Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Darkness In the Light

As the night falls, 
I look out of my apartment’s window
I come down and walk on the road
Of this dreaded but beautiful place
Thinking about you again and again
Like light you were more than watts
Never diminishing.
Though it fills most of the places
My heart is empty that you used to fill
I hold back the tears and memories
No longer this bridge is empty
My tears have formed a lake
I see a ghostly reflection in it
Of who I once used to be.
I fall softly off the bridge
Drowning in my pool of sorrows.
