Taboo
I meant to ask You, O Moon, ages ago,
Why had You Wept black Tears that still shadow Your ethereal
Beauty?
But my finger was stopping me from speaking,
Lest the secret police of the gods condemn You to gaol
called Pluto's Oval Orbit.
Then in a Nebula outside my home, I heard a new-born baby
crying,
While gods leapt to comfort her, I SOSed to an asteroid with
a flash torch.
It hit me back with quasar!
My brother [from another planet] needed the knowledge of how
humans are born,
So he kidnapped her while they were eating sleeping pills.
When You made the darkness visible, I couldn't suffer the
beauty of them.
They were so innocent that horn of a small car made them
running for cover,
But I didn't knew that they were planning a carefully
designed accident
To crush the driver, and,
indeed, all naysayers.
As I was losing my courage,
My brother told me, you need Her, to create a star of your
own.
I chuckled, I'm Earth condemned to revolve without Sun,
She's Moon, Who doesn't know how to accept gift of Love,
How can we nurture life?
He said, ask Her why She gaze you with Her dreamy Eyes every
night whether you see Her or not.
She makes water of your oceans rise and fall ceaselessly;
She makes vampires thirty and werewolves hungry;
She makes phones ringing in every emergency center
For criminals loses their minds after they see their faces
in Her Shine –
All this to get your attention, to wake you and stupid Cupid
from deep slumber;
To be caressed by your broken figure;
To be loved by your stigmatic core;
To be hidden in your inner magma;
To be held by your surreal scaffold;
To be possessed by your demon lord;
To be blazed by your wild fire;
To be satiated by
your green lakes;
And to be completed
by your eternal completion.
Go, and don't look back
Or you'll become a laughter unleashed at a soirée.
