it was very bleak
the night before
the air was cold
and damp
no leaf stirred
no life aired
any living urge
thoughts scattered
emotions battered
the bride awaited
for dawn to break
passions weighed
profusions stayed
dreams were escaping
energy sweeping
no song to cheer up
no bird to sound up
no hand to hold on
no band too cold it was
the bride sat upon
the barren rock of life
with breastfull of oceans
full of tidal confusions
it was the night of darkness
night before final surrender
either life will be wedded
or the body shredded
it was stillness
killing the raging blindness
blind was the future
blind was present
past was blinking
like a blinding mission
sinking moods
stifling words
heart listens
it hearkens
to every throb
upon the surface
of earth, air and water
dawn was far off
the bride was dying
her hopes were waning
it was a wish tied to the heart
secretely prized unseen to eyes
freezing reality started dewing
and she started shivering
when truths started barking
midnight hours
jamming chords of power
every second was sinking
into the hopelss linking
transparent thoughts trailed
vanishing images hailed
the flicker died out
and silence worded out
thus ends the night before dawn.........
