this glowing moon br i see on this special night br of kartika when chillness br slowly begins to spread br into the interiors pining br for mild warmth br the nascent cold spreads br blended with warm silvery glow br that investes mortal desires br with silvery wings... br raka-the name conjures up br several vivid images br of angels on picture post-cards br of lovers' passions let loose br in the open fields cutivated br by the unique glow of the moon br of kissing the moon on her cheeks br of soaring to heights unknown br from where earth looks br ready to be discarded br of returning to the br world of lackluster br with lips singing br the song of moonlight... br br 02nov2009 br 12.
