The dark engulfs
your sorrows and pains
and paint a different shade of happiness
A different shade of grey
The night paint kohl in your eyes
underline the magic in your gaze;
it casts the spell
of your tantalizing looks
turning my wishes ablaze
Takes me, the stranger
into the whirlwind
of your desire;
spins me around
sets my heart on fire
The night whisper
in your ears
my sweetest desires
the forbidden wishes
I so want to come true;
it takes away
all the darkness
strip all the loneliness
dissolve all the malice in me and you
It unveils the mystery
which intrigues you for so long;
rekindle that fire, stir you slowly
keeps the emotions going strong
The silent night
gives voice to my muted soul;
resonate the love
etched in me and
serenades you from my core
It defines your beauty
in its elegant silhouette;
sunrise starts the day
but wearing the night
as an amulet.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
