Darkness

Chandra B. Bhandari

Darkness is the reason I love you,night!
For your comeliness isn’t the light
But the pitch darkness ever denied is,
And my eyes eye that with no ill at ease.

Burning,very burning is my desire for thee
Likely of setting fire on a deep dark sea,
And yet this isn’t the key that drove me crazy
But the predilection for darkness could be.

Passing the sultry sun of the day out
Of mind,I climb down with merry shout
To bedeck you with kisses without doubt
Of being shunned as a passionate naught.

But I wonder what you exactly cry for
When we’re who we,in person, pine for.
