Longing

Midnight moon - dazzling... lonely
                                   Innumerable stars blinking
                                                      
                                             Eyes tearful,
                                              Clock ticks,
                                             Heart bleeds.

                        Cherry blossoms flowering with white splendour...
                              Sublime sight soothes a forlorn heart..
                                     will be bare in a few days,
                                 Days will pass, months will pass,
                                         And I will not see you.

                         my heart aches with an unquenchable longing
                                           for a glimpse of you,
        for those days... watched the shimmering treetops glistening with silvery    snowflakes,
     the day... got drenched with pouring rain and splashes from the sapphire waterfalls,
           on a boat almost overflowing ... still wished our journey never to end,
           the day... gazed at the gossamer melting rays of the crimson twilight,
               felt the flavour of a lavender passionate yearning for each other.

                                                    Stars blink,
                                                    Clock ticks,
                 Doting sleep whispers a cascade of love gently on my eyes.
