Vacant Bar


Red plush stools lined neatly up along

the bar stood there silent and very sober

waiting for the bar to open, last night had

been a restless one people moving about

unable to sit still, a few had even fallen

off to squalls of laughter. Now silence was

deep and for those who are not seduced by

coloured light and artificial ambiance can

see wear ant tear and sighs hungry souls.

An empty bar speaks not of fun, here is no

mirth draping a chair like a stole on a rich

woman’s shoulder, but of melancholy and

it feels no glee for those who fall into abyss

where laughter is an angst ridden scream
