The Unicorn
A proud unicorn plays with the wind, invisible to the human eye. Self-absorbed in his own magic, he pauses for a moment at the full moon night.
The moon soars high
rivalling me in magic
My envious eyes, enraptured
Who is ‘Moon’?
His mind clouds with serious thoughts
and uneasiness, like that of a court poet,
when he looks at the slippery moon.
Some he had compared to the guiding star,
flattered a few as the brightest star
and likened others to the luminous star, but to whom
did he confer the title of moon? Ah! He had to find out
before the prom, for she was
to be his partner
Written for Ermilia’s Picture it & Write
The Lovers and the Moon
The Light Below
Bereft of his friend
He eyes the earth’s bonfire longingly
The lonely new moon sky
Moon’s Gift
It was a moonlight night
With no stars or blemishes
On the still sky
I gazed awestruck,
at the looming moon
When a shiny object slipped
from the moon, falling
into the corners of my lawn
I ran outside and beheld
a shining stone, brighter
than any diamond, that could
belong to the earth
I preserved it in a velvet cloth
in a corner of my cupboard
Touching and feeling it every day
Walking around the world with a glow
not sharing my secret
of the moon’s precious gift
One day – I took the precious stone
to my lawn,
Desirous of relishing its beauty
in the full glow of the sun
The sun immediately turned
Its full focus on the object
Glaring greedily
and the next moment
My velvet cloth was empty,
no trace of the shining stone
Where did it vanish?
Did the sun absorb it?
The betrayed moon
never graced my lawn again
I had lost its precious gift,
but the sun stays for extra hours
Mocking with its heat and immense energy
Land of Agony
It was night and night all around
the sun refused to glare at the land
and moon feared to shine
A land of failure, it was called
Cursed by nature and God
Every living thing had a poor growth
Grasses looked pale
and flowers blossomed black
The land of agony
waits for a day
the obstinate sun would turn the force
of its orange glow
the moon would take pity
and display its bright beauty
the black sky would turn blue forever
bringing with it all the good fortune
Make Way
The sun was there for everybody,
overstaying, sneering at every living
and non-living thing
As the clouds moved in
to grace the thirsty
earth with water,
the sun stared them away
When the moon tried to
bath the land with her glow,
the sun angrily glared her away
Finally, the stars pushed themselves
forward, taking with them the night,
and the sulking sun was involuntarily
pushed back
Under the Dark Branches
As I stood under the dark trees
I feared the branches
Imagining slimy creatures
And creepy insects hiding deep inside
The moon moved restlessly
Finally finding its place above the branches
Revealing flawless leaves
Sending soft breeze my way
Rendering my fears meaningless
As I felt profound peace
Flower in Debris
Wild plants and tough rocks
Stood aside in wonder
As a fragile flower
Bloomed in debris
No water to soak in
No gardener to nourish
The flower grew on its own
Blessed by the sun
And kissed by the moon
Competing with flowers in huge gardens
Determined to achieve great heights
Braving the storm, dust and negligence
