The Silent Streets

Here dwells the silence,
in these hushed streets,
no tales to tell this eve,
among the dead leaves.

no soul around, none at all,
only old edifice, standing tall,
only trees sigh this night,
darkness the extant plight.

intermittently lights yell,
trying for little act of life,
much wasn't there to tell,
slowly, it too faded in night.
