A BRIGHTER NIGHT


This poem was written by me when I was only a gullible teenager, romanticising the bitter-sweet feelings of harmless 'little tragedies'.

A BRIGHTER NIGHT




Confused in my misery,
At last  I behold light.
Having felt the gloom of dusk
Arrives a brighter night.


Lavish, Grand - it need not be
With full moon and birds that sing.
Enough will be candlelight
If some joy, to me it brings.


None on earth may ever know
How much pain my each smile costs.
Battling with my vanquished self,
Pretending that I never lost.


Only GOD and my heart knows
My soul keeps searching for that light.
For I have seen more gloomy dawns
Now I pray for brighter nights.
 
THIS ONES FOR MALINI............................
THANKS FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT, FRIEND.
