The Veiled Moon

This one has been published in my college magazine and also in a local newspaper. It was written two years ago. Definitely my writing has improved since then....

The night was once so beautiful

Shining with the radiant moon

I used to stare at her,

Her graceful visage that shone

But veiled now you are!

By the bulky sky-scrapers!

I wonder if I can see you again!

From my window, I peer in vain.

You’re lost now I reckon

Among the ocean of buildings

I am now suffocating

There’s no air to breathe in!

And your light in which I found hope

Vanished into darkness in where I grope

You once lit up my room

My aura, even my mind

Now they’re left in the dark

As melancholy engulfs them behind

I sit here waiting for you to come out…

I know exactly how you feel! I used to stare at the moon for hours together,lost in contemplation...but now,there are huge gray buildings obstructing the view..:(
