We speak of darkness
as we speak of light
we speak of darkness
as if it arises
and radiates
like light,
forgetting
as cold is the mere
absence of warmth
dark is the mere
absence of light
and in creating
walls of prejudice
roofs of fear
windows of hate
doors of ignorance
we breed the idea
that darkness
has a protective glow
of its own
not realizing
it is merely feeding off
the maggots of our own
ego
But darkness in many ways can be a protective glow………..It can sometimes protect our natural innocence……by not allowing the light of reality enter us we do in fact protect ourselves from certain unnecessary emotions………Beautifully written though sir 🙂
A different prespective of negativity darkness brings into life. A metaphorical account, wonderful usage of imagery and the comparison of maggots and egos in closure hits hard on stark reality of negativity affecting relationships. Today, Ego is of paramount importance and relationships secondary. A wonderful poem indeed .
Profound!
Darkness my friend, is a make believe story…
The absence of postivity breeds negativity… Beautifully written indeed. A nice read 🙂
according to physics:drak mattre is the grate source energy,so frm drakness we have to bring out the positive enargy..
darkness mumbles the forbidden answers
to questions you are about to confront..
it is for darkness you know there’s light
you feel that the edges are blunt..
it is a kind of consumption, some self centred assumption
that darkness could never be a friend..
very enjoyable!!! and profound as well!!!
Absencce of spirit and innocence is darkness
I shall respect the light coz it shows me the way, yet I shall endure the darkness as it shows me the stars.
Who are ‘we’ ? 🙂
Loved it!
Shekhar,
I wanted to say , did you notice – what I predicted some time back has come to happen exactly as I foresaw !
The French have won the 20 Billion Dollar MMRCA deal with Dassault Rafale jet “winning” the bid . If you recollect I wrote earlier , how the French Secret Service is in possession of complete Banking transactions of all Indian politicians , including Antonia Maino (alias Sonia Gandhi), and others.
Indian politicians are now in the complete control of foriegn intelligence services. India is in grave danger. Why not invest that money in Indian IITs and IISc( my alma mater) to create solid defence research programs ???
Can foriegn governments assure Indian security ?? Ever ??

i am neither a story writer nor a film related person. the story just cam esome how. i beleive you will like the synopsis. it will bring nothing sort of an oscar.(i feel so)
A person holding a torch in his hand went in search of darkness and to this day, he is unable to find darkness. Darkness cannot bear contact with a lighted lamp.
Can we ask the darkness to stay a while longer so that the Sun can see what darkness really is? Is it ever possible for the Sun to see what darkness really is?

Ganesh
Did you write this sir, its quite good.
We are created amazingly… capable of creating worlds of our own… a world that is a excruciating, inexplicable meld of facts, illusions and delusions…
You and I..
A mere bunch of memories…… that will decide the destiny the future moments.
Light n darkness….. one without the other …..becomes intolerable…..like inhaling and exhaling…. the lub-dub of a heartbeat.
What would be the union be without the yearning……the reunion without the parting….. the light without the darkness….
Give me both, my love….. or let me die.
Today,I want to go back to the darkness and warmth and comfort of my Mother’s Womb…
Love
sheela
Presence of Duality.

Boats on the sea
some surging
some afloat
some adrift
some sinking
yet,all boats on the sea…
Pebbles on a beach
some smooth
some sharp
some new
some old
yet,all pebbles on a beach…
clouds in the sky
some white
some gray
some beautiful
some formless
yet,all clouds in the sky…
people in this world
some boats on the sea
some pebbles on a beach
some clouds in the sky
yet,all people in this world…
This poem can be considered as message of a deep thinker to society . Here writer wants to do some thing creative but couldn’t because of certain compulsions. There are conflictions in the mind of writer also as love for the nation.
Darkness exists so as the importance of light.
Pranaam!! Shekhar ji
Very profound! Very well crafted!! The moon looks beautiful in the night – the darkness, not in the day time. There are infinite hopes in darkness. It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength…the passion…the energy.
Keep writing…
Regards
