The Fullmoon Day Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

The moon rose on the vast twilight stage
Like a bride walking-in for the first night tryst;
Twilight in the east caught the jasmine-white riot
Around the huge glow of the giant cosmic lamp;
Divinity flowed all over the earth's crust
And trickled on the world through ethereal layers;
It carried numb dreams, soothed tired souls
While the heavenly milky flow soaked every human mind
With desires for joy and enduring soft warmth.

The golden queen in the stride of royal grace
Ascended heaven with gold dusts splayed
On the fading silk-carpet of the thin sunshine;
As night fell, the nature lit the heavenly lamp
And the world went abright with joy afloat in air;
Cool breeze whispered warmth, night carried a new world,
Bright winnocks of heaven let-out divine light;
The queen of numb joy, strode along the night sky
With poppied sloth, left all over the milky path
And the world was awash with pure glow of joy.

Hills and buildings broke out through darkness
'Neath the thick layers of fleeting silver clouds;
Trees and lakes, wet with soft white light
Raised a new world from the nocturnal old world,
Where no more is fiery night, but bright soft delight,
No more is dread, but transpicious transcendent vision
Of what is beauty, what is peace and bliss;
The night is full with beauty's sweet contrasts
Of peace and passions, stillness and motions
With shades and twilights of sensuous quietude!

The moon with full bloom of her bright smiles
Feasted the world with sweet magic all round;
Cool brought warmth and warmth brought cool
While the world was wrapped in full-moon light;
Whirls of sweet madness whispered in air,
Sweet pain of pining was carried from horizons
And the intense joyous brooding hung mind in stillness;
A total joy it was, the nature's road to god
That made the dull earth, a beauty's holy temple,
Once every month from the long lost ages.
