Waltz In Moonlight

She would persevere in winter frost on moonless nights
She would not be remain naked like a bare autumn tree 
She is strong not to fall apart like petals strewn about 
On moonless nights, she lets her tears fall in raindrops  
Longing to become one with him, she is ecstatic with joy.

The mermaid opens up all depths of soul in his wait 
The rising sea tide shimmers like sliver in moonlight 
Promising to reveal his arrival to her any moment  
She would charm him with her moonlit beauty afresh
Her rosy lips eagerly await a kiss of love from beloved.

She seeks for the moon to merge with her beating heart 
His love has power to make her an angel on moonlit nights 
They share secrets known to fishes, birds or notes of music 
A moonlit night reciprocates her love in all its abundance  
She is filled with infinite energy and unbounded joy.

Moonlight lets the mermaid glow with its softness
She drapes the moonlight and waltzes mad in white clouds 
She inhales his love as fragrance of rose, in appreciation
And frames him deep in her soul, like flame of her eye
They swing across moonlit paths, hand in hand, till the dawn.
