Wish Upon the Moon

 

Men always wish  to

 reach the magnificent blue canvass 

And then the exquisite full moon 

Alas! Man succeeded time and time  again,

Is there anything impossible with men? 

To reach the heavens, and 

to touch the farthest domes 

Are the games of those enthroned.

 

Since time immemorial Man is awed 

with this luminous serenity,

Hung in there with shimmering ethereal beauty.

In ancient times the lover promised," just give me your sweetest yes to marry me, 

I will  pick this aglow and will offer it to you my beloved!"

To the wonderment of the young betrothed

Believing the sweet nonsense of this one who adored.

 

One day man had reached this beaming artistry

And surprised that up there this celestial scenery

is pitch black void of  illumination 

Gone the  excitement as it turns out the illuminated face ,

has been borrowing it's silvery beauty and grace 

And will never outshine the one that creates its splendid reflection.

 

Yet, it's still magical,  soothing one's soul

Taking man's  breath away as it catches sight of in the night,

Hypnotizing our eyes with its bright smile,

In every child's dream mesmerizing and delightful,

Wishing to touch the face of this known enthralling beauty.

Moonlight

 

In the sky the moon spreads its beauty.

Behind the thin clouds, the night seems even more imposing, a magic.

He sends us his light and smiles at us. I fell so in love with it

 

that I sat down to write an authentic poem about it, to record what the night gave me

that too!

JOHN KARAJOLI

 

By the moonlight

 

 

Berlin, at the Extrablatt bar let's get lost in the dark, in the clusters of the Galaxy, in the magic of the night, embraced by old melodies

in the footsteps of tango and love. Strangers, who fell in love for one night, at a party
of the stars.

SO CHARMING

 

The crescent moon,

The rotund moon,

The scintillating moon,

The beautiful moon,

Appears and disappears,

At the horizon, far afar.

 

For a child, it’s a myth

But for the youth ....

Any time of the month,

It gives a love warmth;

The middle or old aged

Everyone adores, unbiased.

 

A moon-lit night scintillates

Make our musings oscillate,

In thoughts, it reverberates,

In action, it never hesitates,

What a real delight ....

So charming to every sight.

The Moon

 

I'm the moon, you're the sun,

Both are lovers and beloved

In the night, under a sky 

We both hug and fly

 

 

Come what may, they attract me 

Shines in my eyes like sunrays on dancing waves

People awake and talk with another

There they are to see.

 

We are loyal and faithful

Like the water and soil 

We appear for some time

To beautify the plant is our goal.

 

Either I or the moon 

Engulfing like a soul 

Our physical form can be seen 

But the love will pour soon.

Moonlit Muse

 

Oh, you moon!

For the muses, you're the boon!

I can smell your perfume alfresco.

I can behold your serene face.

I can envision your shiny teeth,

Making the celestial canopy blush.

You are ever there for us,

So we won't rush.

 

Millions of verses dance beneath

Your glow.

Woman, you're the mirror to

My very soul.

A solitary sentinel gleaming, oh,

Forever jocund.

Woman, you're indeed the goddess of

Every night.

See your face aglow with the solace

Of ancient quills.

We love you every time, every day,

African queen.

LOVELY MOON

 

 

In the velvet cloak of night, you reign supreme,

Like a wistful wondering eye

A silent sentinel, a tranquil dream

With a gentle glow, you cast your silver sheen,

Enchanting all beneath your serene regime

Oh lovely moon, with your tranquil face,

You watch the world with quiet grace

In your soft light, shadows dance and play,

As you guide lost souls along their way

But no longer shall it be,

Your beauty is timeless, your presence serene,

A beacon of hope in a world unseen

Upon the greyness of a million homes,

In your tranquil embrace, hearts find solace,

As they bask in your ethereal grace

Though distant, you touch us with your light,

A reminder of the infinite in the night

Oh lovely moon, in your celestial sway,

You whisper secrets only stars convey

Though the heart still be as loving,

In the vast expanse of the night's embrace,

You weave a tale of time and space

A silent witness to love's sweet tune,

Forever adored, oh lovely moon

It lands on Earth to look at me

And has released from day's embrace.

A Sufi Moon

 

 at dawn, alone, I set the sail

the ocean, a faint hypnotic rhythm

creation's harmonious symphony

my body moved, yet my spirit slept

a drop of water, an infinite sea

 

at noon the sun was in its glory

"oh god in heaven, what have I done?"

the rope still tied to the mooring dock

I journeyed far, but traveled not

beyond the lengths of these earthly bonds

 

I now relinquish the navigation

and overboard, pass the turning wheel

surrendering to a foreign justice

a presence worthy of my veneration

to gain the freedom of a mission

of souls together in solitude

 

one mirror, shattered, becomes a million

reflections of an image true

a view of what cannot be seen

as night turns over, in a grave

that vision as it looks at you

 

the captain of this vessel, now

commanding forth the invisible wind

"safe passage" cries a human voice

an outstretched arm from measured depths

a sign of peace, and mercy's quest

Sip of Life

 

Come, share this sip

Of life with me

Let us bask in tranquility

Forgetting our notions

Of how all should be.

The warm Sun is free

Moonrise is nigh

Stars are scattered

Beyond the sky

We are here now, you and I.

For who can set a price on hope

From distractions and delusions,

Let us elope.

And marry ourselves unto the winds

Until our time to begin again.

Moon At  Soul Mat

  

 

Moon the same, in the courtyard 

Turns right and seizes me 

By lean swinge of cool match 

Becks to nexus hug of bygone notes 

Yea, by her arty lace rooted in trekking flair. 

 

Moon the same, in my lone land 

Steps at line with her chained woo 

Heeding to suit to wandering bare state of my single self 

Pairing to subtle bent of hide and seek game 

She tickles to few root of my unshared self. 

 

Moon the same, in the serene part of cell site 

Rises, citing pose of my lingering mate 

Pats by dye of quizzical guessing 

Imbues math line of criss cross roll 

And drives me to track of solitary tend or to quiet coastline. 

 

Moon the same, always shines at my hut site, 

Steering creep canto of love 

by matched stride.
