The Known-Unknown

I was a Moon in a dark abyss Wandering alone in tormented solace As aimlessly as a fish in bowl Glumly glad within my alien abode In a spur ___ you appeared from Nowhere A blackhole pulling me towards its angelic snare Rearranging the space time fabric ___ To a whole new world ___ mystifying yet aesthetic And I couldn't resist, for that Benignity set my heart ablazed ___ filled its valence shell Entwined with you I will step in eternity soon Hoping, your floral rugs bear stars and moons..!! ~_________________________________~

A blackhole snare but angelic! "In hope that your floral rugs have moon and stars " what a beautiful finish! completely submerged was I, in a surreal feeling! The poem fully satiated my reading soul! The lines gave me the feeling that she or the place is something dark, but the last line says, you finally accept it! A beautiful poem. Thanks - Marshall.

You write as the great Ghazal poets, wow! Blessings, Salaam, Shalom shalom Shanthi Om. I have been made aware "she" may rearrange my space-time fabric. Thanx again P. Zahid.

Really? I did try writing a Ghazal on Silent One's request for his competition. But that was disastrous... Lol. Anyway, thank you for the kind reviews. I'm honoured.
