Dark Light Poem by Kranthi Pothineni

Dark Light

Rating: 5.0


Light rays kissed my darkness
It turned my blackness to white
It looked so bright to my eyes
So hand raised to block its rays
To help my eyes settle in dark

Eyes got used to this darkness
In which it lived for many years
It can't differ the nights and days
That's how my life was to say
So this eyes can't take the light

Light for my eyes is not so true
It shows something which is lie
On which I will smile and laugh
It takes me into mythical lands
Were it leaves me to live happily

I knew this happiness is myth
All this lights colors are magical
For which heart craves naturally
So my eyes went towards light
Only to be back again into dark

In which I learned how to walk
How to talk and smile with wind
And how to weep in silence too
This darkness had shown me truth
So I went into light with closed eyes

Hey, .. I feel this one of your best poems.. Lot to think here...Since this is written in first person., this becomes a original poem.. Yet, it has universal value in the sens that every one is in a search for this so called light or the enlightment.. This is very nicely done..10... regards// best wishes Shan

In one way what you say is correct, and one should not see any light direct, in particular the sun light, as it may burn the eyes.
