"Darkness"

India

The dark a mark of dislikeness Neither preferred not proffered Neither in gratifications nor in tribulations Man of erudition remains in tenebrosity Deep dark deeply mollycoddles Spreading lap of germination Say not and never an absurdity That gives new life in exuberance Dark clouds tear own heart to shower downpour Life delighted in light takes birth in gloom
