Starry Love

The seductive air criss-crossed through my hair Not so cold , yet it sent shivers down my spine It made forget what I was there for Like I was drunk down a bottle of wine. A million stars shone dimly above me The dark night sky looked like a full tilt celebrity The more I gazed the more I fell in love The more I got drawn towards its sparkling beauty. I looked in the direction of the wind The moon tried to grab my attention shining over the mountains The light only blinded me, I closed my eyes For tonight the stars were my only companions. Not a cloud in the sky dared to step in between This place was where I belonged I had searched my entire life for this attraction For long this feeling I have longed. This sweet charade lifted my soul From the misery that laid below I wish I could make people feel what I feel How it turned me around when I felt low. It was more than just the view that got me The aura of the moment seemed so right The dim light of the stars guide me through As I try to immortalize the essence of the night. PRATIK NAYAK
