Deep, profound night, tick, tick, no other sound
There was someone once, a Devi, so beautiful
Like moon amidst the blackest clouds or far
In the East, on Amawas' night, some avatar
With a heavenly grandeur.
Now my heart sinks in its emptiness.
I am scared of its hollowness,
Oh! my eyes hurt, they are wet, sore.
Where am I?
Nowhere.
Tip, tip, helpless tears thread their way
Rolling over pale cheeks and sink in the pillow.
I close my eyes…oh the bloody redness!
My avatar…the palms of my hands
Are smooth yet how rough is my fate.
Pain, loves me, just like she who
Never sleeps at night…lovely…my black swan
Sleep comes, cracking me,
In my heart, the Devi shatters
Darkness, closing in
And my heart is empty.
