Blinded! Poem by Sreejith Sugathan

Blinded!



The lonely flicker of my candle;
Serene and contented-
Was blown out;
It was the darkness of your eyes
The numbness of your heart
Which took away the wailing light

Leaving me behind in this way
Where darkness slept with the day
I stood frightened and alone;
The candle was my only ray
My hope, my vision ‘n my wisdom
Guiding me, all along the way.

Slowly, I started admiring the darkness
The beauty, that makes else invisible
Absorbed, I no longer count
The days and nights I spend alone
In the darkness that was becoming me

Too late it was, when I realized
The candle was still in my hands
The flame intact and flickering as before
Only that, I was not seeing it
I was blinded
It was the darkness of your eyes.
