Girl with Peacock Feather Eyes
Girl with Peacock Feather Eyes
gentle upward tilt that cries
You come to me at night
unaware of my plight
Regality in every look you sigh
my peacock-feathered girl
Lashes that ensnare
A courtship call laid bare
Come forth, Ceylon's pearl
become my peacock-feathered girl
Imagination comes undone
You corner me, defenceless with those eyes
The royal Mughal halls would not compare
to my mirror in which you stare
You are moonlight to my thoughts. Untether me, my dear
These peacock-feathered eyes will keep me here.
