TWILIGHT 

In the sweet light of twilight,

When hearts full of love light up the

dark of the darkest shadows, 

I venture into the alleys of rainbow dreams,

My eyes agleam;

Do you hear the sound of heartbeats still,

In the silhouettes of the dusk, grey and shrill?

Our affinity for each other 

Still in harmony,

Burnt embers of desires 

Shinining red, in the ashes.

The sultry dark night spreads out with

Barren emotions still clinging on to its bosom,

Fields of sighs, a twinkle woebegone,  

Yet hopeful love, looks ahead, not crestfallen.

Voids encompass the tenebrous blanks 

Without a mark nor a difference,  

As my love lights up in strong resilience,

As dreams, are to be lived!

They are made of the real, are not they ?

I struggle through the mazes of

Light and dark, the heart glowing,

But the unruly fatal tentacles of the night ensnare,

Trying to entwine around and entrap; 

I crave for you, your love and a way to your heart,

Hoping against all, I still retain all hope, 

Pray my dreams are recognised,

Fulfilled are my heart's desires,

And I reach you,

Find you , rest in your heart, 

Wading through the twilight is my last resort!!!!
