Moon and Her Lover
Seasoned and draped by injustice
With ribs broken oozing heart
Where grace failed upon him
Single soul left out by the creator under his umbrella
Life seemed impossible
But he was held by thin string of hope
Silent serene moon watched him gracefully above clouds
Moon kissed him to end all suffering
When Sun failed moon held him
Planted seed of trust and love into him
He used to wait for dusk
For the moon to open her arms
Moon hugged him into the vortex of cool warmth
Moon decided to be there when he needed
Moon was that divine entity whom he can count
Moon spread her wings and showed her fullness
Full of love and milk grace
He opened his eyes again like how the sunflower look upto sun each day
He breathed the cold beautiful thin air which filled love in his lungs
He smiled at the beautiful moon like a lost child meeting mother
Like Lover after war smiling at his lover
Like mother smiling after her son's surgery
He cherished the life one again
The life given by moon
Nor this young man beaming under moon light nor the celestial angels knew that moon will wan
The epic nature of life has to take place,
The serene moon started waning into the nothingness
With the gentle smile she carries always
Clouds took over and she disappeared into the nothingness where to belonged
Boy was wide awake than the guard dogs
Unable to gulp the reality of life
He looked deep into the nothingness where she disappeared
Into the inaudible hazy and pitch dark
Flowers withered
And this boy exhaled his last breath like the waning of moon into nothingness
