DARKNESS AND FIRE

SJSangeetha

 

 

S.J.SANGEETHA

 

Darkness spreads fast like wild fire at night,

The full moon, so benign, showers its light.

 

            A frosty fragrance tickles the young night

            And a sudden lightning scratches her breast!

 

The young night asks the streak of light,

“Without my consent, why you touched my heart?’’

 

            A question, un-answered hung in tranquil chill

The moon stood witness, lone and still.

 

The darkness murmurs to her-self

“The blitzkrieg burns me and cast a spell,

 

            Yet the sheets of darkness fall itself

            Trees and beasts slumber, while I remain awake!”

 

Fiery fire ball rolls to her fast

“Who are you?’’ asks she, in fright.

 

            “Friends forever we are “answers “don’t panic!”

            We play an eternal game in cosmic wheel

 

And will remain together, as if in spell

I will paint bright pictures on you

 

            And light the lamp of eternal love”

            The fiery flame loses its power

 

 In twilight, they stood still, together.

 The radiant  dawn with rosy hues

 

            Paints a brilliant picture in expanse

The shadows and flames stood hand in hand,

 

In the canvass of time, they both expand!

    I did .. Neville 🌻
