Thoughts...



It's a spectre, this world of shadows-
A throng of cavernous lonliness
No support here, not even a shore in sight to drown yourself at
All the elegance here is of disgrace
The splendour here is of dishounour
It's a spectre, this world of shadowns-
Many a moon have I lit and snuffed out
But couldn't snatch even a few winks of sleep
The night only brings wakefulness
It's a spectre, this world of shadows-
Here, the teardrops are stitched on faces that are borrowed
Here, in this world of spectres the path to the zenith runs through the nadir !...
