AT PEACE WITH THE COSMOS - MAYLBUS

AT PEACE WITH THE COSMOS - MAYLBUS

MAYLBUS
By night
Pitch-black
Cold and quiet

Electricity
Inside houses
Not outside
The streets

Shining stars
Twinkling stars
Milky way
High up
In the sky
Light streets
Feast to our eyes

Can Maylbus be
Romantic at night?
Why not

Just step outside
Simply gaze at the sky
Will get a clue
Don't need to aim high

Will be amazed
At the peaceful
Chill and quiet

Soft breeze
Caressing your face
Like girl friend's
Soothing hands

Dots of
Moving lights
Shining light from
A distance

Not shooting stars
But mobile phones
Lighting dark alleys

Replacing torch
Now relegated
To museums

For there are no
Street lights

Perched on top
Of a hill
Cool breeze gently
Caressing faces
Like lovers' hands

At dawn
The orange sun
Ushers in
New day full of fun

People in their
White attires
Flock
To the church

Lovers start
With a
Pleasant day

Looking at the
Undulating hills
Green fields

Cattle grazing
Farmers farming
Shepherds herding

Romantic for lovers
Young and old
Displaying affections

Convenient for
Love scenes
Enacted
In Maylbus
For TV series

Couples gazing
At each other
Hugging, kissing
Promising
Heaven & earth
To each other

Extending
Platitudes
Declaring
Undying love

Vowing
To be faithful
And loyal

What more
Romance
Can one want?

Will now
Announce
To the world
MAYLBUS
Not imaginary place
It exists
Isn't virtual
But
Real

A beautiful
Village
With antic
And rustic
Privilege

Is not
Bollywood
Or Hollywood

This place is
MAYLBUS
Not in North
Or
South America
But in Eritrea
A country in Africa
