Before Sunrise


As the World goes asleep, I open my eyes,

Moon they call me, I adorn the skies.

Different is my Garb, as I am born each night,

My soul remains the same, changes only the sight.

Fortunate I am, my living is worth,

I revolve around you ‘O beautiful Earth’.

So charming are your looks, virtues you’ve rife,

Lives evolve in you, you are full of life.

Parted we might be, Separate we are not,

I am bond to you, inconspicuous is the knot.

Respect I the Fact, and regrets I have none,

What I feel for you, You feel for the Sun.

Never should you shed a tear, is my prime concern,

Honest are my feelings, I expect no returns.

Sometimes I hide behind the clouds, when I feel pain.

But tears I can’t hide; they fall as rain.

But I always wear a smile; I have a reason for mirth,

In my Heart you shall reside ‘O Beautiful Earth’.

The Sun is about to rise, soon shall I fade,

I shall live with the memories, they never evade.

Generous is the Sun, He values my feelings,

As I eclipse Him, He presents you the Ring.

Remember me if you can, as a period of spring,

As a Light in the Dark, as a shine of your Ring.

I shall remember you ,true...
But.....
As the color so blue,That paints the sky.
As a bird I saw, that yester flew,
With wings so strong,to the land so far;
As a flash of light,true it is, Thou art a spark.
Not as the shine of my Ring shall I remember thee,
Treasure I shall but memories thine
More than karats and carats infinite.
Light thou art in the dark, thou say
Success thou shall enslave,this for thee I pray.

Dear brother , I don't have words really ! To try to put it in words will only be a frail attempt. You made me feel that we r all a part of a living breathing universe that is tied with love . Not just this but ur previous poems too , seem to drive home the fact tht love keeps the world turning , and what is love if it is not selfless. May God bless your thoughts and your pen ( or keyboard :D )

Thnx a lot for these words :).

@ashutosh
tera interpretation is very beautiful. But what I wished to portray was that So generous is the Sun, he is presenting moon as a ring, which is the most priced possession for the couple, what more could moon ask for, he shall always be able to bring happiness on the face of earth by vitue of itself. But urs is equally beautiful, both ours lead to the same thing, isn't it ?
