Virgin Sheets… 1201-2k14

When darkness spreads its veil the night its many pains When light no more shines upon shadows the demon reigns Bare days merge in useless chore night lays bare its many harms When fears they grip the heart So the bed with its thorny arms When yearnings pierce the mind Pain throbs in feet blisters corns When spells and howls echo Witches shriek their evil charms When lonely times spent already play endless in colorless forms Then unmet wishes freeze in sighs soak virgin sheets in happy dorms Then a dazed feeling takes root that the twain shall never meet A wish echoes in the empty heart, go, vanish, be unseen like a dying beat original saadat tahir 12th Jan,2k14 Islamabad.
