Love Poem: Mysterious Night
Probir Gupta Avatar
Written by: Probir Gupta

Mysterious Night

Flames of lust
Silence to inhale
The primitive beast 
The precious angels
Stay concealed
In mysterious nights
Of dark and lights

Whether you will grow tall
To be with the Orion
Or will fall
Among the tiger and lion
That dictates the mysterious night
With its fair and foul
That hover over and prowl
In your milieu
Deep inside you

Well, you mysterious night
No need of your dark lantern
Inside the dark cavern
I need to read the letters
As they get unfettered
Under your charming starlight
For the sake of my poems
Whatever that be 
Ultimately 
Down to a Haiku
To say to your white smile
In the face of the dark night
I love you

The moon sinks
In water of the Ganges river
It is future like black dark
Savage and stark
With two burning bright
Searchlights
The owl
Scans under the solo starlight
For a white cat

I look inside
At the old owl
Can black night
Bring out a white cat

Who knows
The night is always mysterious
