Luna

Speaking of romance...The Moon is that silent sailor...

Luna………………By Sami Khalil

Speaking of romance…

The Poem:

Speaking of…

That silent sailor

Sailing upon dark notes

Owing its debt to the sun

Beaming in complexions of castaways

Slitting darkness till the last border lines

When the serene wheels of dawn prayers turn.

 

Speaking of…

The only progeny

To the first virgin mother

Land of eventual wanderings

Fusing waves of textured people

To colors of clay and clod belongings

Where anthems translate patois of flooded stragglers.

 

Speaking of…

This petticoat companion

That night ferry in the inky sky

Languishing in cardered memories

Of travelers clad in restive seasons

Under the silvery shafts of starry lights

Where the ticking clock on the horizon kindles images.

 

Speaking of…

Those who are cleaved between the heart and the moon.

This is exquisite. The gentleness of tone and the way the words flow have a timeless, classic feel. This could have been written two hundred years ago by one of the great English Romantics. The last full stanza in particular is absolutely stand out in my opinion.

Beccy.

That silent sailor sailing on dark notes, this petticoat companion, those who are cleaved between heart and moon. Such a lovely gentle poem - this child of lesser light can inspire terror or beauty. In this case Luna has done the latter. A beautiful write, Sami!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I have always found the moon romantic in a mysterious way… a very cool concept you used in showing the moon as a longing for a distant love.
