Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

I Will Be Your Light

In the sunshine days you walk the sated life 
In dream-paved scented path of rose garden 
Along the trail of flitting butterfly you chase
The lattice of joy afloat in the charmed mind.

When the night falls with shroud of despair
The surging storm shatters your somber sky
The enchanting stars disappear behind cloud  
In trying times you desire to see rays of hope.

You crumble as a wreck in melancholic ruins
Stow the debris of life in depth of depression 
Desolation enwraps you with pall of dejection
Search vainly in grim darkness for the lost soul. 

I will kindle for you a candle with divine glow
It will shine like full moon in your sky bright  
You will rise from the debris as a new entity 
In dismal dark night when I will be your light.

Gary Radice March 20, 2022 at 1:04 PM Congratulations Subimal. I might be wrong about the poetic terminology here but 'pathetic fallacy' comes to mind here in your heartfelt poem..when weather appears to have human emotions. "Night falls with shroud of despair". Great read whether it is or isn't pathetic fallacy. :) Cheers - Gary
