What whispers stir the night so late—
A nightingale’s forgotten sigh?
Or the river’s lullaby, drifting faint?
Doves trade secret kisses—
A love too shy to meet the light.
Oh, what a tender riot!
The kiss still glistens on her cheek—
Why won’t its dew ever fade?
Her eyes swell with unspoken rain—
Who etched this storm in her veins?
No bridal gold graces her neck,
Just a monsoon of memories unsung…
Yet in his lap, she bloomed, thornless—
A flower the world never named.
A love too shy to meet the light.
Oh, what a tender riot!
O King, with your velvet gaze,
Veil her eyes—let the world dissolve.
If she leans into your embrace,
Let the night hum an aariraro lullaby.
Who is she? A stranger? A rhyme?
Only the stars would carve her name—
Or the moon’s unborn hymn compel.
A love too shy to meet the light.
Oh, what a tender riot!
Hands that slipped into her tangled dusk—
Are they weaving a constellation or curse?
Her womanhood, sugar dissolved in rain—
Who can cradle a monsoon’s thirst?
Words that shiver on her lips’ edge—
A parched vow the sun forgot…
Heartbeats throb like orphaned drums—
Why won’t this silence turn to symphony?
A love too shy to meet the light.
Oh, what a tender riot!
When she parts her lips—
a monsoon of jasmine,
Streams turn to whispers,
chanting her name.
Who are these two—
twin cuckoos of spring,
Or fawns of first love,
trembling, untamed?
A love too shy to meet the light.
Oh, what a tender riot!
