When you stand in between him and me, <br />Do you look prettier than me to envy? <br />This cycle of tortures go on many years, <br />When he, you and I stand in line in cosmic sphere, <br />Even my children admire and a few start to sing, <br />Others take their mighty pens looking at their flings, <br />Millions of poem dedicated for your pretty fair face, <br />The crucial decision is made on this day, <br />To face you out slowly and steadily, <br />When you are drowned in the reflected allure, <br />Move around me in drunken dream and stupor, <br />When my shadow catches your beautiful body, <br />You are very intoxicated to hide behind me, <br />When I stand face to face with him, the universal infidel, <br />Flirts with every star that flick and twinkle, <br />Plays with my feeble heart that has lava bleed, <br />Your mind is cleared, then repent and become, <br />A Carmelite for a day behind the earthen wall, <br />When I am in between him and you, <br />When I am closer to him, I really glow, <br />But none of my children, the children of the infidel, <br />ever sing a song on my acquired beauty, <br />Then you emerge out of my shadow, <br />to grow, glow and go on with, <br />your less than 30 days cycle, <br />Whatever gimmick you do, <br />I am the magnificent Earth, <br />And you are always under my spell.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-look-at-her-face-and-the-moon-the-moon-is-not-beautiful/
