WHEN THE LIGHT FALLS by Jamiu Ahmed


WHEN THE LIGHT FALLS

When the light slowly falls on the arms of darkness
Like the orange sun fading into the dark clouds
The sullen fate that overshadowed the bright dream
The moment lost to the realm of awaiting eternal

After falling into the dark tunnel of another road
Where souls burrow like earthworms beneath the crust
Where all voices shall be lost to the vacuum of silence,
Ringing loudly; "where I am?" "where I am?" like a bell.

Misty eyes shall stare upon the aloof mystic gloom
Cuticles shall become the preys of decayed memories
Life shall become the shattered rainbows on the horizon
And bodies shall slowly frazzle like the frayed wool jeans

The crust is the pyramid of grey hairs and weary bones
As fabrics unknot into the hands of smut and pebbles
Floating amidst the dust like sands in a dusty wind
And Aimless feet shall step upon the haven of infinity

Name shall be written boldly on the sky of gone forever
Like the Goliath feet imprinted on the sands of time
Photos shall fade like a shadow on the wall of hearts
The scent of remembrance shall diminish with the wind

What lies beyond the night of this inevitable silence
The end that leads to the beginning of another trip
The journey into the white clouds of forgetfulness
Welcome; to be crowned in the immortal garden
