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
