A BLACK MOON



A moon shines,

Coz the Sun shines-

It is somewhere out there and shinning,
Offering illumination and silent Life!

This is the rule so far
Nobody denies it.
One is the giver and the other, the receiver ;
When one stops giving,
The other has no option left but to perish…

And one day, the Sun decides to close the windows
And shuts the blinds tight.
The Moon is blind now-
Can’t see a single thing!
So, she muses, ...Oh, the very Sun
Had closed its doors long before,
Now it’s the turn of the windows…
I am a black moon, ah!
She screams…

Hearing her screams,
The Sun grunts and says-
"Oh, why brood over darkness and cry in pain…
When, now is the time to taste something new!
Look, how I’ve taken a liking towards Poison
And will take a drop a day:
The Nectar has became very boring, you see."

The dark Moon shudders with fear
Hearing all this…
But then she forces a smile
And jumps into her abyss…
"Okay," she says, "No problem with me-
I can sense my orbit and can feel your pull-
So even if I don’t shine any more..
I will keep on revolving around you…
And let eternity stand as a brides-maid beside me….."
