On the Shore





The orange ball sliding slowly beyond the horizon,
Where blue water turns to a different shining surface,
Moon yet to show its face in the eastern sky,
But Sun does not spread its light on Moon this eve,
Approaching a dark night, of course stars become happy,
Happy to twinkle and glitter in the sky like diamonds,
Standing on the shore could find a glow in the ocean,
Hope arises from the heap of imaginations and dreams,
Perhaps my love is sailing towards my heart,
A mix of joy and fear prevails in my mind,
Whether a fact or again another illusion to strike,
Still my heart optimistically beats for the glowing,
Nobody has time to spare for my feelings on the shore,
Left me alone on the cool wet sand shore to witness,
Or to check my patience for the moment of life
When my queen of heart will reign over me,
With her sweet fragrances and cute charming lips,
Embrace me with her warm arms around me,
And walk along with me making our destination one.
