Adieu, My Love
Throgh the clamor of distressful days
I live in soulful memory of my ‘girl’
In vain, I keep my door ajar
For her light footsteps, once more to fall
On my lonely bed, I often turn around
For her closeness whenever I feel alone
Through dingy corridors, wildly stray
After elusive shadows, wander forlorn.
I know she is in some far Paradise
Her eyes feasting on the glory of each new dawn
With fadeless flowers blossoming around
And endless mysteries in all marvels born
Though an emptiness often engulfs me
I am reminded of the love she has graciously left
That she used to avow between tender sighs
Whenever I lay silent on her cleaving breast
I know, I am now a lone, weary traveler
Slouching unsteady as my life moulders
But with stoic endurance, I shall bear
My hefty baggage on my weak shoulders
Now I wait for the fading of the night
For another new dawn yet to break above
To begin life all over anew
To be united evermore with my dainty Love
Till then… till we are one, my love
Farewell! Farewell, my sweet dove!!
