Without You

One spring without a swirl is a puddle
One beach without a sea is a desert
One house without a roof is a ruin
One sprout without flowers is kindling 
One shout without a voice is a whisper
One lion without grassland is a zoo
One sea without waves is a swamp
One lightning bolt without thunder is a scrawl
One sky without stars is a woven cloth
One monk without prayers is stingy
One freedom without limits is anarchy
One night without daybreak is hell
One world without love is a planet without sun
And love without you is eternal pain
