MOON BEAMS

 

 

I AM LYING IN STUPOR

GAZING AT THE CEILING

 

TRIGGERED BY THE MESSAGE

FIVE DAYS TO DAY

PAPERS PILING ON THE DOOR

MAILBOX OVERFLOWING

UNANSWERED PHONES, MESSAGES

 

I LIE UNDEFINED

IN STATE,

NO FOOD, NO LIQUOR

SOME WATER, SOME JUICE

FUZZY  MIND, FREEZING REASON

 

FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN

THE MOUNTAIN, SLIDING INTO THE VALLEY

LOSING ALL CONTROL

FRICTIONED SKIN ON FIRE

IN A WORLD BETWEEN DREAMS

AND REALITY

 

FLOWERS WHITE FLOWERS

FOG OF MUSK

FEELING LIKE A FEATHER

FLOATING IN A LAKE

ON LOTUS LEAVES

 

MEMORIES STORED IN CARDS

STAND LIKE TOMBSTONES

ON THE WINDOW SILL

TREASURED DESIRES

VANISH ON  WISPS OF AIR

 

MOON BEAMS PLAYING ON EYE LIDS

SHAKE  ME UP

I SEE A HALF MOON IN THE WINDOW

WOLF SHADOWS STIR ON THE HORIZON

I CAN HEAR THE WOLF RISING

TIME TO ACT, LEAVE NETHER WORLD

MUST MOVE ON,

‘GOOD BYE,’

 WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER THOUGH!!

 

NO MORE VACILLAIONS

THE WOLF IS GALLOPING NOW

MUST CLEAR THE WINDOW SILL!

MUST REPLY THE MESSAGE

FIVE DAYS OLD

  ‘YES’ ‘YES’ ‘YES’

  ‘I LOVE YOU TOO!’ COME

  SPEND THE FULL MOON

  IN MY ARMS!

(TILL THE NEXT MESSAGE ARRIVES)

KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR

Lying comatose

in twilight of consciousness

moon light filtering through

half parted curtains

cool breeze whisking away

slivers of sweat

 

From nowhere

a dark form looms above

in a flash the raised spear

strikes deep

searing hot steel finding

its undefended mark

thrust after thrust

after thrust

 

Writhing limbs

entangled in quest

for victory

immortal thirst to conquer

unrelenting unequal combat

as always Déjà vu of ecastasy,

 

Lo behold!

soaked in glistening sweat

the Knight felled by his own spear!

Spewing white blood!

so defenseless so

vulnerable.

My Knight without armour.
