Forbidden Love

One came out at Day
The other graced the sky at night
One with authority and other with a graceful sway
They sure did make a beautiful sight. 


Soon between them, the sparks did fly
Their love grew more profound as time went by, 
Soon, a moment couldn't pass without them longing to be in each other's arms
But meet, the could not, without causing the earth harm. 


Finally, resist they no longer could
At the end of the day and before the fall of night
Meet at the horizon they would
Turning a cruelly blind eye to the people's plight. 


Passion grew so intense that their intimacy burnt the earth
Men, women and children fled from home and hearth
The sun and moon ignited the atmosphere with their love
When finally it was time for some intervention from the one above. 


Zeus, with his trident in hand
Proclaimed loud, that their love was thereby banned,
For having caused all the mess
For the Sun's execution, he did press.


Soon from his lungs, the air did leave
The moon was now shattered, left to grieve
Nothing or no one could console her broken heart
She was crestfallen, her world was torn apart...


Moon spent her life yearning for her mate
Despite the initial anger, people felt sorry for her cursed fate
Nothing could mend the heart of the moon
Live, she did, in an eternity of gloom. 

Everyone needs someone

What are flowers, if the Sun isn’t there to open them out?

What is the sky, if clouds don’t give it a cute pout?

What is land, if it doesn’t get cleansed of its sins by the rain?

What is a shore, if waves don’t come along to wash away its pain?

 

The leaves of a tree just stay there, still and silent
Worries crowd their little stomata, making them old and bent

It’s only when the wind comes that they open their eyes to life

Rustling in the relief of the cool breeze that erases all lines of strife.

If the vase of existence falls and cracks

We need someone to come along and tape the pieces back

The cracks may show, the wounds may burn

But at least the tape would give it all the love, for which it yearns

My life, alone, is like a dark room with no light

I need you to come in and set all things right

It’s only with you, sunshine, that I can chase away, of sorrows, the night

Coz it’s only when I’m with you that everything’s fine again, everything’s bright J

 

God made not one man, but many

So tat we can help each other live, alleviate sufferings if any

Everyone needs someone to love them and who they can love to every bone,

Everyone needs someone to call their very own.
