Analysis of An empty time
An empty look of time
Embraced the hours
When life echoed to me
And said I am in delight
With a secret smile
Putting all the pains behind
But with utter dismay
Time snatched away
Angels of happiness
Moon flooded sky
Crippled the hours of joy
Forced pains to remainlonely
Like a highway coffee shop
With tons of silence
Pregnant Clouds of
Dark despair
Gathered its tears
To distort the rhymes
Nestled in the eyes
Groaning were melted in murky lane
Swept away with time
Leaving life alone
To paddle around the empty wall
Like moonless night
Life's house of heart is dark today
Where only sad songs
Are swaying like broken lines
Life
Falsely crawling and fighting
To up the world and rise
Time has compressed the morality
Between devils heart and gods smile
