When history quits out


(From my poetry Collection 'Signatures')
In the kingdom of empty fortresses
In the kingdom
of empty fortresses
my king is not a thing
more than  a forgotten ring
which I worn for many years.
As I enter with
echoing footsteps
certain grandeur threatens me,
yet I go for
a solemn silence inviting
I reach the King’s court.
I swim for distance;
strange it is
how I run
to find all in an emptiness.
sunrays shedding
soundless sighs
when history quits out
with no concern
And I learnt many things
from the kingdom of empty fortresses.
