Blackout With The Darkness

Within a moment the sparkling bulbs and street lamps beeped into darkness,
As I sat alone in the shadowed room,watching silhouettes, staring into nothingness,

As my brain clicked the panic button,
I clutched my mobile in reflex,
From it a flashlight chained out rays,
as I heaved a sigh, while my heart beats grew complex,

The creek of the bed, the click of the buttons, the tiny vowels of my walking feet,
Sounded clear in the numb silence, with my eyes searching for wisps and flashes to greet,

The flashlight scanned a wax wrinkled candle in the corner of a window,
Old that it was, I handed it a match stick , to walk it across the shadow,

However dumb the fear sounded in my mind,
it silenced my sanity and drew it away,
And I walked holding a candle in my hand,
searching rooms for ghosts while trying to pray,

The walls werent welcoming as always,
nor were the curtains and closets,
So I opened the door;
today hearing the neighbours was unlike their usual croaking like crickets,

I stepped out into the verandah,
where the moonlight rained upon me,
Overhead the darkness was bejeweled with innumerable stars ,
like the bubbling waves of sea,

So many of them I had never seen before;
rocking his boat amongst them was the moon,
This darkness outside was friendly with me,
he calmed me using his sparkling drape as a boon,

He cajoled my sanity and brough her back to rest within me,
Then before saying goodbye, he engulfed himself around me,
And in a flash he was gone, leaving the light to welcome me.
