THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.
Dark is an emblem of a silent and serene life
Mostly back home to rest for the next day, a stint of life.
On the contrary, many are there who change such placid nights into vibrant vibes.
Their hearts beat only in the dimness of light
They are just waiting for it to come out from their abides.
Look! Mr.Owl is full of thrill and delight to seek his beloved
who is somewhere hidden in the dense Woods of pine
Longingly waiting for the nightfall to fabricate the endearments every night.
Those Hoots of Love evoke desires in She-Owl’s Heart
She swiftly pierced the veil of darkness to connect her Sweetheart.
Both’s bright eyes are gazing at each other on the black night.
Finally, He-She has started their Radiance life.
On the different side, A moth has only one day of life
He doesn’t want to waste a single piece of time.
Therefore, he delved into the love of light.
And whispered no interference between my admirer and I.
Somewhere far away in the twilight, a pretty girl looking steadily at the gleam of moonlight.
Waiting eagerly for the call, to hear her inamorato’s voice.
The rhythms of her breath expose the yearns that she conceals from the world.
Here, the sea waves are hysterical when the moon shines
The Beams of the moon create a flutter in her body and suddenly she turns into tidal rides
Crossed all the boundaries to muster her Man, despite knowing about the spurious love that he is showing.
Shameless waves, still urging to extinguish the blaze of her deep feelings
However, she realised it was all a lie and started crying on the lonely nights
Her sounds of tears gave voice to the soundless nights.
Such resonating motifs the beauty of night but nobody knows someone’s pain lying behind.
See the other Senophile, only moonlight makes her alive
She blooms in the shimmering nights and calls herself a flower of moonlight.
Her love is unconditional, she doesn't bother about the love of the other side.
Whether he loves her or not, that can’t make her cry.
Unlike, a gorgeous girl always in the realm of dreams
In the attainment of a pristine lover that rhymes with the soul of her.
All of them are the Nocturnal Lovers, Lovers who make dull nights live.
