I've resolved to turn around.
Muddled my hands in black of dirt,
While time flew unabated.
Never sketched you in my thoughts
As you really are.
Now as I step near the edge of the valley
At this bleak hour of midnight
Moon beckons, in her maiden calls .
Quietly I stand now,with my heavy eyes
Moonlighting by the Ganges,
And all I hear are cries
Reeking of funeral and finitude.
I can go,
To Anywhere, and in any direction.
But, why will I?
.
I will leave,
Perhaps, not just now.
Will carry you along
Won't depart alone, untimely.
