Darkness is Light

(i)
People who do not see cannot be seen;
An eye that holds but the dark
Is old in early eighteen.

A man with no sight
Collides with darkness
In an eternal fight.

People who do not see cannot be seen;
Like coffee mug that is felt
In the evening canteen.
(ii)
And then she came, followed by a dog
Her hair spiked postmodern
Like that of a hedgehog.

I know her name, I know her not
I told her the story
A chain sold
And a hair clip brought.

Around the neck of the park
Was a shop for the hairclips;
Down her hair so dark
Around the neck of the park

Followed by a dog, then she came
I know her not; but I know the name!

(iii)Roads are just a confusion of foot
Bermuda triangle
Of accelerator, brake and clutch

Roads are just an alley of time
And we never cross them
Roads are keys to ever known rhyme
Of soundless anthem

(iv)
Let them know
Words find a poet
Wounded and torn and used-up,
They heal through the pen of a being
Called a ‘poet’.

Words find a poet
Poets don’t find them.
Rose is always all the same
Even if you don’t give her a name.

(v)
In the airport
See how alone can people be
In the airport
I gonna find my Annabel Lee

(vi)
O lady,
Your heart is that cold
Shaped by ice so old
Even a polar bear came wearing a jacket.
But the girl, as I saw,
Came walking half-naked.

And
Then,
We all get confused
And,

A cow came walking by
It has such a big eye
It came but it wasn’t there
It seems a cow
Vanished in the thin air
Like an old grandma’s smile
Long gone from the rocking chair.

(vii)
I have the eye
But not the sight
And I have darkness
Darkness is light.
