Breathless
Why this gentle breeze
ravages my soul?
Why this moonlit night
sets my heart on fire?
Why this sweet fragrance
renders my wits helter-skelter?
Why my quest for love
binds me to a forlorn fate?
Why does my dawn
draws down a dismal dusk?
Nothing pleases me anymore,
Nothing soothes my soul,
Pray, what has befallen me?
What ails my heart?
