A Full Moon Poem by nimal dunuhinga

A Full Moon

Rating: 5.0


I scribbled on a scratch paper to her
It's a full Moon to the desert here too.
Her last perfomance for the year of 2005.
Do you remember the day you told me
how many times being seperate we watched this same moon.
still watching alone in two different poles.
Is this a punishment for writing poetry?
I hear the bell tolls from my remote village temple
and the shepherd boy tunes his flute
at the river's edge.
I am bit nervous in this lonely night
arouse my hidden desires
and hope that you too victimize.
I had frequent dreams of you
and I am so sorry for holding the gravity.
The man who set foot on the moon
has he ever seen this beauty?
He brought only the fistful of sand and what else?
The round moon resembles my beloved wife.
Oh! what is the purport of seeing beauty from afar alone?
Anyway it's at least a fortune
as they all cover their faces and not to be seen here.

You have managed to create a fantasy world, but not only for yourself, you incorporate the reader into it, it's so beautiful! I love artists who are able to do this, through words and the feelings that they hold within! Elya Thorn

U used to use a deep ingredient of love and missing in this poem, the emotion is knocking my door to meet....where moon is a story teller and bear your sincere feelings...love it... But friend, as u know we are sharing same moon everywhere(if u stay in earth..joking) , so wherever ur beloved wife/children/friends are...just look the moon and bath under it's light because u and they stare a same moon, now it's like moon become the intermediate to send your both feelings...better than telephone can do! Have a great day!

We all live by the same moon, and it is a connection. But an experience by yourself is still an experience only in the mind, unless you have someone to share it with when it is happening. Lovely, sad poem. Linda
