A Goodnight Wish

Have you ever received a goodnight wish from a stranger ? And the next moment felt that she was the one you've been searching your life ? Perhaps now you'd be led to believe that there is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, a throbbing moment.

Why does an unexpected goodnight wish

Keep awake an inevitable, mundane existence of years ?

The full moonlight spilling in through the mind's pane

Having awakened unrealized desires

As the passer-by looked up at the vast black sea of shining diyas

One of them seemed to cry

'I've got to return in the morning to the country of clouds

You see I have the responsibility of lighting up the entire sky

So what the fire consumes my mind, my youth night after night

I've been longing to hear your footsteps since eternity

When my tears dry, my rose petals peel off to the ground

And the realization of my haplessness tortures my heart

Like the trembling of a cruel winter night

'Why did you beckon me towards you if you won't surrender ? the passer - bye's tears demands

Why fill the air with the scent of your moonlight wet body then ?

O my love how can I fall asleep ever again ?

Till the time you kiss me Goodnight
