The twilight
under which, he kissed me for the first time,
the
mysterious fire, I saw in the distance of a mountain,
the red
light to which my heart skips a beat, while my phone flashes his name,
the dim
light of my cozy room where I sit and play melodies,
the
candlelight in the darkest of some hours,
the magic of moonlight on a quiet fathomless night,
the magic of moonlight on a quiet fathomless night,
the
innumerable speck of lights, I passed on a train journey,
the
lighthouse beams sweeping across a stormy night sea,
the
temple lamps swaying in the darkness,
the fireflies hiding around
the sacred tree,
the
beam of sunlight on the budding green leaves,
the
stars crowded around the virgin night,
the rays of fog light in which, I drove
back home on a Saturday evening,
the
colorful lights illuminated on a house, night before their daughter’s wedding,
the
feel of lights inside a Theater, before the show opens,
the
length of green signal, for which, I always wait in the traffic,
the
tiny lantern, I saw at the doorstep of a hut,
and the
light of my laptop in the midst of darkness
I found
it all on the spark of his searching eyes
the man with a lantern
the man with a lantern
And, when he told , “
I am the light”
I took
my bag and followed
some lights are like that
it may be only a beam,
but it contains, billions of promises
it may be only a beam,
but it contains, billions of promises
One of the best poems by you. keep it up
