Togetherness!


Togetherness!

 

Temptation of one distant and far

Silent night amidst murmur of stars

Left to burn in shadow of darkness

Who holds forth, dimly lit candle or bleeding heart ajar?

 

Looked all around, looked high above

Looked by dawn, and did so to dusk

Looked beyond sights and looked afar

Alas! Looked not within, looked not by the side

Not even once, O dear! Such pity

 

Ignorance being punishment, for

Dusk offers a glimpse, to

Poor of poorest, lover’s biased art

Un-imaginative, afraid of dark

Thus corrupt, fools, who else but retard

 

But, said none her heart, said none her eyes

Cried alike that candle burning slowly by her side

For she being the one of similar fate and tried

Fading in his shadow, yet showed him his path
