This is the first poem of any kind that I have written. Actually I think it would be unfair to call it a poem, but to be more precise these are just lines that have no rhyming scheme or poetic words. I have attempted to mix a little bit of reality with a little bit of my imagination to write this. Happy Reading!

 I went to the beach once

Yes that place which is filled with people and garbage regardless of the time and date

Where sand castles galore 

Horse rides are shunned from the eyes of animal activists 

But that night was special

A tiny portion of the sea was glistening under the full moon

Leaving the rest of us in darkness

Kids were screaming with each wave

Which foamed under my feet

My feet dug deeper into the sand with each one of them

A father was dunking his son into the water 

Perhaps his idea of bonding

Something hit my foot

Maybe a skull or an oyster with pearl

Oh no it was just a shoe

But all sound and air vanished

As my eyes were fixed deep into the blessed part under the moon

There came a ship breaking through the mist

With conch sounds heard at a war and at a festival

It was so huge that I was afraid that the moon was going to fall off from the sky into my hands

I looked around to see if anyone else noticed this majestic, way-too-visible ship 

But everyone around me were frozen like Greek statues with clothes flying with the wind and faces with a peculiar perplexity 

The ship was filled with people like the ones in fairytales with a  smile plastered on their face and a divine halo around them 

Dressed in white satin robes with folds like the ones on a metamorphic rock

Just as I though the ship was going to topple over by hitting the ground

It started rising

Then their faces changed

From a frown their face muscles stretched to a grimace

And soon they were spitting on us

All of us, humans where being spit on by them

No longer dressed in robes they wore a black rag 

Eyes blood shot and hair matted 

Their faces angry like a political mob

And they were muttering something 

I tried to make it out before they went out of my sight

Like prophesying they looked at me in the eyes and whispered “the time has come”

And soon I was floating higher and higher leaving this mortal earth 

I rose high above and joined the ship

The moon and the ship became 

One and the same
