BRIGHTENING DARKNESS

silence could be sounded everywhere

and i had realised i was somewhere

it was dark and grey

trust me! nothing could be seen.... all was in vain !

i move my hands in and out

gave myself a few circles round and round

took a step further ahead

and had almost decided to take it back

when i saw a bright ray of light

coming towards me from my right

" whether shall i approach my right ?

  or right  is just not right ? "

a swap of limbs by degree 90

name of almighty

started stepping ahead

could not listen the footsteps i had

by now the ray of light

had become visibly bright

here started conflict of heart and mind

" it can be everything. "

" it will be nothing. "

" why dont you venture in ? "

" why not to escape out of it ? "

" complexity is magnetic......"

" but simplicity is  adorable. "

the signals were infuriated in nerves

just as a natural geyser is about to bring turbulence

" silly me !.."

dove and the olive branch

had started appearing hazy........

sounds like  a tower of babel....!!

" you ignored the ghoosh sound. "

" but what now !!"

"  you had already ventured into brightness..."

indeed! complexity is magnetic.. !!

" it is bright.. so .. bright..

  me out of darkness..."

there are roses, orchids and jasmine

green leaves are following the rhythm of happiness

finishes the disturbing silence.

" it is the first time

  taste sweetness

  smell happiness."

vision has brightness

close your eyes.

one

.

two

.

three

.

and four

open your eyes

too see darkness.. deep darkness

now its fear and horror

horny touch and ghostly voices

falls a sheet of darkness

that was a trap

to engulf the brightness of ours

not of ours ..but of millions..or even trillions..

that is why it is brightening.....

 a brightning darkness.....

author’s note:

i am feeling that i am moving towards light
but i am entering into a deep and dark tunnel.

as an author, a writer, a poet, a girl..lols..whatever you know me as…this is  one workpiece which is very close to my heart. “the brightening darkness” . the all meaning lies in the title. Darkness: evil, disgrace, negative, hovering, pessimism, haunting…! Brightening: happiness, cheer, joy, love, affection, amore, friendship, light, warmth. But, how could two co-exist? Simple. In life, something that appears magnetic and attractive, like a guy who is handsome and caressing, or a rose beautiful and fragrant, a friendship promising…. But later it is realised that something which appeared to be brightening was an envelope over the darkness it is made up of. The guy is a fraud, the rose pricks you the moment you hold it, the friend was fair-weather.

Friends! Face values are a trap, they are temporary, if you have to appreciate, start appreciating the beauty of heart. Permanent!
