A Diana Smile! Poem by Ramesh T A

I

Misty crescent Moon smiles in night sky alone!
Diana waits for her romantic lover roaming Romeo!
Why is she waiting alone so long high in the sky?
Even if ladder is there can Romeo touch her ever?
She waits long searching for her lover in the world;
But Romeo is roaming round the world for his life!
Can Romeo ever dream of taking the hand of Diana?
Diana comes every night challenging him for her love
But Romeo minds his business with Mercutio in sorrow!
Not knowing his plight Diana smiles at his vain glory;
But Romeo fights for his friend's tragedy, a great malady!
Lying on the sea shore he looks with great pain at Diana;
Caught by the spell of Diana's bright moon face swoons he
Floating on a dream land hit by the arrows of Cupid boy
After the mid summer night caressed by the southern breeze!

II

The magic potion of love makes Romeo love Diana
Believing her to be her dearest Juliet he has lost once!
That is perhaps the secret of Moon's smile alone in night
Bullied by the mischievous winking stars around her ever!
Thousand ships were launched in war for Helen's beauty!
But for a single kiss of Diana thousand ships may launch
It seems to unite Romeo with Diana in the heaven soon!
A kiss of beauty if launches thousand ships to love war
What will happen for a life long love between the lovers?
Kidding stars fearing a great havoc of heavens brood
To split the lovers by a clever plan eternally for safety!
Turning mists and fogs into rain skies blur earth's view
For Diana never to see Romeo anywhere in the world!
And so, the distance between earth and moon drag long...!
