As
the night progressed,
So
did the darkness…
The
sole, flickering street light
Seldom
offered relief.
A
pitiful cry cut through the silence of the night…
An
innocent soul was begging for mercy.
“Please let me go”…
She
pleaded to the devils of the night.
But
her pleas fell on deaf ears,
And
she was swallowed by the horrors of that dark night…
The
sole witness of the horror,
The
bright moon thought,
‘The
morning sun will drive away the night darkness,
But
who will banish the darkness residing within?’
Such a thoughtful poem, Aparna. Great going on the A to Z challange.

DeleteLoved the last lines. The darkness within. Very powerful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepa...yes the darkness within is increasing seeing the number of crimes towards women increasing sometime it feels like we are going backwards rather than forward :(
DeleteThis is so sadly apt. Will anything ever drive out the madness, the darkness of depravity?
