But Poetry? Shut Up now

I may have run out of expressing 
or so my mind believes, maybe no one needs to hear it, read
But my poems were not for them to either
It was me, wishing for a storm in the calm and vice versa
A want of paradoxes, in the mundane
Life, and it has passed
Transmuted to nothingness, and nothings
Sweet neither, bitter nor
Then what should I write for
The days pass without furore 
I have rested my thoughts in the inescapable wince of living
I need not write, in musings or ponderings
This life and I fought, hard and lost
I didn't, maybe it did
But, we don't speak of it to the other
Here under the darkness of night, sleep arrives whenever 
Wake, too gets the same preferential paths
Between these, I work, play, life goes on
I do not seek to engage,
Nor, I do not wish to know why
