Notes About The Poem

Nocturnal Reverie

The sultry night dispelled the light warm breeze,
As he snoozed on the hot sand of the beach:
She smiled and giggled, a dance of a tease,
Till she flew up quite far beyond his reach.

          He moaned; desire urged him to fly with her.

Could he zoom towards scintillating stars?
Achieve a love along the milky way,
Add her in his voluminous memoirs?
Search for passion in dark night's misty ray?
Summer silence held him in tangled blur.

I know you don't reply to comments, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed reading this one. Even in a dream, he was afraid to join her. More is the pity.

So he levitated up into the air travelling on the wings of a beautiful reverie, chasing his love ! Even a reverie is half good as a real experience... ! Lovely presentation Victor

Deep and profound, wrapped in the connotation of summer silence of tangled bars, with the splendid metaphors creating the vision crystal clear! Awesome Victor, love the interplay of words and imageries... Silpika
