Across The Eastern Sky Poem by Seema Aarella

A star falls across the eastern sky
Queen of night blooms in shy
Her beauty amplified by the moon light
She spreads and stands to rule the night

Far from woods with howling wolves
Away from tricks of cheeky elves
A tired baby soundlessly sleeps
A parted lover silently weeps

Contently sleeping people of town
Some slept worrying of the dawn
Scared by nightmare someone screams
Fairies descend and give out dreams

A prince cuddles in bed of feather
A drunkard slumps near box of litter
For every being slumber does come
When fairy of night begins to hum

Awaken people hurry out of bed
When eastern skies are painted red
The queen of night encases in bud
Fairies gone, elves withdrawn, moon is dud


The day passes in slow motion
In a new dreams anticipation
Again opens the queen of night
Elusively romancing the moonlight! ! !
