    MY PALACE AND MY QUEEN

Though it is a hut in a slum

it is spacious and neat to stay

With all comforts  I am writing there

My angel serves as a maiden to me

when iam wandering in the world of dreams

Her hand will gently spray the air from  a handy fay

She cared that even sweat should not hinder my creations

Her eyes will watch the sky

to prevent my poems from the rain drops

Her hands will carry a candle

to continue my writings at the dark nights

My home  may be a hut  and she may be an aged wife

It is my Palace, and She is my queen.

Lovely Sakthi

And screw the political correctness, although I have such a palace, I wish I had such a queen.
cheers,
Jess

Once again your gentleness shines through. You’re a full moon, Ravi.
