The endless shadowy nights are hard to spend
but still I wait for darker night to arrive
when the goddess of night, Nyx sits by
my side caressing and combing the tangles
from my ashen hair, envelops me in her
shady mysterious grasps.
Over many sips of melancholic wine and
gulps of memories I narrate to her the day’s tale
midst many picks and puffs of smoke.
I bare my heart and pull out the agonizing
twines of soul before the mighty dawn
breaks and dispels us both.
Random details of trails I took, trudged on lanes
unknown, while she heeds to the
whispers of my soul stroking the sooty
hair, balms the inflicted heart sores, I tell her
how again he never came home.
She gently wipes the cascading saline tears
with her dusky veil, while I tell her how
day’s light causes me so many woes all
that which she already knows.
I urge her to hurry before scorching
red hot day again arrives,
smiling she replies don’t worry after
dusk, It’s only me who thrives
Knowing that magical things
only happen at night, she went
flying on her ebony wings.

Its comforting to know that a witness is always there listening and understanding our deepest sorrow.
I know right, I always feel that the mother-nature is watching me and understanding my woes. A way to console myself in tough times. Thanks a lot I truly appreciate your time and valuable comments.!
Yes, me too. I love nature and the sense of her as a feminine being.. I visualise these feminine figures too as soul comforters. <3
I know even I visualize feminine creatures and take a lot of inspiration from mother-nature, it just feels comforting!
Wonderful use of imagination to help you heal. 🙂
Oh this is beautiful……you have sketched the arrival of the night so well

I am truly humbled by your kind words, I am glad you enjoy them. thanks

🙏
This makes me want the night to come. So evocative. Thanks
There is something so powerful and intriguing about nights. I love nights specially now that I’ve 18 months old daughter who doesn’t let me sleep at night, all I do is spend gazing into darkness and writing! Thanks for reading, truly appreciate it.
Wow. What a different view. Usually day is what people look forward to but your poem made night such a beautiful thing. The only friend who understand your pain and gives you solace from the chaotic day and the broken promises.
On a separate note looks like you are a wine connoisseur 😊
Shantanu, there is something so mysterious and magical about nights. As you know my daughter doesn’t let me sleep at night, all I do is keep gazing into dark nights and weaving poems. As far as wine, I like wines for sure but I cant have more than few sips, helps me loosen up in reality I am a very reserved and silent person.
The way you showed Night was a splendor. And I just loved your poem. Your daughter is certainty making you weave some great poems. Nothing harm with liking wine if it helps you loosen up 🌸😊
Thanks a lot Shantanu, for your kindness. Surely she is doing her part in my verses, as far as wine once in blue moon is fine. My body is not meant for hard drinks or food, it doesn’t react very well. 🌸🌺
My pleasure always. Do what pleases you 😊🌸and stay charming
Surely your company brings smile and charms, 🙂
And you are ever so kind. Feeling is mutual
My friend I tell u the secret women don’t like to be kind at any stage they like to be known as hot😊always remember this wisdom, and the world is at your feet!
😂
Golden words but I have to decent on a public forum isn’t
You have to be decent everywhere all the time my friend while knowing the secrets 🙂 it’s all sarcasm and wit really don’t take it otherwise!
Haha. Decency is always relative. Isn’t
Sure it is and this is all in humour and wit! Humor takes over me sometimes 🙂
And you do a fab job. I love humor and wit. That’s what I do all the time. 🌸🌸😊
😊
So rich and luscious!

My favorite lines:
“I bare my heart and pull out the agonizing
twines of soul before the mighty dawn
breaks and dispels us both.”
Thanks my dear, I am so glad you liked it. Nights are great,specially as mothers little time that we get for ourselves, it’s either night or early morning all before dawn! Is it not?
I remember well! Many nights I sat up with little ones – that is when I learned to love cooking. The Food Network ran all night on cable. 🙂
Yes same here I’m awake many nights with my daughter she is 22 months, many sleepless nights cooking, writing and cribbing 🙂
lol…I remember being bone tired and did not really believe those who told me how quickly the stage of having little ones passes….but truthfully, I do treasure the memories. 🙂
Yes children grow fast:) but yes I’m very tired now days esp coz all the work pertaining to kids ends up falling on our shoulders
