The Silhouette of Death

My thread is broken and the pearls are falling
In that flood of tears I’m searching for my broken heart
Your silence is my fiery ghost
Wake up dear soul, without you, my life will stop.
Still the breathless whispers of tendering love ringing my ears
While your long soft fingers brushing through my wrinkly hair
Oh dear love, open that beautiful green eyes for one more time
To see this dark miserable eyes and the love inside.
Leaving me and my life in this hell
Like those birds, when you fly to your destined home
In my fathomless flurry of mindless worries I’m surrendered
Sorry for my hasty journey to your side
For one more time I need to lie on your bosom
For a new sunrise and blossoming tulips in your heaven.
