Eloisa
She held my hands and brought me
to the moon.
As wanderer in the silver sky,  
a silent observer of the lantern of darkness,
she brought with her,
her memory of heavy past.
But the moon just watched and remained silent.
She understood the moon’s message,
“There is light and darkness within us,
just love and cherish life.”
I enjoyed the night’s magic and significance.
As I watched her hues and
smelled her fragrance.
Her smile mirrors the brightness and mystery of the moon.  
Though her eyes reflect her darkness
and imperfections.
With the luminous moon,
she shimmered beyond the clouds.
On a night journey that I won’t forget,
a magical moment with my lunar angel.
~Saw the enchanting beauty of last night’s full moon.

Keerthi
soaking in the sunlight
under the trellis of greenery,
shadows dancing on the face
and warmth lulling to a slumber,
faint music pouring into the ears,
and fleets of feelings unfolding
dancing with the memories,
untold stories peeking behind
the closed lit eyes,
pressing to let out.

Keerthi
Night invaded the blue sky
the simmering moon floats across
sweet night air tickles my senses
night queen tantalizes awakening desires
while I lay next to you
gazing into those soft brown eyes
I realize I belong not to myself
but to you
then you whisper I love you
I lower my gaze with shy
as tempted kiss lingers
on my smile.

Sona Lachina
This wandering pen
Has hacked through thickets
And traipsed the borderlands,
Praying in it's cold temples
And crossing its sweet-pined mountains
To find the same riverbank
Where its journey began --
My hands cup your face
Like a lily pad catches droplets of water
That fall from the sky

Traveler
I sold my soul for another chance
But you threw that chance away
How could I’ve have seen such coming
It cut me like a blade

Now my dreams are all but frozen
The door of love you've broken
You tied my tongue
In silent darkness
In the bottom of life's ocean

I forgive you
  Just the same
Out here in the shadows
I still remain
