Burnt feelings
Before the night ends and the day Is done
The water recedes in the background
There are words unsaid and emotions unshared
I wish these could be conveyed when it was time
The sun has risen, the darkness retreats
Few scribbles on the papers to read and wipe
Within this heart of mine, a little too big yet it's small
There're feelings trapped waiting to be expressed
I wish I'd done at noon time high
But it's all too late to say a word or share an Essay
No dramas to recite, nothing of whispers to hide
Love is all I made up of, too much to give and receive
Wish it was then I could have, now saving it for eternity
Captured everything around me the heartfelt feelings
Dancing under the moonlit night
Along the beach, over sandy space
Musical notes rising and falling
A tidal orchestra on the display
With Winds of romance to blanket us
A purple glow under an Arabian tent
Where mornings would be bliss to wake upon
Or on a clumsy evening of rainfalling down
A cosy cabin by the brook of peace
Wooden logs burn to keep the heat in
As our desires wake and sleep with divine music
Space to share with my loving one
Romancing the nights and days
under rain showers flowing around
There's a little me blocked inside
Wishing a well and oceans of love to share
On a wakeful monotony of the working day
Stretching to reach the loving arms around
A little love to spill here and there
Perfectly bringing me to life again
I wish I could write those untouched feelings
On the sheets of love in a romantic cabin
Watching each seed grow and attain it's youth
Watering them with more love and care
Before it could be a tree of romantic life
I realized, it was too late to utter anything
So wrapped up words are sitting inside
The treasure chest of lovely feelings
Hoping someday they find a heart
To hear these words singing my true love

A purple glow under an Arabian tent
Moonlight feelings keep on singing.
