Let now shadow of gloom befalling, let be dropping shower
Strolling on alley amidst wide green grass-covered field
I pray, show me open sky where glittering all of little star(s)
Silvery luna may wink without face mask and any shield,
Following in silence my guide- softly murmuring wind
Watchful only from a tree intrepid woodpecker couple
Flowing stream keeping company all through from behind
No wiseman myself to rapid phrase a couplet like oracle;
Infernal gloom now unsavoury unkind to tolerate
No civility but savagery is the rule in the kingdom of darkness
Owls are out to prey like ogress desperate
End justifying means to silence any variableness –
Long stride across dark wood before a daybreak
Freedom under sunshine would no more be opaque.
~Shyamal Mukhopadhyay

Good sonnet.
Great piece of poetry! Venus is decomposing! nevertheless new dawn is in the vicinity!
