When the Moon touched

Can't forget the day,

When the Moon touched me in its special way;

Its white rays wrapped me in its embrace,

Slowly its love replaced,

All my ethical ways…

I dive in the sea,

Lit by my Moon’s divinity;

I care for none today,

Not even the warned uncertainty.

The forecasted storm is at the horizon,

But also there I see, my Moon waiting for me.

I swim in a meditating trance to reach my destiny,

My tired body soon declared a mutiny

“Just a little more”- something in my heart pleads…

“Here I come, please wait for me”;

Behind each desecrating tide I see my Moon recede.

“Don’t leave me now; I left the land for you”

 I exert more, on Him my gaze glued.

“You have to go back”, He smiled and said,

Ahh! Such innocent cruelty, who won’t be misled!!

“I am the King of this darkened sky,

You were but what, just a mortal ally.

Your outrageous desires need to be tamed.”

With a kiss He took away my heart, and left me maimed….

The moon has once again adjusted itself outside my window today,

Its rays seep in my room and gently touch my face, in its own special way.

Now my heartless soul no more recognizes these emotions that alight;

But something in me, still lingers to the withdrawing curtains of moonlight.
