Tryst With Darkness

Tryst with Darkness Poignant I move out daily With a hope for a superior tomorrow Coz all this is just a ‘yes sir’ affair And that I think I am not ready for it yet Between the two days comes a plateful night Which understands the snarl in my silence and The gloom in my smile The only moment when I am me Is the darkness which follows the sham day- light Its loyalty seems better than the wine And promises to meet again are always right Its patience to listen to my recurrent plight Is better than the love of my life The hush in the dark is soothing And its splendor so relaxing It is a rescue in my most blue moments And comes as a partner for my angst It has the most of a perfect chum and That of a silent sentinel But I always have the day hunting me And I glaringly welcome the imminent dawn With adjusting tenor for a confident ‘yes sir’ I begin the day with a compromising stance With a hope I face the day To convene the dark again coz It believes me and my dreams That I do not belong here and The undefined mark I look for is so True and chaste The only moment when I am me is The time of tryst with darkness Ranjay Chowdhury
