Moonlight

Shower Thee!Thy wealth,
to the greens that are black,
illuminating them,
heralding rejoice amidst dark.

Oh!rotund illusion,
how can I limn thy brilliance
through pen,for it
may disgrace Thy charm.

Maidens wake to sip the 
sweetness of Thy milky nectar,
their eyes, fixed on Thee,
scoff the scorching Sun.

Thy short life,too transient,
engraves an eternal impression
deep in mind's obscure depths,
like a cascade of enamouring milk.

Thee,the solitary sailor,
plunge back to the horizon-
leaving a drop of tear in the eyes
and poignance in the heart.
