Oh! Moon why do you cause me to mourn

a poem by Jerome Rajan

Oh! Moon so very bright,
Like a ball.
You are milky white,
Don’t my calls.
Reach your bright light
How I wished
To sit on your crater
And get fishes fished.

Oh! Moon so very bright,
Tells me my sight
Something’s missing on you,
Thought you were a ball
But thou are a ring,
On space shining,

Oh! Moon so very bright,
Injured do you get so often
That I cannot hold my tears tight
Thought you were a ring,
But thou are a cup to drink.

Oh! Moon so very bright,
Who has bitten you, tell me right
Thought you were a cup to drink
But thou are on death’s brink.

Oh! Moon so very bright,
You are now nothing so sight
But just a crescent
Which looks not pleasant
Coz’ thou are just a boomerang.

Oh! Moon so very bright,
My heart searches for your light
Where have thy gone
Alas! leaving me alone.
