In A Dark Room Poem by Susmita Moktan
In A Dark Room
In a dark room
I was searching for light
Without knowing light inside me
has brighten the sight
O'h fool my shadow call
I didn't hear as I was stall
I struggle to move
I tried to run
Scared me from deep inside
But still I feign
Suddenly my soul departed
And, I felt lightened
I started hovering
Above the body lied
I was crying a minute ago
Now I am feeling my shadow
What is happening to me
I ponder
If my family knows this
I wonder
I waited for them
No one came
I shouted at them
Still they did not care
Whole night I flew
over the body that i knew
Not knowing what happened
Saw a flashback in second
The day I was born
My family celebrated
But, my momma screamed out of pain
Papa elated
Every year I had birthdays
Of which Memories are still there
Lovely days and Gloomy nights
Sunny days and chill nights....

Really a sweet poem. Sweet not only because it has rhyming lines that make it artistic and it uses symbolism and imagery that capture the theme of human life's mysteries within the horizon of just a few lines but also because it throws enlightenment into the dark corners of life. Your lines of the first stanza especially deserve the poetic appreciation because they are the central soul of the whole poem. More can be expected from your poetic pen. Please move on to the next corner and create a poetic flavour again.
