When the clock struck twelve,
And they, shut-eye.
The whispers began
The unforgiving cry.
My thoughts and dreams,
In a perfect swirl.
Lost in the darkness
Another broken girl.
When the darkness draped
My empty core,
Spreading the flames
from head to toe.
I screamed; I cried,
Throughout the night
The Diabolic shadow
Slept by my side.
Blood soaked towels
Came out to play,
After the moonlight
Crept out of my way.
Seven years later,
As the shadows flee,
The Queen of Darkness
Is what they call me.
Sleepless nights
A scar from the past.
I sometimes miss the
The pain that lasts.
Cradled in your arms..
Strangled by sleep
I doze off drowning
In this love so deep!

i was beginning to wonder why no posts from you….was thinking maybe the next one is a painting and it’s taking time…. but before i could ask, you came up with this!! This is one of the finest example of how to write a deep, engaging work which is in few words as well to fit as a poem!! Each four line block raises the bar which is fulfilled and complimented perfectly by the next block! Such beautiful chaining… Such beautiful linking…and such beautiful description of the sleepless nights can only be written by you – The Queen of Darkness!!! So smooth was the flow between each block!! I read this on my phone and for a moment I just stayed so lost! Like a faint realization which suddenly engulfs you completely! So so relatable. Made me remember my sleepless nights! You are truly gifted!! You have said a lot in these few lines…the painful struggles, fighting off random thoughts, going over troublesome past, that feeling of loneliness, of monsters under the bed and everywhere, the game of shadows and the tricks of the mind – all of which get activated like demons at midnight when you try to sleep in silence! Simply stunning and mindblowing capture of those haunting moments!! Really loved it so much! ❤❤

I just scrolled up and down even before reading what you’ve written enjoying and cherishing the length of this comment like wow..
No posts from me cause I’m a teacher and it’s the end of the second term and I’m completely tied up.. work is hectic ..I’m fasting. I’m tired when I’m home and I’m like a inflated air panda giant after iftar cause I’ve over eaten!
This was I just instantly put together cause Harsh had asked twice about the slacking posts and I was running out of paintings cause I dont paint anymore and I just post my old paintings.
I was shocked to see how peopled loved this poem and seeing all this praise ans positivity from you just blows my mind!
I remember I used to refer to you as my insomniac buddy.. it takes someone who’s been there to understand the true depth of the feelings behind this poem and I’m so very excited that it was you who would connect with it on a deeper level.

Oh yeah i realised it only after submitting the comment that i had *again* gone overboard on an emotional drive!! 🙄 I can’t keep it short until and unless I have let out all the feelings after being emotionally stirred by something! 🙈 Few blogger’s posts do that to me…yours being one of them!
I understand you are being tied up and exhausted from fasting…and an over-stuffed panda post-iftaar!! 😹 Same here!! Trying to tie up the fragmented day and making most of the small quantum of sleep is keeping me occupied as well! Morning i have to drag myself to work but mind is somewhere else throughout the tiring day and then I don’t get to sleep easily at night! And then in parallel doing house hunting as well which is a tiring job!! And i am going home next week for a long holiday (13 days!! and after 7 months!!) so trying to finish everything before that! And fasting! And so many other things that mind is going crazy!! 😰
As a consequence im lagging behind here on wp and I have to catchup on so many posts now!! Maybe will take a week or more!!
Special thanks to Harsh for poking you to write this!! 😁 You dont paint anymore is just for this month right? Dont tell me you have stopped altogether!! 😱
This poem was bound to get this much praise! It was amazing! Sometimes things done with not much efforts but with genuine emotions and from the heart do turn out better than we expect!! So no surprises here! ☺
Insomniac buddy!! Yes i remember! 😊 That’s why i could relate to it i think.
Thanks so much for taking time out to reply with such a lovely comment!! 🤗 It’s the longest comment anyone has ever written for me till date and I really appreciate the efforts and love!!

I’m nobody to say anything about your poem. If I say, it’s beautiful then it’s just because the way it rhymes. If I say, I felt sad then it’s because of the pain hidden in those words that could make any poet cry. If I say, I can understand the pain then it’s just because I write rhymes and I know how, people like us jiggle the pain and throw the words on the paper. And if I say, I can understand ‘YOUR PAIN’ then it’s nothing more than a lie and you know I’m not a liar.
May God bless you with all the happiness that you deserve.

There is a lot that I can relate to here.
I don’t know dear about the darkness,a and being it’s queen but what I do know is I can feel every inch of the pain with your words written. It may be a fictional character, it may be a true story, but I have lived it, and lived it through. I am not even ashamed of acknowledging that I have seen the darkness that you talk about. I just don’t know if it ever goes!
“my empty core” “seven years later” “my sleepless nights” there was a lot of things here that I could go ramble on and keep relating to. But I don’t want to hide beneath that darkness again.
Anyways, I should just stop scribbling now, and just tell you how beautiful you write.
