Brilliantly Moonstruck

"..hung up... its all in your mind...."

They say, the mind is the most powerful of all creations... I cannot forget that dialogue from "Om Shanti Om"...

"agar tum sacche dil se kuch chaaho, to sarri kayanaat tumhe us se milane me jut jaati hain"

You are the moon in my universe
Brightest and steady among the many specks of sparkling light
One really has to go around you to realize there is more than the heart melting charm
There is another façade; withered because the sun failed to make it warm
As real as the shiny & pleasant visage, and its mesmerizing calm

Your aura transcends great distances, it is magical
To call you a mere light in darkness would be farcical
As I comprehend you little by little, I do feel
The darkness that surrounds you will never shroud your appeal

To possess the real but elusive you for even a fleeting moment I clamor
It is your inner beauty that struck me deep
I admit though, that I couldn’t get over your glamour
I tried to bask in the reflections you cast on placid waters
Clasped you in my palms, but you danced your way out on the ripples
Those moments have passed but I still remember the smiles and the sniffles

You are around at times bright and a sometimes a little less so
There are eclipses and days when you are a no show
Those are but little episodes, nevertheless, you are out there, that I know

Your brilliance belongs to you, not to any sun
If the sun shone all the time, there would be no darkness
But that was not to be for a good reasonIt is your shine that illuminates my heart, to me that is the foremost one
