Poems

As the day closed, darkness deepened,

and the lights on the roads got brighter.

Some places remained dark, lights were kept low,

Voices remained hushed; hearts started beating faster.

 

The outside sound now seems feeble,

the lowlight becomes lower,

Guilt disappears in the celebration of life,

and sweat beads appear.

 

Dewdrops were settling on the soft grass outside,

Uninvited, all through the night,

Guilt appeared at the doorway stealthily,

To disappear in the road with the bright light.

 

Dewdrops and guilt will play them right,

Like they have played since eternity.

One would disappear with the daylight,

and another in the darkness of the night.
