Mecca

My soul is derelict, forsaken by the universe
Even the sun burns and the moon frowns 
Probably my birth is a misfortune 
Uneven days have stolen my joy
My lover looks upon me coyly 
Unbearable Pain that tears flee
Unknown the origin of this pain

Trekking the desserts of existence 
Darkness clouds my being
Lost in bearings, I gaze to your celestial 
To draw strength
To show the path through life
To see my way through darkness 
To illuminate my soul 

My right hand over my left on my chest 
When I go down and my head to the ground
I cast all my burdens to the earth that birth me
Helplessly trying to find the place 
Where earthlings voyage to find solace.
