Under the bare roof of the sky
I sit amused by the twinkling stars
Studded in the black blanket of space
I wish to cross the taverns of thoughts
And creaks of unpolished heart
With the charms of stilled love
Alas! Neither heart nor mind
Obeys my commands blissfully
As they are one of rusted insane
To glitter my life of joy and pain
A smile of longing is transfixed
Along the rapturous path of love
Indeed the gentle touches of breeze
And the grilling gazes of moon
Can no longer seduce my inner horizons
For I've decided to fly in love happily

Wonderful poem Padmaja! You have beautifully captured the beauty of the picture through your golden words. I often wonder, what would be the kind of joy a bird would be enjoying as it flies!! Well written dear!
Whenever I see the blank sky, I remember Jonathan Livingson Seagull and its classic teaching...
"To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is," he said, "you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived ..."
Isn't it wonderful?
Well, last weekend, I happened to visit one of our friend's houses and I was inspired by the open terrace and its charming open view of the sky & stars. I really enjoyed the limited time period that I spent there. This poem is just a glimpse of my feelings felt at that time. :)
Btw, I would love to learn flying if given an opportunity. :)
beautiful thoughts in very smooth poetry, Padmaja...Very well-written.
Fell in love with this poem immediately.
