Bliss

In the dark alleys of loneliness, 
a shadow of love and affection becomes the only ray of hope,
the search continues in daydreams and anxious thoughts,
only to discover the truth, I am the only person who truly deserves my love and affection.

How do I get rid of my loneliness, how do I find the true love,
Life is a boat in the river of emotions, partners like travelers come and go,
Dwelling in past, remembering the fond moments, soothes my mind,
But the past is past, time has slipped by, the waves have withdrawn from the shores.

In the dark and silent rooms of loneliness, a flickering candle gives me some hope,
The dreams of loving future abound, but they disappear when I open my eyes.
The present stands still by my side, invisible like the air I breathe in,
If I concentrate my mind on the present, may be the fog will lift with penetrating sunshine.

We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think,
No one saves us but ourselves, No one can and no one will,
We ourselves must walk the path, and when the mind is pure,
joy will follow like a shadow that never leaves.
