The Phases of Love

We all in our school must have studied the phases of the moon, at least once. Of course we did. At that age, I didn’t give much thought beyond learning what was taught just to pass exams. The moon was merely another chapter in the textbook, and I forgot about it later (hehe). As the summers passed, I gradually began to understand the phases of the moon in a way most people might not.

that almost feels like peace?
where wanting grows tired
and desire learns to kneel

am I the prey of my thoughts
or am I the dead sea?

nothing I am,
if not loved by thee
