Don’t know how umpteen things turn to ashes

Flickering images of yore, ruthlessly flashes

Embers lighting up your night sky goes wrong

Losing my way in the storm, I still look for you in songs

Today the sparrows of your unfulfilled promises, nibbled my core

I asked ‘em to be quiet today, as their chirpiness I no longer adore

Unfurling desiccated emotions, I hollered “respect the dead” and “fidget less”

Buried ‘neath the edifice of unspoken vows, they rest in peace at someplace.
