THE MESOZOIC NIGHT 
Strange messianic touch brings 
The rains in midnight, 
the
The fumes are visible on the 
Bamboo forest, full moon 
floats
On the hazy sky, close to 
ruins
Of bygone era, who’s agonizing
Voice creates agitation in 
Heart, unknown face knocks 
 The doors, but vanished 
Before opening, on the entrance 
Kittens play with its shadow, 
Now the painful rhythm flows on 
The wind, in the far away 
The image looks as a big shadow, 
Alone with lame legs 
walking
On the edge of flames, 
carrying
The coffin of his desires, dreams, 
Relation, love, hate, the
 Shroud cloth is hanging down to 
The surface, touching 
All the success, failure, 
betrayal
Pseudo characters, naked truth
Of life, black and 
white,
Darkness bark consistently on 
Him, from the subversive lanes, 
They chase continuously 
him,
The image exhausts, wants 
shelter
For the Mesozoic night, but 
It extinct with the thirst of 
peace,
The riddles remained 
unsolved.
