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.
