When They All Fall Asleep Poem by Amitava Sur
When They All Fall Asleep
In dead of night when they all fall asleep
In earth's accommodating lap.
All my pains cripple down in my heart
Capsizing it under pain's domain.
They all start chewing that soft heart
So recklessly making me cry.
Tears I find flowing profusely from two lakes of my eyes.
The moment I feel the tears to be exhausted and dry
I get the pains being more horrifying and wild.
None is there, only I'm here
Hearing some utter cry being blown in air.
The earth's surface is snarling at me being harsh and so dry.
Eaten up moon looks so gloomy stars are looking so shy.
Darkness engulfing me and the sky's boundary is increasing by and by.
No more tears nor anybody around,
Excepting darkness being with me in the dead of night.
Pains are ultimately yours only,
They don't walk away nor leave.

An intriguing portrait of sadness, intensely describing your inner pain through loss. They all start chewing that soft heart so recklessly making me cry, that line is defining through imagery, your pain. It is so stark and unrelenting, making me feel it's crippling pain within my own heart. Definitely a poetical sorrow that can never be contained in this life, as you've so aptly written in this poem. Give it a 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you for sharing your heart, a really touching poem. RoseAnn
