Under A Starry Sky Poem by indira babbellapati

the perennial darkness
that surrounds me
doesn't allow me to discernl
day from night
i sit in my southwest balcony
edging on such a night
of myriad stars insulating me
from the earthly existence
and when stars descend
to brush past my cheek
i come back to life with a start
thinking you broke all the cruel
barriers to come to me to
plant a tender kiss on my
forlorn cheek on a night as this

now night wraps me
in a blanket of
perpetaul passion
