"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.
