SHALIMAR


Lady of many names
Your banter entices
To see you in night
Speaking words that charm any man
No one can resist you

I have come to know you
And hear your sweet laugh
I look into your eyes
Without seeing
To touch your hand gently

I want to walk with you
Under a tearing moon
And tell you the secrets
Of the Universe
And watch your mind

To see your face
And behold such beauty
Time is yours to command
To watch you spin a web
Of intrigue and joy

I wish for all to share
The one I have come to know
You shine above all
When you let your spirit free
Lady of many names
