Nocturnal songbird <br />reigning like the queen of darkness <br />hiding the gnawing torments of her youth into the Stygian black <br />repulsed by the light at dawn <br />flying hither and thither fraught with distress <br />calling out to the familiar Hades <br />seeking redemption in the sweetness of the night<br /><br />Madhuparna Chakraborty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-reigns/
