Longing

The caress of the wind, the midnight breeze
The smell of yeast when it slides thru your lips
And the strings dances when it hit the tips
your fingers, brings music to my ears!

The night is young, but the stars shone down
It smiles to the other, it showed no doubt
And the fields began to light up, the shadows echoed out
The music continues, it never frowned...

And the night went on, it wished to never end
It wished the sun would not rise,
It wished to continue to send
The warmth of the music...
The caress of the wind...

The stars had shown more light,
The night comfortably receives...

But the wind has blown to another field...
The stars, concealed, it stands firm
And the heart of the night seems to wander...
How it was blinded with all the blunder?

Seek thru your soul, I cannot see!
Seek thru your heart, I cannot feel!
The warmth, the caress, and all the light...
It’s lost, all lost... and darkness embarked!
Glittering stars, oh why have you gone?
Now the fields seem empty, and the clatter has begun
The noise, deafening.
It pierced thy heart 
The heart, regretting.
Not unscathed...
Left scarred...
And yet, still, it was longing...

Dear Loneliness...

You have again awaken me from my deep slumber
Crawled into the night like a thief who wanders
And stole the thought of a harmless traveller
Seeking a way out of a life, empty of grandeur

You have slain the happiness, the soul has scarred
Renewed the passion, the mind has barred
And the secrets you whispered
Seems to me, absurd
How you know all memories I burned!

You are mischievous, you are a sly
You know all the tricks, yet you know not to lie
For the truth that I hid, resists to die
And refused to be seen by the naked eye

Loneliness, I know you will not leave
You are part of my soul, you lie here beneath
And you shall not release me, until you are free
For the one who holds you, is no other than thee
It is my heart, I know from within...

Over

this is the taste of defeat
the white sands wash over
your feet
the sun rises, glares..
then sinks
the days have ended
i succumb to thee
the loss of love
a love that scarred
a touch that burnt
is now a defeat
Cheers!

Frozen

The streets are dark
There’s no one out there for me
You have left me here
And now I remain here waiting
Waiting for nothing

I have felt my heart crushed
It was nothing imaginable
You have left my chest empty
A hallow space without any light
And now I was left here just standing still

No movement, no slight glance of life
Just frozen
You have kept me here alive
But now I’m just frozen
