Me In Darkness Poem by Sahinur Rahaman

I was in darkness moaning lonely

Light gone long ago, a Candle only

Came to me with its light

To give my bleak moments warmth, to spend night

With me; I loved it and again

I loved it the more to be loved and to gain

A hope, a faith, a promise and

A piece of oasis, a green land

In me, in deserted heart mine; and thus

Returned I to my life, grew lively much

With its light so passionate.But alas! Soon

Came a drunken wind, the moon

Cracked into pieces, cried the sky, and so did my mind

In fear primitive, fear to lose my own, as the Wind

Dark and uncanny did tremble

Hard my companion, the light of my soul, my Candle,

And oh! Went my light to die and died to death,

And died too my heart; my breath

Breathed darkness once again.

Thus, gone my light, gone light to rain

Showers of pain as ever-known; feel I how

Darkness kissed me and so does now.
