Standing in Place

The forbidden candle
burns alone in the swarm of
clouds. I read your eyes again.

I take off the sparks
to write a poem in black sky.
Why does the world revolve around love?

There was no trending.
It was auto-hurt to prove the fidelity
of the moon amidst the galaxy of sins.

The forbidden candle is the Sun which lights the world with knowledge. Fidelity makes one get hurt in love which is the centre of man’s being. Still one has to have fidelity not to be sinful.
