BIRDS OF PARADISE
From your name can we surmise
You’ve flown here from Paradise
A land that is chockfull of plenty
Where no one’s beak
Ever goes empty?
Or do you dwell with us on earth
Blending in for what it is worth
Into our world to do your thing
Sing in the rain
Or go dancing?
Your contours are so beautiful
Your reasoning is irrefutable
But in looks you are so unreal
Is that too a part
Of the deal?
Mesmerising to behold
You enthral young and the old
A vision ethereal to apprise
Us all of angels with
Heavenly eyes!
Poem by Raja Changez Sultan
