Deep Moments


The shadow I cast on the corridor wall
Covers my father’s radiant photo frame

Night’s transcripts are saved on the iron chest
Stacking the secrets tied in bundles 

Apologies are like incense sticks and the
truths are ever scrawled on my arid skin

I want to talk but my voice down and down
till it becomes barely a whisper

It is one of those nights when I can't 
Close my eyes and sleep in tranquility 

Moreover moonlight wants to dance on the shaky railings and try to slip inside

I want to reach out and take his hand
Each moment waiting its own turn to go back
