The Twilight Time Poem by Ramesh Joshi

The Twilight Time.

When I look at my window
outside, feel the twilight time
looking bright growing dim
slowly yielding to darkness.

The day on the closure note
declaring the sunrays falling
heralding the eventful drama
entering last scene fast ending.

They cling to opening scenes, the
charming events of youth prevail,
dreaming abundant pleasure retain
enjoyments, sense pleasure ending?

Lo! pity, desperate struggle to retain
the powdered face in paints exposed.
dwindling in the wrinkled face withered,
lost in perpetual decree ends in despair.

When sunrise shine we welcome, rejoice
why to lament when sunset shines sublime?
