Deep within where shadows dwell, Leaves fall down as night’s own spell. On the forest floor, a darkened brush, Silent, grim, under twilight’s hush.

What does it feel to dream, What does it feel like to know that it’s not yours anymore? This has become a habit now, This is second nature, It began with me just roaming my room, It began with me breathless, It began and now it has ended. The first time I was scared to… Continue reading Read Poem: GOD’S CRULE JOKE, by Harjot singh
