! ! ! ! 116 Full Moon Nights



Having laboured through
A winding night that denial is
I was glad to dream of desires
Dream of those slant-eyed yearnings
With lashes stretched heavenward
The silken, sinuous winding curves
that baffles the senses to disbelief

In those prayed craved dreams I
Wanted to go down on my knees and beg

To rest your head on my shoulder
For one out of the 116 full moon nights

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The reference to 116 full moon nights come from a song of Indian movie 'Ijazaat' which can be translated approximately as '116 are nights of moon and one is the mole on your shoulder'
