Encounter

a poem by Purushothama Rao R

I love to live in darkness
To ascertain the real values of life

I live to love the darkness
As it dares to deliver the true lights of love

Darkness forever defines the language of life
Darkness deciphers the words of love

Darkness prefers to appropriate the themes of life
Darkness never tries to shadow the deficiencies of love

Brightness naturally makes up to show case the structures beautifying the altars life
Brightness amortizes the intensity of deceitful stances of love if need be

Yet I continue feel comfortable groping in darkness of life
Despite the threats I anticipate in encountering the phases of love
