Hold My Hands

Nandani Karn 1997 (Kathmandu)

Hold my hands
And run towards the darkness
Leaving the night behind
Don't look back
Moonlight may stray you
Seek the shadows of trees
Let them show you the path of winds
Hold my hands
And run towards the darkness
Leaving the night behind
Don't walk ahead
Loneliness may scare you
Seek the silence of stream
Let her hear your​ heart mourning
Hold my hands
And run towards the darkness
Leaving the night behind
Don't make me stay
My love may wound you
Seek the joy of dream
Let me walk away while you fall asleep
Hold my hands
And run towards the darkness
Leaving the night behind
Embrace your sadness
Leaving me behind
For now
Hold my hands
And run towards the darkness
Leaving the night behind.

Nandani Karn

They will say not to fall for me I am that girl who writes poetry. -Nandanikarn I write poems to ease some of my fears and some of my pain. I don't usually share them because it's always like nothing I write will ever be worth sharing. Still I guess it's always worth a try. more…
