An there she lay beneath the stars,
like a sculpture moulded of a drop of dew,
with the quiet breeze that explored her hair,
swept away were the fortuitous few

at the sight of beauty in true display,
gave way pride of nature at this simple sight,
calm yet bold with her smile her weapon,
a splendid view! Oh, what a night!

Slowly then she raised her hands,
two ribbons dancing in a flow,
and then her flowing golden strands,
in the moonlight glitter and glow.

With a blush that melted many a few,
and feelings in each heart....ignite,
bless me God, bless me still,
bless me with such splendid nights.

Shadows

Weightless meanderings of a burdened body,
playful,mischievious, onlookers delight,
surprisingly near yet seldom in grasp,
a moments's mistake and they are out of sight.

Never has there been more selfish a friend,
appearing for share at behest of a spark,
long and treacherous when times descend,
left are you lurking for self in the dark.

For moments they do, you're awestruck to core,
at splendour and genius of nature's design,
they rise and fall like waves in an ocean,
they rise and fall leaving smiles benign.

Stuck

Minutes trickle away,
hours slip by,
the heart just refuses to let go of you,
building a cocoon around my feelings,
no matter how much I strive,
no matter how hard I try.

I share it with no one,
no one but me,
wanting to steer clear,
fighting to be free.

Its your face that haunts me,
when the mirror do I glance,
and my hands extend to catch you,
from the world I try to snatch you,
only to fall to knees of fate that offers no second chance.
