Poem :: You shine like the moon

Bright and beautiful you shine

Like the moon in the night

Your pseudo chastity, reflecting

In its false glow.

Oh! You shine like the moon.

You stole the glory of the Night

Your halo broke its might

She suffered long and cried

No star ever in its sight.

Empty and alone in the galaxy

When the Night called for its love

It came upon the monster, moon

A parasite all the way through.

And cold was its vacant luminescence

Like your heart and its selfish desires

Self-serving, feeding off the sun

Projecting an image of sublime conscience.

Oh! You shine like the moon.

May glorious be your days, you fool

Who exists only in dark gloom

And, know this with certainty

The Night lives on without your bloom.

-Asra
