– Editorial Team
Before the sky will be bereaved
Of the lately smiles of the sun
Some lovely lyrics will stune
Deeply down my eardrum &
Plant some particles of euphoria
Roaming the valleys of my soul.
And when next I am dead
Sing no song of sorrowful verses
To mourn a living-dead like me
For even the Nightingales sing
Only of those who sleep & sigh.
Truly, when next I wake / if I can
May those broken pieces
Of a stenchy song be melted
Like a deliciously cooked iron
Into the hands of a blacksmith
For I feared much its melancholy.
