Melting Shadow At Sunset
Trudging through the torrent of crowd,
the entities inherently disconnected,
a wasted lonely walk not taken before.
When time dilates encompassing the present,
reaches the edge of fading perception,
frail past crumbles as waves on distant shore.
As moonless sky falls with the ebon night
shards of broken heart disperse in stillness
on the wasteland of stark desolation.
Future horizon doesn’t see the sun rise,
dislodged dreams drown in perpetual dark,
still life finds the anchor in island of isolation.
When forlorn distance stretches far,
reaches the fringe of the empty vision,
creeping seclusion permeates porous life.
The endless walk to nowhere of no purpose
takes the soul to the depth of despair
through the tormenting times of strife.
When distraught insight loses the track,
wanders disoriented in the wilderness,
imposed insulation it’ll indubitably get.
Dismayed mind disintegrates to spread
on the waning time’s darkened shadow,
melting in the gloom of bleeding sunset.
