A song of the evening <br />Wow! ! ! ! ! I behold the scene <br />In that city of love <br />In XTS I devour <br />All the verses <br />poured out <br />on scraps of petals <br />never say thou <br />at sunset the gathering <br />with goblet in hand <br />waiting at taverns <br />like a pilgrim forlorn <br />with tearful eyes <br />that I have forgotten <br />thy love filled eyes. <br /> <br />Under that banyan tree- <br />yes under that banyan tree <br />the skies so clear <br />a promise we made <br />holding hands <br />thus love we proclaimed <br />the world did see <br />Recession or no recession <br />In verses we poured <br />The angels sang with us <br />The seraphs retired on high <br />The stars broke out <br />In ethereal blues <br />And myriad hues <br /> <br />How can’st one say <br />First make the sun <br />in private shine <br />And bid the moon <br />to wane in crescents divine <br />So that he may <br />his beams confine <br />In answer to thine sublime <br />That after <br />the floodlight of morn azure <br />And fullfilment of desires <br />We face not each other. <br /> <br />Know ye once again <br />And see my face <br />Need not be illusions <br />Make them real <br />Whirl up thy head <br />And screw up thy heart <br />And make this <br />A TWILIGHT SONG <br />A SONG OF THE EVENING <br />Forever to last. <br /> <br />Anjali <br /> <br />03-03-2009<br /><br />ANJALI SINHA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-twilight-song/
