MY MOMENTS <br /> <br />AS Moon I enjoyed my moments <br />In spite of my waning fortnights <br />When Romeo blamed my light <br />As bellowing his desperate romantic ember <br />I smiled at his love-sick plight <br />When Omar Khayyam did plaudit <br />That I heartened his poetic craft <br />I did inflect a wholehearted lilt <br />When a sneaky burglar cursed that <br />My fully waxed nights played a spoil sport <br />Always, on his professional pursuits <br />I laughed aloud with a glistering taunt <br /> <br />But what I saw tonight <br />Depressed my spirits, beyond thought <br />Here is a beggar in the street <br />Running without food, his third night <br />Bleary eyed; half-swooned and <br />Sinking further into a blissful faint <br />Pushed his feeble hands aloft <br />To catch me! Thinking that <br /> I am a well-roasted ‘roti’ to eat <br /> I wept, wept and wept my heart out! <br /> And left in shame the night abrupt <br />To hide behind the cloud curtains! ! <br />Sathya……..<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-moments-3/
