When the Full Moon Brightens the Sky
When the full moon brightens the sky
And dispels the darkness of night
My love sets my heart racing high
Ignites in me flames of delight
And with whispering waves of sigh
Holds me in close embrace so tight.

Each cell brightens with divine light
Crown’s a living fountain
Aura glistens with glow pure white
Come, let’s climb the mountain
Love alone is love’s aim
Bliss is our middle name
God’s flame our claim to fame
Rapture heightens
Each cell brightens

When I ruminate in trepidations forlorn,
Darkness traversed in search of dawn,
Vying fertile shores, oceans I crossed,
Nightmares that my dreams doled out;
Looking back now, how I fondly recall--
In those hardships success was born.
As I watch frigid woes glinting on snow,
Winters that melt and in rivers flow,
Parched-leaves tinting autumn’s glow,
I wonder how seasons in throes know;
Behind clouds of despair rises arc of hope.
When I spend today in tempests bygone
Brooding in defeat of conquests lost,
Yesterdays that were callously tossed;
I once again follow footsteps of the past
Imprisoning my triumphs of tomorrow
Arresting winsome ambitions of now.
Learning the lessons from where I was
I reassure anxieties perturbing my life:
Travails of turbulence won’t last long,
For a darkest night too brightens in dawn,
A rainbow forms after a storm is gone.
So, I clasp the hand of a leisurely walk
Unfettered by constant tick of time clock,
Passionately answering call of my heart
Bequeathing moments that forever last.

Bindu brightens, all nodes aglow
It’s the bliss elixir
Imbibed by souls, in stillness slow
Chakras begin to whir
For pure hearts, free from sin
Magic unfolds within
Bliss throbbing on our skin
Rapture heightens
Bindu brightens

G-leam brightens the day
I-n seventeenth November;
A-s night says goodbye to the one rising from slumber.
A-nother light brightens the day,
N-ever will it fail your heart;
G-lint up above is shining,
E-vening dark shadows depart.
L-et the light brighten the day
I-n the coolness of the breeze;
C-old chill has disappeared,
A-s the morn makes a promise.
C-rimson brightens the day
A-s the sun meets the zenith;
S-weet hello of the beacon
T-ruly warms one underneath.
I-lluminated by the flame,
L-ady angel is far from gray;
L-onely night is left behind,
O-ne light brightens the day.

J-ust let March thirtieth
O-pen the early Thursday;
J-oyful break of morn
O-bliterates the blue and gray.
F-rom dawn till twilight,
L-et the red beacon shine;
O-nce the night is gone,
R-ising sun meets the skyline.
E-vening raindrops disappear into the deepest oblivion;
S-hadows have vanished, light brightens the horizon.

APOLLO 11 BRIGHTENS OUR FUTURE
Beyond the twinkling stars, so still - the dark.
We strive for greater things - the Moon and Mars.
And Venus we do praise her beauty mark.
Our Milky Way - homogenized gold stars.
Forgotten Pluto, runt, invisible.
And mando Jupiter, so powerful.
Each planet thrives alone, divisible.
Our great universe quite so beautiful.
Astronaut stands heroic with flag plant.
We stare up at the shining white rapt moon.
We dream to see a microscopic ant
or life-size man, on the right side of June.
The mysterious sky lights up each face.
The night unveils our future life in space.

The day is grey, no sun peeks through
But then again I heard from you
A comment here a comment there
In fact comments almost everywhere
The sun is shining in my heart
The greyness of the days depart
You lighten up my cheerless day
Can’t wait to see what’s new today
