SLEEPING VALLEY

Nocturnal bird, whistling consistently, on the
Higher branch, resonance breaks the silence –
Of deep sleeping valley, moonlit canopies
Builds the romantic bridge, sitting on balcony
Hill station looks a tiny paradise, as a night
Matures, desires wants to play hide and seek!
In this misty gloom, clouds are leaning to touch
The crest of mountain, unsettled, wet feelings
Trying to get fleeting refuge, you are wordless!
Gazing toward the rough trunk of tree, the
Tempest breathing, a drowsiness or hiding
Mysterious smile, your eyes say you love me,
Further than dream, I found, in this closeness
Dialogues lost meaning shrugs come out from
The ovum of passion, a fascination to sink
Ourselves in the unseen deluge of sweet -
Emotion, I try to hold, to seize your concealed
Pleasure, why you do not wish to share it, in
Your reply, life gets significance for survival,
In this long night, I saw haunting glow in your
Eyes, a recreation of elation, euphoria, a
Passion to die in love, this beautiful arctic
Ignition, the icy blue simplicity, your amazed
Face says me to keep you cautiously in the
Heart, as a fragile expensive urn, its clarity
Appeals, but I always think to decorate it with
Tender daffodils, but afraid to contact the
Glassy surface, looking to each other night
Reached to pinkish horizon, nocturnal magic
Toward the climax, slowly I cover the blanket
In your body, kissed the forehead, stretched
The twisted curtain, dawn encroaching to hills!
