The HiDeOuS MEUM

~Tapas Sarkar

Tonight, silence is the illusion 

Of the Darkness

Which is laughing

At the decorations 

Of all lights and colours,

A stray dog is barking loud 

Facing the eerie night 

And crawling itself 

Towards a scruffy shadow, 

Whining sound of a moveless train 

Creating the night more senseless

And a dull memory,

Now, in a bit of moment

If you wish anything,

That will be a crow 

With its sudden shady cawing, 

If it is actually you 

To pray for something,  

You must be a skeleton 

Groaning inside a Grave 

Of million decades 

Holding in the hands nothing, 

Or,

A glimpse of pain you will see,

You will feel love in your cracked heart, 

You will be a silent worm 

With no flame,

Or,

An inmost Entity

Seeing your own blood

Being hated by your fleshy body,

In your presence, 

 The Earth will keep being DeSTrYeD in silence,

In your absence 

The HiDeOuS MEUM will be awake with an outburst.
