Moonlight Poem by Miracle Asuquo

It taped me on my eyelids
a gentle ray sneaking through my window
injecting life into my lifeless body
that layed tired and weak
it severity popped my eyes open
beholding a magnificent ray
almost blinding me

there it stood starring at me
moving to every direction of my head
stalking me!
who sent you?
were you sent by my ill wishers?
to bring misfortune upon me!
or did you forget your root home?
why make my living room the locus of your activity?
speak or you walk away

where were you during sallah?
why did you make our Islam brothers panic.
were you missing or hiding
the last time I saw you so full
was when I was a child
playing hide and seek
while my parent told tales of legends
but modernization has robbed us of such pleasures
o full moon light shine but don't wake me again from my sweet sleep.
