ROMANCE Poem: No matter how dark the night, by Satya Nayak

No matter how dark the night,
The Moon always shines.

There’s so much to stare at, to ponder, to care about in this world yet I always find myself lost in
the woods of:

Your hair, like the carefree wheat
Under the summer breeze,
In waves of golden grace,
Dances with such ease.

I am fascinated by the sky. It has this unspoken sense of dressing itself with clouds and borrowed
colors. It compels my soul to search deeper. I never could figure out what exactly is the sky. It’s
never the same. And such are my feelings when I search:

Your soul, like the sky,
Ever-changing, ever vast,
Each moment a new cloud,
Rises in her heart steadfast.

October is a unique month. We all welcome the idea of a winter at this time. There’s the last
hustle of summer, the first kiss of cold, the last long light, the first long night, the last drop of
rain, the first chill of the snow, and the last bit of my sorrow dies to the first of:

Your smiles, like the evening,
A twilight’s soft embrace,
Making way for night stars,
In the beauty of your face.

To write poetry “stillness” is essential. Your soul sits still waiting for the divine oars to touch and
stir the calm of your imagination. So, every time I write poetry your memories stir the:

The stillness of ordinary experience,
Which in you, finds its sublime calm.
In your love, I find the world,
A soothing, healing balm.

Thus, I say again, proud and brave, to you, love’s purest light:

No matter how dark the night,
The Moon always shines.

Yours lovingly,
Your eternal dreamer
