Tonight
Lying on my back and watching the starry sky, words crept into my mind and VOILA! out emerged these verses! Hope you enjoy this short poem.
Tonight is the very night
You and I unite
Glint in the eyes
And stars in the sky
I've been waiting for this
Ever since we last cried.
For tonight is the very night
You and I unite
The moon shines bright
The leaves on trees sway
The lapping of the river
The games that nature play
For tonight is the very night
You and I unite
I'll look at you,
You'll look at me
And bliss overwhelms us
And everything will be alright
For tonight is the very night
You and I unite
The clock strikes twelve
It is past midnight
I slowly creep to the lonely woods
And wait there while the hungry jackals fight
For tonight is the very night
You and I unite
It's four hours….then seven
No sight of you around the darkness drawn
I stifle back a tear
And walk the lonely path forlorn
For tonight WAS the very night
You and I WERE to unite…….
My sincere prayers for my friends all around India, especailly in MUMBAI or areas around. May all Indains unite and fight back against this terrror. I'm praying hard for all :(

yeah Meghna,
yesterday i told my dad that India should make strict rules for people to enter it, just like the embassy of the United States of America does.
zawan
@ Zawan- I agree with you and your dad.....but what can we do? It all depends on the PM and other politicians who only look forward to banking on votes, whatever be the gravity of the situation. I don't even have the power to elect them :(
Tonight is the very night,
You and I unite
I like tat phrase!!
lovely , disappointments are as much a reality as hope is . .
The terror attacks at Mumbai is sickening
Maybe its because I'm just a guy, but I never really took to poetry, but this poem was sweet. Not often I would say that about a poem, especially from someone who is but a child!
But you are special, and so was this poem, so it was one of those special times when even I, an old lug, actually took the time to time to enjoy a poem!
Thanks!
Oh, by the way, I forgot to remember to tell you that you really should submit this poem to one of the Indian newspapers, maybe the editorial section or the reader comment sections.
I'm sure that everyone in India, especially those in the great city of Mumbai, would appreciate this poem at this specially sad time.
I loved the poem!!!!!
We are all praying because of wa r , you know I am praying with you :)
Kisses and hope everything will go Ok
