You Asked Me To Come To The Moon Poem by Dev Anand

You asked me to come to the moon.
i wandered and wandered till i reached the moon.

i saw a river and a tree full of lovely leaves.
How shall i then cross this river?
It is midnight.
The moon shines in all its glory.
I hoped my lover is on the other side of the river
waiting for me near the moon.

Oh! how much i desired to cross the river?
I sat on the shore and cried.

Then i heard footsteps.
It was your rhythm of walking.
You came.
You hugged.
I cried and fell
on your chest filled with love.

You were not wet.
I asked how did you cross the river
from the side of the moon
to me on this shore without being wet.

Then you smiled.
and told me
I love you my dearest.
After the Almighty God
You are my dearest.

Then the glorious moon
shone inside my soul
in all its glory.
