6- The Moon Was Burning

Rating: 4.8


Believe it or not it's true.
Colour spectrum in motion witness.
The full Moon transformed into a verse-
'O HONEY, I LOVE ONLY YOU'
This verse was the moon!
People of the developed capital city astonished!
What is this! What’s going to be happened!
No correct answer has been recorded.
Nothing prologued.

Though the verse lovely, romantic.
Most of the people frightened!
Lover mind bewildered!
Intelectuals puzzled!
Reasoning stopped!
Venomous snakes slowly slithering into holes!
Gravity of the earth trembling!
Electron were thinking
Not to orbit charged nucleus!
Religious men and women praying-
'God! forgive us and save us! '

One hour later,
The real event took place!
Very quick like a filmy scene.
A refulgent star came down,
Just below the verse-moon.
Burning! Burning! Burning!
A living inferno!
Blazing the verse!
Blazing moon!
Blue colour tongue of fire,
Alike celestial nymphs.
Dancing hands uplifted!
What a terrible fire feast!

Most of the people frightened!
Lovers mind bewildered!
Intelectuals puzzled!
Reasoning stopped!
Venomous snakes slowly slithering into holes!
Gravity of the earth trembling!
Electron were thinking
Not to orbit charged nucleus!
Religious men and women praying-
'God! forgive us and save us! '

The blazing feast ended just before the dawn.
And only they, who were endowed with introspective,
Realized the event!

The panorama vanishing gradually.
Before the last moment,
Burning verse-moon emitted-
‘I am always within you my dear! ’

Stirred
I just felt affection for the moon and the star!
Few drops of tears mine touched the earth!

It was nothing but a lie burning!

‘The heart, fountain of desire, vanishes’ –Lorca (El corazo`n fuente del desco se desvanece.
