It was the extreme dark as no-moon night <br />Continuously drizzling from long hours <br />Load shading was active on its routine job <br />The jackals were howling in bamboo clusters. <br /> <br />Her soft voice was whispering in my ear <br />Her long black hair covered me to sway <br />I was melting like an iceberg in South Pole <br />Suddenly the rain started … I drifted away. <br /> <br />I discovered myself in the indistinct dawn <br />When the people were moving for natural call <br />The rain had loosened its grip but she did not <br />It was my ancestral house in west Bengal.<br /><br />Asit Kumar Sanyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-first-night-after-marriage/
