Blackness of Moon

You walk out from 
the bruises, like a late 
bloomer, for a clandestine 
affair with indigo pain.
                     
I break the barrier,
and teach myself, how not 
to make an incendiary bomb.
A cohort will untie the barbed wires.

Now you can tread carefully
on fire ants, undaunted.
While stitches will take care
of the woundless blood.

A hoax sends you scurrying,
to find the golden apple,
which never emerges in light.
In despair you commit a crime.

Not sure if I have fully interpreted your poem correctly, Satish, but - The poem stands on its own merits regardless! Superbly crafted piece of poetry!! My best regards. :) john
