Some nights are long and dreary

Amber Bokhari April 20, 1998

Tags:

Some nights are long and dreary,

Shadows move within..

The darkness fills my heart.

Some voices speak forever,

In words I've heard before,

And yet, I comprehend

No meaning-- just a sound.

Some people move in closer,

And warm the atmosphere;

I can feel the presence,

A distant breathing sound.

I
journey to the worlds,

I thought were so remote,

My limbs so numb and weary,

Fail to feel and touch,

And yet I sense so strongly,

A loved one in my room.

Years have come between us,

Like moments they have passed.

Yet, there's this sense of loss;

There was so much to say and tell,

So much to do together......

Perhaps, the heart is bleeding,

For distance aches the soul,

You're always so near me,

But I still miss you so much!

Your memory comes alive,

In sad and silent days,

And shadows move within

the nights -so long and dreary!!


For my beloved brother.
