When

by Ritesh Nair

Empty roads, long and winding,
upon hills that shine in the moonlight,
I know the strength of Loneliness,
Endless, sad, but truthful.

As the moon hides,
Behind the cloud, to wink at me,
To lighten up, to console,
I fail to see, I fail to think.

Somewhere beyond those mountains
All those 23 miles, distant, unending.
To float endlessly, to wander,
My mind runs, away, but back to you.

All around me the world slumbers,
This night, the stars, the moon,
The shooting stars, the universe,
I see your face, in every tear drop.
