Shattered Heart

In the purplish dark night, Stars twinkling and gleaming With the rhythmic randomness... In the soft breeze and velvety chill Shivered the frail shrubs and tiny buds in their sleep... Romancing the clouds and stars, Was the moon with his Irresistible and unignorable glow... The lake's rustle and ripple Breaking the silence of the night So dark, though inviting and tranquil... There was I, absorbing it all Trying to forget my loneliness That made my tears run, Rolling down like pearls Deserted by their beloved shell.. Heavy and hurt, there I stood Recollecting the times when it was different and beautiful But now it was just a memory Like a fragrance left just to feel Of a flower long withered... All I had now was just me and.. my shattered heart
