A poem by Syemanti Roy

Two figures standing near a glowing black hole in space, symbolizing eternal reunion and cosmic longing

Lucifer

We met after
Two thousand years or more or an eternity,
You looked the same astonishingly,
You pulled me towards
The farthest black hole,
Oh Lucifer!
We don’t have to be together
To feel the whole.

You pulled me in nothingness,
The eclipses blinded me,
Like nothing can ceaese the togetherness,
I wanted to be free,
But the blue star binded me
By gravity,
Oh Lucifer!
I don’t need to sacrifice myself
To feel your entirety.

I tried to push myself back
To get back to home,
My joints were bruised
And veins were cut.
The gravity was enormous.
The nebulae clouded the vision.
I had to get back,
I have seen enough of our collision.
I pushed and pushed
Followed the asteroids
To gain the power back again
To avoid being ambushed.
I looked back at you,
Said, “I need to leave now, Love!”
You watched me leaving for the last time
And vanished behind the eclipse, sublime.
Oh Lucifer!
Why did it has to happen to us?
We knew that we couldn’t be together,
Not for this eternity and further.
