A Night to Remember...

It's us who decide whether we want to be happy & let go painful reminiscences..

That night, I will never forget

Rain was pouring and I was lying sleeplessly on my bed

Light was gone and it was pitch black

Moon had also hidden itself at the back

Suddenly there was a knock at the door

There was no one home, I was pretty sure

The door opened and there were two men

One in black, the other in white

Black one entered and loudly cried

Hello my friend here I am

To take you to the world of mine

U r wondering who am I?

Well, I am the one who makes you sigh

I am the master of sorrow and grief

And I surround people who lack relief

Come come with me…

There entered the man in white:

He spoke in a voice calm and light

Oh young master, I am here too

I am the king of happiness

To soothe you in your sorrow

To make you glad whenever you are sad

I will show you a new way to live

I will bring you out of your plight

And promise to show you a path of delight..!

I then turned towards my heart

And asked it eagerly what should I do, who is right?

My heart replied:

I leave it to you, it’s your choice

Do you want to live in pain or turn towards brightness and rejoice?

I then pondered for a moment

And decided what my heart desired

Goodbye I said to the black knight

And off I went with the man in white

Because I wanted to be happy, cheerful and bright

And no more would I live in pain and fright…

The verses filled with simplicity and grace are wonderful. The theme is interesting and I see below predictible, but it is uplifting and reminded me as it will others our journey in life is limited by our choices. Letting go of sorrows and choosing the path to happiness and joy is well expressed. I loved it all. Thank you. Dale

Thank you Dale. Your review means a lot to me. I would like to your sincere advice and comments on my other literary works too :)

[Confuser]

I re-read and reading your poem literally: not figuratively it personally reminds me not to worry; thank you again: I will be reading more. Great writing!!! Dale

[Noor.92]

You're welcome!!!!

Fantastic write! These are absolutely real choices in life, the fork
in the road if you will, great choice I must say! Well written and
thought out, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Noor.92]

Thank you... Your appreciating remarks mean a lot to me.. :)

A nice poem with a nice atmosphere, although a bit predictable. Who wouldn't pick happiness over pain? Would have been exciting if there was some kind of twist to it that made the decision harder. Maybe both knights were faulty in some way, equally good or bad, richess or wisedom, family or career, or something that mimics the different paths in life. Anyway, that was the honest feedback (since we're in that group both). Despite of what I just said I did enjoy reading it. It had a religious kinda feel to it, made me think of the Grim Reaper and... Jesus I guess, or two of the four apocalyptic horsemen.

Thanks for the nice review.. And yes I myself had this feeling that the poem is quite straight forward..could be made more interesting off course.. :)

[R Smith]

I guess its always best to choose the light, an excellent poem of good and bad, loved the story beginning of the storm and the men at the door, a classic of some class, thank you :)

[Noor.92]

Thanks for a kind review Sir..:-)

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Very special poem. Special form also, with the colors, but it's always good to choose for to be happy, cheerful and bright. Liked it, Noor. :)

As you wish.. :)

lovely poetry, such storytelling through words and a wonderful ending, however black and white shouldn't always be contrasting in a negative and positive light. black and white are colors and they don't define good and bad.

[Noor.92]

Yes I get your point....
Its just a little bit symbolism, nothing much.... :)

[Peyton]

I love the format of this poem, very cool and well written. It brings many images to the imagination. "My heard replied" - is 'heard' supposed to be 'heart'?

[Noor.92]

yes typing error. thanks for pointing that out.. :)

[Hímayun kuræshýe]

makes me picturize ...the whole poem

first the part defining the weather ,then the scene where the white and black man enter,then their defining themselves ,then lastly the choice you make ...all these parts fit in perfectly ..beautifully written...thanks for sharing

[Noor.92]

Thanks a lot for the kind review... :)

[Hímayun kuræshýe]

my pleasure! ...i think i get the message ,i would try n choose the white man too :)))

[Noor.92]

At times, it's difficult to do this but yes, it is necessary to go on...

[Hímayun kuræshýe]

..yes,but its a test of strength ..some pass some fail :)
