POEM - LET ME CHERISH THIS DESOLATION! Poet - Dr Prasana Kumar Dalai (India)

Swapner Vela Sahitya Patrika (The Raft of Dreams Literary Magazine) is a Bilingual magazine in which Bengali and English literature are published from Aurangabad, MSD, W.B. Editor - Md Ejaj Ahamed

28 Sept, 2025

LET ME CHERISH THIS DESOLATION!

Let me cherish this desolation in the dark

Don't light up my sky with stars tonight

I hang here in the thick of this

darkness

For your touch to light all the lamps in heart

With your touch this gloominess will spark again

In the ecstatic blaze of your intense love

With this smouldering passion in my soul

I wait for you tonight with my restless heart

Lingering in the darkness only to disappear

In this scorching flame of your passion

I love this rousing moment melting away slowly

In excruciating pain of your anticipation .

©️®️Dr Prasana Kumar Dalai @India.
