There is more to every story,

Or so I have heard them saying.

I always gaze into the infinity of the sky,

Observing the sky change its hues at different times of the day,

Seeking answers to a particular paradoxical question -

"What about them?"

I think in a state of haze.

Are they really happy?

Maybe we are misunderstanding everything;

Maybe they are in the wrong places;

Maybe, they want their fates to change.

Maybe, all that we perceive is them deceiving us.

Maybe, out there is an enigma

Full of anomalies and conundrums -

An obscure love story, 

of Apollo and Selene.

Maybe they are in love

But can’t make it past their differences;

Maybe they are lost,

And have strayed from the path

That leads them to each other.

 
Maybe the dusk and dawn

are their surreal infinities;

Maybe they set and rise,

not for the world,

but for each other.

Maybe the stars glittering,

in the oblivion of the dark night,

are the tears that Selene sheds.

Maybe, Apollo makes the sun burn,

in his jealous rage, 

since everyone but him, can admire her grandeur.

 
Maybe the eclipse is the time when

One’s love overpowers the other’s

To create an amalgam of untold stories,

None of us will ever hear.

Maybe those spots on the moon are the impressions 

Apollo’s lonely heart has suffered.

Maybe when the thunder sound fulminates 

In the foggy, clouded sky,

It is Selene crying to the heavens, mourning in agony. 

When the sun gleams through the canopies,

We rejoice, Placing it adjacent to many heavenly pleasures.

But maybe, above there, past the clouds

the two just hurt inside. 

Maybe they are grieving,

Mourning wordlessly,

Alone in the wilderness of their kingdoms,

Unnerved at the thought

of how long it would take for everything to fall into place. 

'Romeo and Juliet' was a classic literature love, 

But this is so much more -

Love that is pure and heavenly;

Love that is silent, 

Yet speaks out so loud and clear.

Love, not the whole world could witness.
