Harun Al Nasif - Celestial Rhapsody

Once my heart set itself on the flame of celestial rhapsody
with the flutter of its luminous wings of lustre
it triggered a turbulence in the firmament
smashing the sphere of stellar waves it went wild in its axial fury
amid the waltzing gala of swimming stars.

Henceforth
growing into a fireball and then a giant supernova
in a fête of transit blowing itself up
it erupted joyous scarlet ecstasy of its forge
exhausting exuberance inexorably in the eternity
it went through a cryptic crunch to be solidified with the gravity
and reduced to super-dense ultra-heavy lump of a dwarf

Henceforth
absorbing all the neighboring cosmic venom
in the niche of time turning into blue-necked charred carcass
of a deceased star
with the mummy of memory
wrapped up in a sachet of sorrow in the chest of its breast
it bears the ignominy languishing eon after eon
lying beneath the frozen light with eyes wide open
the in-satiate fossil of the sanguine soul of an obscure lover.
