Another day goes by

Nudging the silent hours

Every sound is voiceless

Masking the ghosts of darkness

Poetry has taken over

The dark hours of loneliness

Yearning flames of desires

Eavesdrop in the verses

Veering towards a chasm

Eating away the soul

Night and its shadows are mine

I am jostling in the whirlwind

Noiselessly and tired

Grieving myself to sleep.

(The song spoke to me as the sun went down the horizon.

Khali haath shaam aayi hai.....the evening has come empty handed)
