Sunburst Horizon and Moonlit Night
The crimson disc of cold fire afar slowly ascends,
sets the sunk edge of the sunburst horizon ablaze,
as all the cosmic colors the chromatic sky blends,
the sparkle of dew on meadow melts in misty haze.
The crisp northern breeze flutters the fragile canopy,
cleaves channels thru’ the curled foliage for sunbeam,
splashing gold tinsels on leaves rustling on ornate trees,
fringing the fawn vale effulgent in the autumn gleam.
The crystal face of day in azure emptiness shines bright,
dawn to dusk the seamless canvas called sky changes color.
Before the radiance of the day is consumed by the night
I absorb the dregs of the setting sun's sinking grandeur.
The silken tapestry of the black blanket spreads slowly
as twilight dissolves at the fringe of the hazy horizon,
like the timed rainbow melting upon the skyline clouds,
from where the satin darkness flows with the fluid night.
Sonorous sound of silence heralds the silver disc ethereally,
wakes up the sleeping stars one by one to sparkle bright,
the bejeweled crown of sky the amorous ambiance adorns,
as for me moonbeam strands weave lattice of dream of you.
Each night under drizzle of moon dust I wait awake fervently
to see you emerge out of my dream like a seraphic angel,
and walk through the craving garden path of my floral mind,
as I let my thoughts drift in the moonlit night’s mesmeric allure.
