Midday Moonlight: A Poem of Jealousy, Celestial Longing & Surrender

Midday Moonlight


What did I feel

that day—

when I saw you

at noontime,

making love to the Sun

for all to see,

before the very eyes 

of a lidless moon

watching from afar,

dying of jealousy,

like me?

I fell into the arms

of that moon

amidst the whispers and caresses

of her midday moonlight.
