Ode To The Moon Poem by Shankaran Kutty

You sneak in through the balcony door
I have left it open so wide
And then I find you there no more
Pray where did you run and hide
Here I am struggling to sleep
Then why do you shine so bright
Let me slip into my slumber deep
So don't shower me with your light
Please won't you go so far away
Let the stars alone twinkle
Go and come back some other day
Your presence does me so rankle
But still I know, the presence of the moon
On a dark starless night, is for all a boon
