Red Earrings
by: Haresh Daswani

It does seem interesting
The two red earrings,
Dancing along with the wind,
With every movement of the head…

Two red earrings,
Hanging on each ear,
listen to what the ear hears,
every secret,
and the voice of the host,
her sweetest lullabies…

In her captivating tone,
Her sweetest voice,
As I shift my gaze…

And nothing could be more,
For nothing more is needed,
As her gaze shifts through the night…

The meaning of the night was lost,
And all I can do is stare,
Until the world was void…
All I can do is listen,
Until the world was silent…

Sweeping through the night,
In its stealth,
Void has enveloped all the noise,
In its sweet descent
As the glow came from a solitary source…

And as time passed,
It paused to stare,
As music lingered,
It listened,
As I to, the same…

Upon the sweetest night,
fortune did arrive,
And those who realize,
Fortunate…
