The Magic Of May Poem by Valsa George

The Magic Of May

Rating: 5.0


May has arrived, the season of sunshine and rain
Bringing the magic of bright tints in its train
All around are fresh and fair flowers
Peeking out from the foliage and peeping from bowers

In the tranquil bosom of this now beauteous land
An array of varied and glorious sights abound
And how my sauntering gaze labours to trace
The shifting scenes in all their loveliness and grace

Look at the hare bounding away to its covert boroughs
And the pheasant suddenly bursting upon its wings
How the swans playfully glide over the still waters
And the birds in resonating melody charm the woods

There is love in the quickening breath of May
Drowning all Nature in song and mirth’s sway
The whole atmosphere, made electric and gay
The air, so jovial and children are at play

My heart quakes in a rush of exuberant delight
At the memory of something I am unable to relate
My sky is aflame in colours splendid and bright
And I have spun the web of a dream, delicate and sweet

My blood runs in tumultuous flow, warm and fervent
And each heart beat sounds sonorous and vibrant
My lips though silent, longs to tell a tale
Of a moment that still leaves me joyously hale

Drunk in the loveliness of this season of delight
And choked by an inexplicable ache, that is sweet
Here I stand so dazed and distraught
Festering and panting for some coherent utterance!

May has arrived, the season of sunshine and rain Bringing the magic of bright tints in its train All around are fresh and fair flowers Peeking out from the foliage and peeping from bowers....Brilliant beginning. The inscription on May is absolutely fascinating. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.

Dear May! Here is the best a poet can pay. Now be moderate, no heat strokes for the clay, not a burning day, your pleasant winds in the night, cloudy weather and the dim sunlight, that's what the humans, birds and animals need, for a lover there is one more greed, a fine mild rain in the noon, during night a starry sky and the moon.
