The unfinished story: A poem by Nivedita Roy


The silver sheen in the sky 
Created darkness if not found  thereby 
When in its full and vibrant look
Created ripples and the sea shook 
The tides rise high to touch and kiss their suitor 
The moon though remains the unrequited love!
Tossing their emotions in an upheaval 
It recedes slowly, to play hide and seek 
The tides follow suit, they prefer to be meek 
They long for the full moon 
They pine to culminate the passion 
The lunar disc wanes and disappears to appear  again slowly 
It plays, ruffles, and entices the sea waves 
But just flirts and moves away,
Tis the resolve of the waves to pull it closer 
‘Tis the game of the moon to evade and be the poser! 
Unrequited love remains full but unfulfilled…
