You ask me to write

Of the moon and the stars


And all I can think of is

Those walks we took in the midnight bazaars


Of a town that came alive

Only when the skies were drenched in black


And among the spices

And the carpets, we found that silly knick knack


An unremarkable object that cost us a long chat

And all the small change we had in our pockets


And remember where we bought

Those cheap silver coloured star shaped lockets


I wonder where mine lies

That locket, the bazaar, the night


I forget what we talked of...

In the shadows, when we hid from the moonlight.
