Samha Askar Poet Free verse

Girl with Peacock Feather Eyes

Girl with Peacock Feather Eyes
gentle upward tilt that cries

You come to me at night 
unaware of my plight

Regality in every look you sigh
my peacock-feathered girl

Lashes that ensnare
A courtship call laid bare

Come forth, Ceylon's pearl 
become my peacock-feathered girl

Imagination comes undone 
You corner me, defenceless with those eyes 

The royal Mughal halls would not compare 
to my mirror in which you stare
 
You are moonlight to my thoughts. Untether me, my dear
These peacock-feathered eyes will keep me here.
