(via Pin page)
He does not know, that the world pauses for him, breath held,
Watching the art of him falling, calling it beauty While he calls himself blank.
If only you knew, how spellbound I am for you, watching the chaos of you, turning into stillness,
Watching your sorrow as it knows how to make everything shine.
(Darjeeling’21)

It hangs there, a celestial muse, draped in a veil of mystery, illuminating the sky with a brilliance that feels both inviting and unattainable. I find myself lost by its serene beauty, longing to touch its surface, to share whispered secrets with the stars that shimmers around it. Yet, in that longing, a pang of envy stirs within me, for the moon is adored by all who look up, while I remain a mere observer, tethered to the earth. I am both enchanted and tormented, caught in the delicate balance between admiration and desire, knowing that while the moon will always shine brightly above, my heart will forever yearn for its light.
will you?
