EVENING
STAR
In the sky has risen the Evening Star
Cool pleasant breeze blows from afar
I can hear you call clearly
Come Dear sit close to me
Put around me your arms so slender
Spread
the scent of your breath tender
In my heart find your shelter
Sit near me and watch the evening
With myriad soft hues blushing
Cheek upon cheek together
Lets remember these forever
Sorrows of the world no more remember
You are mine and I yours forever
Distances dissolve when hearts meet
You and I together for time infinite.
Original poem “SAAYANTARA”
