Dark void
Suddenly I found myself
In a voiceless depth
When time grew old
Flesh and bones left me alone
My only home turned into dust
Lamentably I proceeded
Did not know even
How much sick and down I was
Felt as if I became a passenger bus
Of a long journey
Dissipated in time unknowingly
Became skinny and cold
Tardily my sicken body
Lost its voice in emptiness
Plentitude of budding bright
Slept remorsefully in the coffin of time
Every drop of my melancholy
Became helpless with its tears
Neither able to cry nor crack down
Died in dark void
With time I fought
My tears and pains did not succeed
All my love locked and heart broken
Primitive hungers burnt my souls
Throwing me to the groaning void
Still I am trying to lift of my heart
To roll the sky in my favor
For love peace and eternity
Without laying down my sword
