When the sun sets <br />leaving darkness <br />as message <br />hopes sink <br />when it rains too <br />as the evening closes <br />you take to drinks <br />as something kills you <br />why does the night <br />reminds me every day <br />that life is dusk <br />and dawn is to pass <br />if dawn could pass <br />y dusk linger on <br />why sorrows weigh more <br />and joys settle less <br />why trust is less <br />and fear is growing more <br />When the Sun sets <br />blinding the sight <br />truths are lost <br />and hearts are broken <br />Nights curve in <br />with sleeps and lusts <br />yet, darkness to rest <br />mind filled with unrest.<br /><br />lalitha iyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-sun-sets-4/
