Quite A Strange Night... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

Last night was a different night
I had to stay up into this crack of dawn
like me many others had the same fate

A frenzied storm raged for a little while
And specks like woken up puny phantoms
frantically invaded all visible kingdoms

Then it poured to calm them down
For not long and neither that much
Cool air told that they were down again

Since then fans are in dead halt
Lights are sleeping and fail to wake up
And I am stomping with defeated fury

A night not that awake nor so asleep
Let a chain of monologues come out
And I felt aloud in disrupted silence
