Star Struck

i, thirst for nudging
the butter lamp to peep inside
the dark of a Shiva crater
                     of human suffering,

between your pain and my blood
there was ancient history,
where will you go now, no
                      light has touched you so far

the moon takes a bath inside
a sleeping volcano of perfect
aches, staring in the sad eyes
                       of a fauna

brace your window and taste
your memory, lift the quivering hands
to welcome the blank pages
                       of future
