The Known-Unknown

I was a Moon in a dark abyss
Wandering alone in tormented solace
As aimlessly as a fish in a 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 realm ___ mystifying yet aesthetic 

And I couldn't resist, for that Benignity
set my heart ablaze___ 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.

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.

Romantic brilliance spills from your poetic pen, Paghunda! Creative use of oxymorons illustrate the contrasting drama of the known/unknown with style and finesse.. Especially adore your last two lines! Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan
