To The Dusk Poem by kunjubi varghese

When you bid farewell

The heart of the sun

Writhe in pain.

You came as the embers

In the sacrificial pyre

Of a titillating smile!

With the dreams and bruises

Of a woe ridden life.

A bed of arrows of outrageous

Misfortunes of existence!

Or is it a street car named desire?

Or a battle field where droplets

Of blood, drip down into the earth,

Along with, hopes of a life time?

The elegy sang by the sea

Evinced the agony of my reveries,

In the wake of the farewell.

And groping in the darkness surrounding me,

I am striving to find my tambourine, that

I have been playing a short while ago.
