When The Twilight Lingers.... Poem by lalitha iyer

When The Twilight Lingers....



It is about to end;
the day
sends its message
that the sun will set
yet,
I pretend to enjoy the sky
the beautiful evening
with lovely singing mood
the sailing ships are only dots
the sea gulls flock across the blues
the urge of waves
is in the air
the wetness in my feet says
night is about to come
slowly I can feel
the darkness will spread
and stars will peep out
of their hide outs asleep
staining redness
soaking the bags of clouds
the twilight speaks of
life and death too
it urges you to live on
the mating urge is fuelled
by the mysterious odours
and the music in the air
it fills with an ageless thirst
some roar is felt
deep in the heart
a insecure bird
it flaps its wings
to free itself
of caged cells
to flirt with emotions
up in the passion's caves
the dim lit candle
tapering slowly

yet, you know
night is secretive
it veils
the spirit of joy
in lips of wine
and longing lounges
the darkness
it fills and refills
the chase ends
prey is cornered
fate is decided
put to eternal sleep...
