Member Poem

I lose sleep on a red dawn smile
by  indulging  our world awhile
from traffic lights and shrill beep beep
on a red dawn smile I lose sleep

With this shout to embrace my day
please don’t worry please don’t delay
heaven’s orb in the sky  no doubt
to embrace my day with this shout

And gold  rainbows like crystal tides
handsome bridegrooms and lovely brides
there’s some opulent zest it glows
like crystal  tides and gold rainbows

Warm heart beat as  crisp morning air
Bombay stalls and Middle East fare
go pamper yourself in the heat
as  crisp morning air warm heart beat
