Before Darkness Engulfs us
I want to tell you something
Before darkness engulfs us.
Darkness is not fat, not a room full of people.
Darkness is hope.
Darkenss is a fantasy that we have carried since we were born.
Darkness is a thought that recides in your mind, and mine.
Darkness is not a syndrome
It is a way we encounter our worlds.
Hence, darkness bewilders us with its psychotic melancholy
Darkness has some struggle as well.
It cannot be shared, not dreamt of.
Darkness has a pervading presence.
It is not a creation of anyone.
It is just there.
Now you might ask
Why don't we walk towards light?
Why don't we simply abandon darkness
And think of only bright sunshine.
The answer is this-
Darkness is ephemeral
Darkness has a jagged monotony
Which we cannot conquer.
Hence, it is there
With you and me.
And we cannot help but fall in love darkness.
