Moonlight

By Arshad Mehta

You are the bearer of many secrets

You are the guardian of many nights which went sleepless You saw the smiles. , the cries and the sorrows and the peace(s) I call upon you - Oh moon , say me something about her Tell me how is she doing without me

Is she alright , is her heart at peace ?

Does she eat enough now , she used to starve herself Does she still giggle when she thinks of a funny lil joke in her head Does she still have those sleepless

nights and talk with you I hope she smiles more , As i used to try to give her a few cheap jokes But i am not there anymore for her

But you promise me that you will be there

You have to be there

I command you by the power of love

The silent love which you knew i had for her

The words which I couldn’t say

The reasons for which i wanted to stay

I hope you would be enough for her

She is innocent

She wouldn’t know that i sent you for her

Just keep her safe !
