Love Under the Inca Sky !

While writing about Machu Picchu the lost city of the INCAS , I thought about composing this 
poem ! The INCAS around 1100 AD , worshipped the Sun and lived very close to Nature . In 
this poem an Inca youth remembers his love with great fondness !

   LOVE UNDER THE INCA SKY !

When I planted a kiss on you cherry lips ,
Those tender lips so innocent and pure ;
Between the tall bushes and slender trees ,
Gaining strenght to live and endure !
With your black lock's cascading flow ,
And your beauty all shining bright ;
When you anxiosly looked back to see ,
And hurried back with steps so light !

At night under the starry sky I think of
you as my guiding star !
Wth your laughter like the merry mountain
stream ,
You seem so near and yet so far !
I retire to bed with your happy thoughts ,
And think of the goodness of your heart ;
Of kissing you behind those bushes once
more ,
When our lips will lock never to part !
                                          - Raj Nandy
