Starry Nights

Posted on by Reena Saxena

stars come alive
on a clear sky
but my skin still burns
(ineffective sunscreen)
longs for soothing lotions
glycerine, rosewater and lime
before I dream of rainy days
and cloudy skies

moon on its daily sojourn
internalizes change
controls the tides
while I roll on white sheets
restless, awake…
go skinny-dipping
on sultry nights
under the stars
