Metamorphosis

from spy’s angel
to devil’s angel
the metamorphosis 
she got 
from her fragile beauty 
to nuisance smell 
is due to the absence
over time

the distance measured

in the fortnight scale
which never come back 
exactly in the same away
to compare again

what moon used to be

in her waxing phase

Dissolving my path

once upon in my life
there used to be the moon
floating all time in my eyes 
whether it was

 full moon  night 
or no moon day
that light disappeared now
after her space tour
till then, I am

now directionless
like a ship in a voyage
without signal
from a light house 
lost in enormity 
dissolving own path 
like that ship

in her lieu!

many poems 
she asked 
to write in her due 
to make her memory  
fresh and alive
while she is being away 
for a space tour 

while in her tour 
shall she have met
a comet 
coming from 
another galactic way 
but in her say 
a real poet 
to sway her
she could  have derailed 
from her very way

with heavy  weights 
and hard promises
of spoken words 
and their gravity
from the new poet 

from the galaxy
one can guess
she can be moved 
far far away

in her promise for
remain intact on
unspoken words

between us  

as never she returned

back from  her new heaven

there to whom  now 
she loves to stay with

I am asking

every morning
with the blades

of Bermuda grass 
with their morning dew 
but they too got flew

perhaps thinking

better not to lie
what a blue

in this life?
and, what remains then 
besides a due

 to me to write 
in her lieu!
