I've fallen in love with far away exotic lands,
                                        images of elephants and slow dark eyes 
beckon me to write a romantic Hindi Doha,
                                        join me in invoking soft exotic sighs.

Vanquished in the Night 
The starless night drops down into the silent forest,
                   small creatures scurry to secure safe haven.
Peerless predators with eyes accustom to the dark,
                    stalking weaker prey with guile until craven.
