Lost

Here I lost in a midst Of darkest sky;
          the plane I rested therein carry
      me into the dark cloudiness, where
             It all of a sudden vanished.
             My soul deluges with haste
              like the rain falling from
      the blossomless sky. The stars that
             are to rescue me are brittle;
          throw at me their dimples smile

           You-----you engulfed my smile
             with your absorbing heart as
          leaves engulfed in the months 
           of  hottest sunshine.    Your
      warmth vows pore upon me icicles.


                Here I bury my head,
                  hope you see me,
               hope  you  see  me   in
               amidst of abyssal lake
            Originated from my eyes. 
                      I am sinking
                      I am sinking.
