SONNET ON BEAUTY 2ND





O' how beautifully doth thou there stand ,
In the surroundings of ever green tree,
Thine face beauty makes the Cresent Moon brand ;
Thou tempting smile is ecstatic in glee.

Thine lips are much more red than blooming roses,
They seem like two parts of  ripe strawberry;
The juice of love falls dripping as doses;
When thou press thine lips, the scent gets airy.

Thine traditional Indian seree looks as deep as the blue sky;
As if thou wrapping the whole sky around thou body in cherry;
Thine wearing Rudraksha at hand seems as pure as Shiva's gay;
As if there are thousands of love seed moves in merry.

Thus the reunion of love between us is preserved,
And the  platonic love of Radha Krishna in Vrindavan is reserved.

About this poem

Yesterday day when I was returning from GHY I saw a beautiful lady standing in the road side. I gazed her closely and penned down a few lines on her sophisticated lady nature.The poet tried to describe the lady's overall appearance with some images, similes and religious words. Hope my erudite poets may enjoy my lyric and inspire me.
