The Moon and me


In the dark night , sitting alone
when i was peeping out of the window
I heard some tapping above my head
Oh! and what I see
The blue and round shining moon
gazing and smiling straight at me
putting a questioning glance at me
"why are you in a pensive mood ?"
.
I tried to manage a faint smile
nothing...nothing....just like that
Really nothing.....just like that
A drop of water fell on my knees,
was it mine from the moist eyes
or the wind has brought
carrying far from the altair -
my lost star ; somewhere in the sky
.
My eyes searched again to see
but to found just the star less sky
And the moon above the clouds
with his silent murmurs in my ears
"The clouds are high to hide the stars.
Till the rain cleanses the sky,
I'll be there beside your window
Giving company to each other."
.
"But why you are here
and not in the sky ?"
He whispered softly barely to hear
"Shhh shh ! ; I was running to hide
away from the clouds
when i heard your heart moan
I thought you need a company
Can you hide me in your heart ?"
.
I opened up my both the arms
to envelope the moon
within my bosom
to fill the empty space of heart
and moon begins to cast its spell
spreading love and peace within
soothing down inflated senses
bringing cheer to my lips.

Hi Manjri.... That's a nice piece that you have written....but why so much of melancholy, may I ask??? Perhaps I shouldn't...these are private sublime thoughts that are yours and yours alone to cherish and to bring warmth and cheer to your deep bosom....

Was trying my hand at writing...lol
