"The Darkened Sky Stole my Tears"
**************************************************************
The Darkened Sky Stole my Tears
With my heart shattered in tiny fragments
Dark clouds within me clashed with each other
Inducing tears from my eyes like torrents
As I reminisced the torn love letters
Flung with force away in the open air
Laying my fractured heart open and bare;
Hot tears rolled down my cheeks like a river
Coursing to the distant dreadful deep sea
Driving deep down my ribs a cold shiver
Eliciting from me a pungent plea
With my head pining with persistent pains
And my mind shrivelling with stress and strains;
In midst of the raging inner tempest
Memories of sweet days spent together
Haunted the films of my mind with regrets,
Memories of scents shared with each other
Memories of melodious music
Swapped with each other sounded acidic.
Battling with the inner wild woeful waves
I tried to reach the crest of the current
With all my strength the sturdy storm to brave,
But I was blown by the rushing torrent
With tears still dripping deep down from my eyes
With my heart still shaking with a sad sigh.
Alas, darkish clouds gathered in the sky,
Auguring awful thunders on the way
Heralding still greater storms in the high,
The darkened sky stole my tears right away
As I had to bolster doors and windows
To avert still more unwanted shadows.
