The pale moon emerged languidly from dark gloomy clouds, melancholy hovering listlessly around me, My spirit was low, my heart felt barren empty, in the solitude of dusk, I was looking for thee. life did not feel gleefully blissful, my solo journey did not sense like a pleasant symphony forlorn heart cried in pain… with ardent longing for you, bleak feelings ached with yearning for your warm company. The moon has emerged gently, it shouldn't be much longer you will return…embrace with your soothing presence, softly hold my hand, Darling…clouds have disappeared, kaleidoscopic sky radiates iridescence.

Ah, dearest Mala, the tender yet vivid romantic beauty of your poem sweeps me up and away to where the "kaleidoscopic sky radiates iridescence" - such a grand finale to a poem of exquisite imagery and soulful emotions. A gem that sparkles with the allure of your artistry. Congratulations for your excellent win in Joseph's contest. Warmest wishes, love and hugs, my sweet friend.. ~Susan

Dearest Susan, I am going to apologize to you first for being late in replying your inspiring comment. I was not well for a few days, and had to stay away from laptop, although that's the hardest thing for me. I feel so honoured with your uplifting comment - feel truly delighted to find you were reading my humble efforts. Every single day, I am learning from gifted poets like you, and every time I read your work, feel mesmerized, and wish I had a magical quill like yours. Love and hugs, My Dearest Friend, stay well and continue to write your glorious poetry ~ Mala

When heart is drowned in melancholy on sullen nights, seeing the moon emerging from the clouds lifts our moods. Mala, your poems always abound in certain arresting images. Enjoyed reading your lovely entry for the contest! All the best. My soupmail always shows wrong notifications. So I hardly check it. However I shall soupmail you...
