoes sonorously in the night sky,
the sleeping stars wake up one by one to shine bright
on the bejeweled crown, the sparkling dome adorns,
moonshine makes dream of you for me in amorous night.
In every stardust sprinkled night I wait awake fervently
for you to emerge out of my dream like a beautiful angel,
and walk through the craving corridor of my yearning,
as I am mesmerized by the allure of the beautiful night.
