Who gave you your name, Nishagandhi ??

i push my boat into your nightfulness.
into
the seafull nights in your face.

shimmering stars and milkyways.
shows me
your immensities
that
the daylight hides.

Wrap me in your darkness
feel comfortable with your freedom.

Of the lantern
Eat the crust of light with your nightful mouth
without regrets
or hopes for the skin
of your soul
denying, its duskiness .

i allow myself to be lost in you
for
here
i'm no more a stranger.

i push my boat
into your darkness
where
nightful waters murmur
what the daylight could'nt discover.



NB: Nishagandhi is a flower that bloom at night,once a year..mostly, after the hot breathless south indian summer.

it emanates a fragrance that makes the moon talk to the lovers.
And the poets get drunk.
i' d say , so aphrodisiacally inspirational.

i have encountered the Nishagandhi nights, just twice in my life in india,

i felt that i could write the part-II of the Kamasutra.
Never was a flower , both soul and body intoxicating.

It is also known as the " Brahma- kamala..." the lotus of Brahma"
Actually , i suppose that the poem above has nothing to do with Nishagandhi.
