The Portrait of a Fleeting Shadow
Tonight I am not capturing your heart
Tonight I am not scribbling for delight
I could see pain in your eyes
I could see those bland smiles
I could hear the silence
I am living another day of curse…
My mouth is craving for water
My soul is no more breathing for you
Tonight I am writing for that vanished love
Tonight I am not feeling those melodies of lust.
I could see those bland smiles
I could see those unseen tears
The twinge is agonising
The fleeting shadows are disturbing me.
I could see some flash of light
I could see some eerie smiles in the dark…
Tonight I am capturing your silence
Tonight I am not craving for your presence….
My fingers are moving slowly
My eyes are fixed,
And my tongue is no more fluttering.
Tonight I am not yearning for raindrops
Tonight I am just feeling the void…
Hey, that was nice. :)
