Before going away for good you told me
Never go to rough darkness
Pitch-black darkness is rather better
Man-made _ that’s curse, life’s complicated
Once I traveled through a dark tunnel
You dark hair was lost in that darkness
At last we were rescued by an angel
From then on you presumed normal darkness
Into a dense one discarded it far away
Now any definition of darkness is
The legend of lost hair.
And you are exalted praising silvery light
But how can light up fireworks of light
When darkness has engulfed the body.
Darkness is the name of that uneven alley
Light is the lone vanguard
With whose footsteps deathlike darkness
Of the vast sky is wiped out.
