Analysis of Searching, I am alone : the light



I am blind!
In the darkness of time.
Searching light,
Loitering in a dark room
Groping.

Collide in the wall,
Caressing the floor.
Expecting light somewhere!
I am blind!
In the darkness of time.
Searching for light.

Searching light
Another burden of darkness arrives.
My pen, my paper
Spilled on the floor.
Words strike with the milky ways
Slowly, Comets and Shooting stars seen
Electricity cut off.
Climbing ladders of blackout
Lightning mount
And being blind
Have to search the light
In the room.

Have to select
The bright words to be spoken
Splitting dark.
Where is the lamp? The wick and the oil!
No one wants to kindle why?
Or the darkness is dear!
Oh! Humans please! Speak.

To lit the lamp on paper
While searching pen one night
Words spilled alongwith vigil eyes.
And with golden aura of the dawn
Finally collide.
Why is the time so dark?
Within broad daylight, if!
How do I talk about the night?

Light is life if!
life is light.
Lurking in the void alone
Searching life of a poem
Searching light of:
Heaven,
Wandering alone.
