The Lantern Night Issue 12 - Fear The Lantern Night Monalisa Joshi Darkness outside, the ghostly breeze, I stood there alone shivering as it teased, The raven sky, with no star that twinkled, Not even in the farthest, and my skin shrinked, In fear, and the trees seemed uncanny, With their boughs swishing with the gust, Seemed like hands trying to fetch my soul, I tip toed not to wake the dryads of night, I didn’t wanted my soul to be taken, they, Were all ogling at me, I was a prey, a woman! You left me my beloved leaving no word, I stood in the middle and couldn’t go back, My heart was sore, for I had left in our hearth, Two young naive hearts, lost in sweet slumber, And that night seemed longer than others, My eyes were wet and I had two precious, One that was left behind and other I hadn’t found, Yet, I had to be back home before its dawn, Before the birds tweeted the morning melodies, Into their ears, my sons would be awake, I had to tread that path of dare and doom, Aghast! My heart beats got smelled far, At last fell the prying eyes all over me, And one step ahead I was to be eaten, Ah! My beloved I couldn’t, forgive me! I couldn’t cross that line, I knew you were, Near but far to my eyes, I sensed in the air, Twain eye yours watched me from afar, Reading my fear and timidity, I had but, That one night to bring you back, with, Sun’s virgin light you shall be gone forever, Knowing all I cried, I cried to heart’s desire, And holding up the lantern for once in dark, I saw many ghostly faces but not yours, With their mouths opened and jaws dropped, Man was the new ghost in town, In your shadow had I been for long, It was time for me to return, and so did I! Inside it was silent as it was, when you, Left and I got too beneath the sheets of, Despair, clinging to the naive bodies of, My innocent offspring, finding solace, The dawn arrived filling brightness into my hearth, Yet I forbid that lantern night, the worst night ever! But the oil filled lamp, did light our dark space in silence. PAGE 8 www.inkdrift.com
Issue 12 - Fear Just Out of Fear Just Out of Fear Jaideep Khanduja He was too young, Too young to understand it The right and wrong of it When he got into the trap Of a neighbourhood chap Who called him with a clap And made him sit on his lap Forcefully. It was a not too young boy Who didn’t know what was happening But was forced to do indulge in some crap On the other hand it was an elder boy Carrying some dirty ideas in his mind But not caring about cheating the innocence of the younger one. The younger boy Just out of fear Didn’t drop a tear But is carrying the guilt All these years. PAGE 9 www.inkdrift.com
