A Murmur, A Mumble, A Distant Hush, Poem by Zaffar Qureshi

A murmur, a mumble, a distant hush,
towards the gathering herd we rush,
enshrined in us love's silent sigh,
confined in us our hearts cry.
We loved, with hopes of certainty,
alas! all we found was insanity...
the falling leaves tremble,
our desperate hearts rumble,
and,
Abandoned by life
we gasp for death,
we clasp our hearts
in our chests,
and walk towards the
distant herd,
and
all of this - me, and you,
suddenly seems so absurd.
