The twinkle

 

The twinkle is nigh tonight

Just a little beyond my reach

Like a bubble on the beach 

Within the reach only to slip beyond

The flamboyant timidity of her beauty

The evening smiles only to entice 

And conjure up the rage in my tides 

But believes she smiles only for herself

Unmindful of the havoc created around her

Where the breath storms within the mind 

As the breathless world looks intently 

When she ignores the froth and wind 

While being engaged in her own world

Weaving her nectar within the bright petals

With jewels in her eyes after twilight

She shines and vanishes as I look intently

To entice and discourage together 

Such is the twinkle I can see in hee eye.
