Labyrinth of Desire

Lost I am in this labyrinth of desire
entangled and strangled this life couldn't be more dire

Pretention's all I see through this gloomy light
the wind's too blown my soul into a plight

Dispirited I creep along this miry winding lane
to find a way out of this stinging weeds of pain

Pushing against a squall of gall I shove
to have a glance of that cherished love

Tender my heart though, inside hopes still burgeon
will there be a day when I saunter in the rosy dawn
