(“Heavenly Enchantress” is an improved version of Lord Byron’s poem: She walks in beauty… As such, my poem, a Hindi version लावण्यपूर्ण रात्रि अभिसारिका (Lavanya poorn Ratri Abhisarika) was recited in the Bi-Centennial Anniversary of Lord Byron in the Newstead Abbey, Nottingham, U.K., on 27th July 2024, which was highly appreciated… Now, it’s the English version of my poem…)

Beneath star-studded skies, where clouds do sleep,
She walks, a vision of enchantment, pure and deep.
Her eyes, like sapphires shining bright and blue,
Reflecting the beauty of her soul, in all its hue.
*
Her lofty raven tresses, shining in the dark night,
Wave gently with a puff of breeze’s, with a delight.
Her face, a radiant canvas, like a celestial shrine
Expresses thoughts so sweet, pure and truly divine
*
With rainbow hues, her charm’s complete and bright,
A delicate balance that our souls greet with delight.
Her gentle glowing cheeks like sunrise aura in the sky,
Reflect the purity of her heart; so full, and never dry
*
Her smiles, a winning radiance that’s cosmic and rare
Reveal a mind at peace, with love oozing right there
A heart that’s innocent, with love that’s pure and kind,
Voice so melodious, with a rhythm that blows the mind.
