Those Wild Eyes Poem by Usman Hanif

When the sun goes down
and the stars fade away
the company of darkness
guides my way...

Glimmering in the mists
hovering in the darkness;
A morbid silhoutte
tempts me to chase it...

I follow my friend
in the murks of darkness
we're destined to nowhere
we're lost forever
We travel on our path;
keeping a distance apart
like if the vast space
is a threshold between us;
like if we are...
chasing our own trails...
like we're reaching nowhere
but standing at the point
whence the sun went down
and the stars had faded away...

I'm at the start again...

(ok, we start again... the journey foretold...)

Glimmering in the mists
hovering in the darkness;
A morbid silhoutte
tempts me to chase it...


A morbid silhoutte
tempts me to chase it
with those eyes blinking
with the fires burning
inside the sockets.
The deep glowing light
the killing innocence
the mesmeric gleam...
Aye... I stand there
still watching those eyes;
those eyes, out of sight
far out of trail...

I wait for the same night
to come and we start again;
the game of 'hide and seek'
The journey of time
from start to the moment
when those eyes met mine...

I crave to see those eyes;
those wild eyes...
