PALACE OF NIGHT





Residing, a glossy, dark endless dome-
Celebration of shimmer and glitter.
Washed by breeze carrying sweetness home-
Fragrance of jasmine cluster.

Perfumed with dreams
Black, en roofs everything.
Decorated by starry streams,
Night spreads, like a peacock's preen.

Airy and effulgent, thoughts float around
Filling the dark enticing chest.
Moon scurries behind enormous clouds
Teasing nightingales, in no haste.

Nature admires herself, like a Narcissist at rest
In this bright vignette star lite night.
Slowly and swiftly, reluctant to waste,
She captures this hypnotic sight.



Sailing on lofty clouds of rays,
Eos comes with her enticing light.
Letting her spread a path for sun,
Nature invites her to the Palace of Night.


-VAISAKHI MISHRA


P.S.:-PROMPT-beauty of night...
