~ Eerie Emptiness… ~ 

I sit by the river watching the sun go down

The dancing orange water, set the fire below

Sun retreating leaving behind the still darkness

But the blazing embers veiled set the sky aglow..

I feel the lonliness, through the melancholy of my soul

I know I have lost out slowly my place in your heart

The Sun in all its dusky beauty, kissing the mountains

Still too far from the earth, together yet so far apart

Sitting in noisy silence, as my heart keeps on breaking

I fight my sombreness and unfathomable hollowness

Only the sun would understand my everlasting aloofness,

As no sound can ever fill my inner eerie emptiness…!
