Void<\/h1>\n

by Preethu P<\/p>\n

Soon to collapse, the dirtied wall,
\nIn every crack, cobwebs and all,
\nOh! To clean, I shall need the key,
\nWith which the last tenant did flee.<\/p>\n

‘Twas a bright day, clouds away,
\nFangs in his shadow pierced
\nmy soul,had its hues sucked,
\nTill I, in some trance, lay.
\nHe left at dusk, scared,
\nThe pale remains, he had said,
\nKnew not how to love!<\/p>\n

Remember when, over the new hearth,
\nYou warm your palms, how
\nIn the void between my fingers,
\nIts frozen pale shadows clutch,
\nLike death.<\/p>\n
