shadows

alone again

tonight

plays the memory

of your last words

you dont need me

spoken and drowned

in the deafening

soft whispers

of water splashing

from the falls to a pond

both just

man-made

numbness engulfed

from head to toe

but somehow

skipped my heart!

Oh Lord! dont...

look at the pond

now it overflows

and my eyes are dry

i wish the words remained

and it's i who drowned

instead

i bear, the water still splashing

the pond now in glee

noshing on its feed

a soul

void

dreams, nonchalant

and it wells

as if in celebration

i dont look
and i will not ask
as every drop
wrung from the core
makes my eyes dry
even more

i walk for nowhere

and no one

now

in the stark darkness

yet i know

i am never alone

those words will haunt

tracing every footstep

i leave

mocking, locking
piercing jests
and ironies
with luck and fate
