As the winds beckoned me just like the old times
I slipped out stealthily into my terrace
Just to be captivated again
By the silent beauty of the night
There was that age-old dance
Of the coconut trees in the winter breeze
And the scented scrubs romancing with the wind
The wild fragrance of the delicate jasmine
Brings back those haunting memories in my mind
Of the days I spent in solitude
Beneath the starry heavens, as I dreamed
Of myths and legends that passed here
Aeons ago… Things that I may never know
I’ve sung so many songs to people I’ve never met
But who share this caress of the sweet night
I heard many golden notes floating down too
I wonder how fast those times flew
I remember those silly picnics in the moonlight
When the air echoed with jokes and laughter
Some mirthless days, when I cried alone there
Watching the unfading lights beyond
I deploringly took in every detail
For I had missed many such magical nights
Nights- which they call the lovers bliss
When all things look beautiful- in the moonlight’s kiss
