The Shy Moon Poem by Somanathan Iyer

The moon was bright
on the waves of clouds
here and there all along the sky
stars were playing hide and seek
scent of flowers renting the air
the entire garden looked like movie set
looking at the moon standing I all alone
neared me you in a noiseless walk
what a beauty! quipped I at serene moon
glanced me you after staring the moon
flawed is the moon with a blackened spot
your face is flawless glitter in radiance
whispered you causing ripples in my heart
on hearing you slipped the shy moon
behind clouds only to peep out after a gap
