Melodies of Sorrows

Over the chain bridge
shadow overlays the light
Danube is lazing underneath
silence is drifting in fright
You are standing on your tiring feet
An eerie feeling hovers over your skin
pathos pales the face
pain mists the eyes
The eyes, watery deep and swollen
are roaming over the night sky,
You are longing for your loved one
suddenly to stop by
Forced smiles sadden the moist air
no joy, no happiness
a cheerless affair
I wish I could comfort you
kiss your nifty lips,
play with your silken hair,
and breaking the surface of sufferings
scoop out your agony and its tears.

FANTASTIC TITLE AND THE POEM MATCHED THAT SO WELL. "The eyes, watery deep and swollen are roaming over the night sky, You are longing for your loved one suddenly to stop by" SOLID 7....
