Notes About The Poem

Placed First in The Silent Kiss Poetry Contest of Constance La France

The Silent Kiss

"A kiss is a silence that says everything there is to say." Guy Maupassant.
**************************************************************
                
                  The Silent Kiss

In the dead stillness of the early morn
When day`s orb is still below the horizon
          When the fading full moon faintly lights the sky
          And the southerly breeze is smooth and shy
Pearly drops of dews in silence kiss the blooms
As the first soft and silent kiss of a bridegroom.

It is a quiet kiss with glows of grace
On velvet petals as on a silken face
          To mark the coming of a bright new day
          Make way to bear heat of the sun rays
As flowers dance with the subtle breeze
And dawn`s golden light spills through the tallest trees.

The sweetness of each kiss hangs as tiny stars
Sparkling with shines of light from a realm afar 
          The lotus, lily and lavender bloom anew
          Beaming with the silent kiss of the morning dew
A symphony of sweet scent spreads apace
Nature`s mellifluous perfume in the space.

Dew kissed blooms are a refreshing sight early in the morning. "The sweetness of each kiss hangs as tiny stars Sparkling with shines of light from a realm afar"--- Love it. So sweet is your composition, dear Krish. All the Best.
