Park Poem by Qumber Rizvi

When Sun went down
and Earth went dark,
My friend was sitting alone in a park.

He looked all around
and listened for a sound.
The birds were home and dogs didn't bark.

My friend was sitting alone in a park.

★ ★ ★

He wanted to laugh,
he wanted to cry.
He wanted to live, he wanted to die.

He wanted to escape
his own cheated heart,
He wanted no life, no joy, no spark.

My friend was sitting alone in a park.

★ ★ ★

The Bougains and Lilies,
his bench was under,
Had all just died, attacked by a thunder.

In days of her love,
they all shone bright
As pink of her lips had left their mark.

My friend was sitting alone in a park.

★ ★ ★

Her love for my friend
was never ever real.
All care of her words had just turned cruel.

To break his broken heart,
she thought was an art.
He lost all his world, his life, its stark.

My friend was sitting alone in a park.

★ ★ ★

On shore of the world,
he just sat alone
Till soul of his left, his heartbeats gone.

He wanted a life
but now he ached for
A shoulder of love, a Coffin or Ark.

My friend was sitting alone in a park.

When Sun went down
and Earth went dark,
My friend was sitting alone in a park.
