Blood Moon

By Lipa Behera

Concieving the frozen blood

         Moon winks in the sky

Night of starlight

         Nectar of cloud flower

Petals are heavy

          Even if moon is pregneant

While armory of darkness

           Trying to cover the forbidden romance

Smell of burning stars

            Spreading the smoke of jealousy

Romance on the bank 

              Of blue harbour

Cannot be hidden

              By darkness only

Its obvious blood kissed the moon

               Night slept with the moon

Child of night

               Dream of the universe
