Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Verse

Moonstruck

Somewhere yonder
When the fiery sun 
sets for the day,
And the night, 
lurking in the 
wings of darkness,
Sneaks upon the weary world
with its murky glee,

I go out with a crystal jar
and collect glowworms.

With stars for my eyes
and winds for my wings,
I surf upon 
the waves of the seas
to rope in the footloose Moon
and bring her home 
to set me ablaze
with her warm silvery glow!
