Embracing Darkness

Darkness has always been slandered and defamed for its symbol of negativity. That the darkness is needlessly infamous, I feel the light is wretched. Darkness completes sleep But Light stings right in your eyes like a honey bee. I can't even write in the light I can see words, letters, pen, ink, paper, everything but not emotions. As if emotions cannot stand infront of light Tears Don't flow freely in the light we hide our wounds from everyone We make sure these wounds do not go to anyone's eyes. This wound, this pain resides in the dark Free, fearless, fiery. Turn off these lights now! It's not that I can't sleep. But light comes like an arrow and hits my eyes The arrow which neither lets me sleep nor lets me stay awake. I don't want this wretched light that works as a dream breaker Which makes us realise within seconds of opening our eyelids "Ahhh" Another dream of mine just got shattered into pieces again. I like the night The night even when the moon does not get scared of showing its scars. As if it's trying to tell us that scars should be cherished to make ourselves shine bright. What is darkness? Darkness is my truth The condition of my room The condition of my heart Darkness is like a lost emotion like yesterday But it's dark today. That sky is blue. But this darkness is a disgrace To those birds who were hit by the storm. In the hope of returning back, They broke down and came home again. By becoming half Or should I say that by becoming my lover's promise! Dark is special. There is a lonely crowd of dreams There is a sense of loneliness As if Darkness and loneliness complements each other. Darkness is like a small lonely child Who doesn't fear A small abandoned child Who is not afraid of falling and getting hurt A small isolated child Who is not afraid of the crowd A small despondent child Who does not fight with the arrow of light While the arrow crosses right through her chest in the middle of her heart. As if darkness taught her the meaning of courage Ask me the need of darkness. Darkness has a black heart in it's chest Which was not black before It has turned black and the reason is that It has learnt the way to love. Ask me how pure darkness is It's same everywhere. Look carefully at how clear the darkness is. Darkness is true the way it is. The way it is, it is better than light in any way. People often say that you need light to see. Even your own shadow leaves you in the dark. I say yes I don't need shadow in the dark As I see exactly my true own self In the mirror of darkness. I see my true bits and pieces in the dark. All the scars naked on my body Dirty walls of the room remain dirty Which we don't need to paint. But nothing remains hidden in the dark end. Even in the light, it is coloured by the fake decency of a poor No one has to hide passion in the dark. No one has to remove the scars from the face I am who I am in the dark I don't have to wear a mask!!
