Moon - Dance



Unlike this solitary moon watching me awake.
Her gaze pierced almost every pore of mine.
With some borrowed silver, her hair illumined.
All the while thinking, where to draw the line?

Was there any? Or just the one in my head.
The night patiently waiting like newly weds.
That involuntary holding of hands,
And eyelids lowering, as if searching needle in sand.

Who had led the night?
Was it me or her….or moon`s trickery?
Our every breath sounded in harmony,
The one moment that controls every youth`s fury.

In little steps of two and three,
Her head and my heart lightly swayed.
That ecstatic moment relished in glee,
Who says love binds? It held us free.

On broken wings, meant to fall.
We did flee in insecurities.
Relying on emotions so ephemeral,
Bound to bring remorse and pity.

If only framed memories, be relived again
And words stand for emotions to explain.
Never an owner of things and selves,
But, enslaved by pleasures and pain.
How could I be even of myself?
While following expertise of else`s world, in vain.

So, why kiss and own the moment?
Think of one-another with contempt.
The beauty of things left unsaid,
Not just in heart, but resides in head.

No wonder you are far,
Too far away to have a chance.
If only, it does happen ever,
I could complete our Moon-Dance.
