Full Moon

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



On those wintry moonlit nights In my own solitude So often I wish to peer out Of my bedroom window To have a glimpse of you, O, Full Moon! I get envious to find All worldly things, except me In the nature on the mother earth Bathed in the radiant milky light Are shining under your full splendour. And then I'm tempted To venture out of my shell For a rendezvous in open Ending an ageless wait To quench my thirst of love On the sublime moonlit night. All of a sudden then An unknown fear, an unseen barb From the ghosts of the dark past Gripping my conscience Compels me to close my only window And an utter darkness engulfs My soul, mind and heart.
