A Letter to Moon
I chased the butterflies
smoky, sapphire, amethyst
recorded the flutter in
a cloud conducting passion
blew it up above setting Sun
flipping moonlight's tinsel
dabbling ripples of stars
sipping galaxies, nebulae
drenched with darkness
of cosmic rendezvous
meandering magical path
it reached out to the aim,
dissolving as a frosty
flush of rosy jasmines
in moon’s milky flame
messaging to sweetheart
let’s unite on the day
death unravels life' hem.
