THE ETERNAL WET GLOW

After intense summer noon the

The evening brings the spell of rain,

The brief cyclonic clouds finally

Disappears, soggy dusk, the wet

Pinkish beam fills our emotions,

The sluiced ivy leaves, shrunk

Fluff unfolds the wing of passion,

Heart desires to touch your lips, a

Wavy darkness creates the magic,

Persona becomes boondocks, the

Night carries the zest of winy

Fragrance, the eyes convey some

Mystifying conformities, we have

No control on sweet corollaries, it

Opens the trail of pensive valley,

In the sleeping hamlet, dreams

Have turned into drifting wings,

Searching the secret path to enter

Through nerves to mind, a sweet

Motion sings on the spinal cord,

Anxious night doesn’t relax, all the

Time throwing the moonlit web,

The whispering hum of heart beat

Goes deep to deeper, the stoma

Of skin spread out with beautiful

Hidden honey, in the backyard –

Nocturnal bloom abruptly splits the

Cubicle aroma, sweating moments

Converts the compliance of thirst,

Embracing curly climbers in the end

Shares the water drops, from leaves

To twig later trip down the moisture

On the surface of rough roots, the

First light knocks the door constantly,

Sluggish eyes searches the scattered

Layers on the floor, drops of love

Are evergreen never goes to dry, its

Difficult to hide, eternal wet glow,

It sustained in infinite way entire life.
