The River of Pain

THE RIVER OF PAIN Oh! All she ever loved All she ever wanted Was to swim with me in that river of Joy To stay by the water side To look in my eyes Hold me in her arms, and tell me; I love you! You mean the world to me! Will there be a day; you will take me to altar! Look to my eyes and make those solemn vows I can’t wait my love and my life, she said! The river of Joy where we draw hope Where we share thorns and nice times Where life is most beautiful Where we share our dreams Please, hold me with gem hands And take me to summit part of the river of Joy To have a cute swim of the day! I should have followed her The only one that makes my heart beat I watched her, been tossed by the rage of the sea I saw her waving good bye to me, the third time She cried frantically in the whale’s mouth Oh… my love, forgive me for this never- return journey I knew she would have liked to say more As tears flow from her eyes Like a turbulent stream on her cheeks Oh! How so cold she was But the whale could not hesitate My spirit yearns for you Even in the spiritual realm What use is this life for me! Life exist because one needs breath One eats food for healthy living One gives birth for life proceed Some marry because it is necessary Some quest for money for merry life But all I ever wanted was my Mirabel But money, marriage, birth, food, breathes; It is nothing to me, to “my love Mirabel!” The river of Joy has taken my breath away The river of Joy has taken Mirabel My river of Joy has turned against me And now, my river of pain!
