A Midnight Lamp

Against the storm of injustice and social evils

The fierce storm 

Rustles at the roof

Sweeping away 

the dreams

the desires

the destiny

The Wicked blocks of Cloud

Hovers around

Darkening the town

the fragile trance

the flooded tears

the faded tenacity

The odd hours of life

Bereaves the zest of 

leading the self through

the panics

the pains

the pities 

Amidst the dreary night

struggles the dim light

stamping out the Darkness

In the hamlet of life

On the casement of hope

Glows

A  Midnight lamp

Awesome...

My favorite lines:
"Amidst the dreary night
struggles the dim light
stamping out the Darkness
In the hamlet of life
On the casement of hope
Glows
A Midnight lamp"

This is a really vivid poem that works on so many levels, multiple metaphorical levels as well as the literal scene. Love how you mix the metaphysical and literal images. Above all, the sonics, alliterative triads and rhymes are masterful. This is a very unique style from a well-realised voice. Glad I discovered you today.
