Debjani Mitra Poet Rhyme

Night's Allure

Thoughts drifting into night's allure
 pace up and down, as day retreats.
 A dark cloak of blackness saturates
 slumbering towns and desolate streets.

 Halcyon of ambient moon enshroud 
 hypnosis on drooping drowsy eyelids.  
 A sullen soul in shadow of it's splatter 
 odyssey of sorrow skates and skids.
  
 Modulated in weight of volatile voices 
 that quarrel caged in raucous clamour,
 waves of night usher beauty of dreams 
 An ocher sky of stars glitter in glamour. 

Far from the melee of neon billboards   
footsteps of stars in horoscope unsure.  
Time waits for a black sea to turn blue
with thoughts drifting into night's allure.
