A Nightmare Of Night Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

A Nightmare Of Night

Rating: 4.0


The banished night by the poetic hands
Letters come as moonlit in the writing
Window curtain is dancing by slim breeze
Silent all over with nightly darkness
Me and pen busy in plough the brain field
A fist slogan comes with the breezy tone
I'm hearing with my dim lit in root heart
Slogans arrive as dacoit's knife on ear
And in ascetic like pen-paper's realm
-"Give us your two hands; Give us your two hands! "
-"Do not want your life; Give us your two hands! "
Night dark carry the knight of wanton plight
Before eyes stones come as the stormy rains
Wounded window glass; no room for us flee
Written memoir, pen-paper, all are thrown
They come ghostly and threaten me to leave,
To leave the love for hand and pen-paper,
To be sage of day only in this world
Sharpen saw with angry red eyeballs come
Grasp my hand tightly and snarl in cutting
"Oh my hands! " Shouting I'm in shocking voice
Midnight, I wake, the gecko moves backward
