Love, Light, Fright Poem by Vinod Sharma

Dear Thomas, thanks for the comment! The 'sigh' in the first stanza, despite her having travelled, in love, to where she has never, tells us there's a problem. In her darkness, he shows the light she has never seen but has always 'known'; that flash, paradoxically, evokes a fright she had never seen, having never experience what she has. The fright could be due to many reasons, best left unsaid. Lastly, she was like a 'blind. bat earlier, flying around, seeking something she had never seen. And when she does see it - gets 'eyes' -, she metaphorically loses her 'wings' and instead of flying to it, frightened, she clings to the dark cave she has always been in.
