Dark Inky Night

Dark inky night
 Poem of love and separation plays in my ears
through the headphones...
All asleep but
Sleep won't come to me
Instead tears wet my face
I stare in the starless cloudy sky
Dense and opaque
It makes me feel trapped
I wander when will the clouds break open
And pour their heart out
And when through the cracks
Sun will shine on me and you...
May be one lone ray touches a dew drop
And the prism creates a dream rainbow
And may be there is a pot of golden moments
Waiting at the end of the spectrum ....
And maybe I live just once again
And just before I breathe my last
May be my empty hands will find
Yours ...
Maybe I feel warm again and
 come out of the cold...
The night will see the dawn soon
My eyes are tired waiting
The music plays over and over again
Steaming  in my ears ...
But still I hear the grave silence
Which only breaks with your voice !
