THE DARK EDGE.. Moitreyee Raju

 

When I in the nocturnal wallow
a deep sense of inertia follow,
and as i reach that pleasurable state so profound
the world then feels like my playground.

The nightide moon
a savoury for my poetic bloom!
It's glimmering glistening façade
forever captivated a rhymesters heart.

But is this all to you O Moon?
What about your far edge?
That distinct, different, discreet edge..
that glade that never gets displayed!

It's the dark edge of you O' Moon!
But must I call it your human edge?
An edge..
where imperfection stands tall, with all its gravity,
where pompous vainglories, create edgy stories,
where avarice, envy, lust and gluttony,
share the same paternity!

O Moon, your moonlit face
is an epitome of grace;
But why is your far face such a disgrace?
Cant beauty be churned in that face?

The human world
though mired with complicacy,
strives and derives titanic beauty,
even in this vast ocean of complexity!!
But you...?
You belie your beauty, O' Moon!
The humane edge of humanity
defeats your grandiosity!!
