the silence of this night is dancing

like the first rain kisses the fluttering leaf.

the rhythm of memories embracing

its stillness, wrapping it in the sweet grief. 

sounds of your laughter sings inside

the trapped life in my heart bleeds away.

somewhere far away, i want them to hide

touched by the absence, kissed by your sway.

back to the ways

His future lay in his heart,

bonded by pain and filled up with void

his eyes saw only the dust,

senses dancing away, as if to avoid

many a times he dipped his hands inside,

the darkness could never be swept away

empty hollow cries came up beside,

he kept watching  soul's foul play

sunrise and sunset, seawaves and blue sky,

came and went, along with his life

answers sometimes but, passed him by,

and yet again he continued his strife.
