Glow & Dark

by Devavratan Kaundinya

When we sat in the bar
The drinks arrived with froth
Cheers we echoed
Sipped the golden beer

There were lots of sounds
Around us to distract
But, I wonder how come
I wasn’t disturbed a wee bit

We spoke in soft voice
In the soft light of the bar
I looked at his face
That glowed beautifully

His eyes spoke more
Words than from his mouth
There was a perpetual smile
Sitting on his luscious lips

I told him he always
Becomes beautiful
And Handsome when
He gets drunk

He smiled for that also
A bewitching smile
With a mystery packed which
I failed to understand

What he wanted to tell
Through that enigmatic
Smile in his radiant face
And eyes as answer

I was so mesmerized
By the radiance and
Failed to react
Kept myself in the dark

I understand it now
I read his mind now
I missed his invitation, alas
It is too late even to lament
