It's Sunset Now Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

It's Sunset Now



It's sunset now,
The glorious light of noon how
Dull'd to still dark red
And spreads gloom of death-field?
It's complete night ahead
Of ceaseless blackness and cold;
Day dug in painful grave
Won't promises now to rise above.

We saw rainbow in sunshine
And blossom'd like heaven in bliss;
Ay, all proved soul-wrenching lie,
Quirk of time drifted apart
Souls twined like day and light
And descends on us fierce night;
Why nature conspires always against
That's noble at its elegant height?

It's now worse than dark night,
For we remain forlorn lights apart
Drenche'd in fierce cold night
That waits to devour both of us;
Lights losing in the fierce night
Like truths badly lose to lies
Fill darkness that's worse than dark
And shatter hopes for all the future.

What an end to what a lovely light!
What darkness from dazzling hopes!
Height furthers hurt a thousand times
While badly falls to irretrievable depths;
We're alive to each other,
Yet lost to each irretrievably forever;
We throb and breathe for each other,
Yet why can't we ever come near?

Tears do stream almost all days
Here and there for each other,
We bring no solace to the other,
For bridges are lost between us;
We need each other more every day,
But wedges of time part us more
And distance keeps constantly afar,
Only impossible hope keeps us abright.

Sunrise must follow algate sunset,
But it's dead-end for both of us;
Neither she nor I seek alternate end,
For no life exists apart from each;
We labour, more labour and do hope
That some luck from the distant heaven
Descends for us and unite us forever
And brings us the dawn of eternal light.
