In the solitude of night

In the solitude of night
-----------------------------
I adore the rise of moon
and the stars shining bright
bringing me your remembrance
in the solitude of night.

Moonlight seems flowery spread on earth
merging in the sea
river quenching its thirst
waves exulting in expectations
rejoice and swoon
under the moon & moonlight
when I remember you
in the solitude of night.

Decked with flowers
lass on a swing
like a cuckoo ,
she then sings
and shehnai* being played far off, echoing.

Hoping to meet her beloved,
she blossoms like a flower of mustard
song of separation makes love deep
her love erupts when separation seeps
all bringing me your remembrance
in the solitude of night
under the moonlight.

Putting me in trance
resonance of your voice
watching me in this state
you glow and rejoice
casting a spell, who deserts me at dawn
remembrance comes again then
under the moonlight
in the solitude of night.

I adore the rise of moon
and the stars shining bright
bringing me your remembrance
in the solitude of night.

    A wonderful poem from a wonderful human heart.
    An emotional poem the lover remembers his love in the solitude of night, when the moon is shining in the night with its milky aura making the atmosphere romantic. .
    While the world sees the moon as a moon, the lover may look at the moon and see his beloved's smiling face there. Night, moon stars all have an enchanting affect on the lover's heart and mood.
    Nice poem dear TK, enjoyed reading it.
