The night haunts me with her burden of words, <br />weighed down by their own unutterence. <br />Thoughts form and crumble. <br />I watch silently, say nothing. <br />I am a stranger in my own seclusion. <br /> <br />Yet the night nourishes me, <br />with her starry gaze. <br />Fills me with hopes of light, <br />Beyond the barren days. <br /> <br />Lying still in her arms, I realize, <br />The cruel day begins. <br />Lightless, listless, longing in vain. <br /> <br />Its time to hide behind myself, <br />In dried tears, to smile again.<br /><br />Sarvesh Kulkarni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-85/
