LIGHT FROM DARKNESS

Which dark are you talking about

That gave you knowledge of light ?

Is it the dark behind the bushes  of  low heights

Where glow worms celebrate the festival of  lights

Without fireworks

Or emitting  any poisonous gases;

Kissing the silken tresses of darkness

With  lips wet  from fresh dips into the river’s

Tremulous  nakedness

Aroused  to  glowing curves

Under the Moon’s new madness ?

Or is it the protective dark behind her tresses

Where the evening lamp of devotion is kept  burning

Before Goddess Brindabati  this world with eternal  love blesses ?

Or is it the dark behind her eye-lashes

Where my heart burns in expectation of a  love

That would never splinter into small pieces ?
