Darkness In Bright Sunlight Poem by Shagun Khera

Darkness In Bright Sunlight

Rating: 5.0


As I face this terrible certainty..

The dawn of the darkness greets me warm..

The wanderer in me gets stomped by reality..

I sit and talk to my disgusted loneliness..

It laughs at me and says…suffering is a bless…

I shake my head a several times..

To get the past out of my mind…

The readiness to sacrifice..

the symphony of death.. Surrounds my mind..

I see darkness, . In bright sunlight..

My loves rusts and rots in the bin of my heart.., ,

Someone has just broken through my guard..

The dark within now crawls beneath my skin..

As the silent enigma of sorcery pulls me akin…

The will to live…goes out with every breath..

As I seek to venture my journey..

Into never.. never land..

The persistence of time.. has brought me to a point..

Where I seek to enlighten the darkness

As rage on the flames..burns afresh..

the gardens of grief seem to bloom..

metal strikes metal..there it welcomes me.. the much awaited doom..

the stigmata in my soul… begins to ignite…

I see darkness.. in bright sunlight…

From the sane asylum of insanes..

I break free and apart..

The silence becomes my beloved…

Accompanies me.. the momentary lapse of reason..

The realms of chaos I choose to suffocate..

The wasted hope and love..inside that wails..

It seems a battle between insanity and pain

who dares wins..

who takes away the game..

However, The death shall rise…

Eating back at life..

And I’ll offer my soul..to the whirler of fate.

Diving into void… it seems so right..

I close my eyes.. and here it comes..
Darkness in bright sunlight..

I found this splendid writing and creative and very inspiring. Thanks for infusing the day with a little darkness in bright sunshine! (and I will try very hard not to steal your very catchy title, lol)

Those who walked in darkness have seen a great light, in your poem it is vice versa and it provokes thoughts and renovates feelings.Made me think also of 'Flowers of evil' cycle by Baudelaire.Very powerful and original, thanks for sharing. Best wishes. A.

Sometimes seeing clearly in the brightness of the noonday sun is more bane than boon. In the clear light of day we see everythign clearly. Since these days the negative aspects of life prevail over the good, we don't like what we see. Clarity, transparency is two edged sword.
