Night Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Night

Rating: 5.0


I see a beautiful bride in a palanquin
In a bridal dress her hidden charms!
It's Moon the only carrier of it
With a pleasing load on his arms.

Naughty winds removing the curtains
Clouds the friends hiding her beauty
The carrier happy with a sexy glimpse
Half eyes for joy and half for duty.

Uncountable are the twinkling stars
Still she's counting during the ride
Slowly walking on the Milky Ways
Procession is marching with a bride.

Just before the dawn on the gates
The bride came out as a morning star
Being hugged by the groom, her sun,
Disappeared to appear as evening star.

In a palanquin this beautiful bride appears. She is so much charming that bridal dress are hidden in front of her charm. With a pleasing load she is moon now. Just before the dawn on the gates the bride comes out as a morning star. Naughty wind removes the curtains and clouds hide her beauty for a while.An interesting and wise imagery is drawn in this brilliant poem. Night moon is well described as beautiful bride and this poem is metaphorically and humorously presented. Excellent! ...10
