Rohini Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

In the clear night sky,
With a naked eye,
I can see it high,
Hung-up shining bright,
With an orange twinkle -,
The bulls eye of Taurus,
Dying star of scientists,
My Astrologer's birth star,
Rohini a.k.a. Aldebaran!

Held its planetary system,
For long with a song;
Tired with time and tide,
Stardust after all and,
Set to expire with might;
Born shall burn and
Burnt shall re-born,
The cycle of infinity,
Un-deterred with time and tide!

The creator's ruling place,
The moon's romantic craze,
The sun's hottest blaze,
My destiny's command phase,
If the soothsayer's are true!

I admire it sometimes,
Concentrate on it other times,
Meditate at it few times,
To get it predictions right,
And set my expectations straight,
To test my plight in the,
Transit flights of a life time!

Rohini the puzzle ball,
Orange punch of my breaks,
Attraction of my silent nights,
Eyeball of my curious eyes,
Reveals with a flick of eyelids,
But with a sound of Cymbals!
