Dark are the corners, secrets lie beneath Up for surprises, to swipe you by the feet An unknown mystery,unresolved truth Treading the path, lead by myth. Things never heard of, lurking in the dark Fly by suddenly, leaving behind a spark Whispers or sounds? It's hard to know Leaves fallen by, lying in the snow. Is this a dream? Or pictures of the mind? Fear or madness? Can one ever find? An eerie feeling creeps,nowhere to hide A gentle touch...Is someone beside? Cursing must be the ones, full of abuse Forgive the sins made, it's of no use Sorrow lives now, where once was peace Why, Oh Why? Weak go the knees. No one would know, no one would hear Masked was the mind, no one to fear Alas! of no use, how much the regret The grip slowly tightens, of the cold hands of death. © Anand Naik
