Blank Darkness Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Hades being the very core,
Giving birth to the darkness blank,
Sinking alike, left unknown, a Grecian whore,
Towards the ceaseless ‘boum' of Forsterian rank.

Enlightening all darkness is an idea shocking,
Must it be there to make nature's whim safe,
Even the least challenge ends up in mocking,
The sighs of ours that wander as waif.

Dark heart of Shylock did experience ‘blank darkness',
While he was all null in utter madness.


-In the poem, ‘Hades' symbolises the source of eternal darkness. Even I have tried to portray the way ‘blank darkness' finds its way directly from the inferno to the human heart. Darkness has its own ‘uniqueness'. Even a tree leaves its dark shadow behind. In this regard, the existence of darkness and light is natural and we must not go against nature's ‘whim'. Darkness of human heart is never expected and ‘blank darkness' indicates that particular moment when a very bad person (Shylock) finds himself totally confused and scared right after his evil activities are known to everyone.
