DEV DHARAVATH Poet Free verse

THE ART OF DESTINY

The Star keeps chasing the Moon,
while the Moon longs for the Sun.
The Sun’s fire burns the Moon mercilessly,
and the heat of that wounded Moon
falls upon the star, crushing it in silence.
And somewhere, in a room darker than the night,
Destiny writes this story with an unforgiving hand—
a story where the brightest light of Love
still cannot erase the darkness.

Alison A Smith October 2, 2026 at 2:54 AM A haunting celestial allegory, where unreturned longing moves in a cruel, luminous cycle. The free-verse form flows with the inevitability of fate itself, and the final image of Destiny writing beyond Love’s reach leaves a powerful, lingering darkness.
