The Last Day

Upon the face of this earth
So solid,so tangible ,yet so ready

Oh! How ocean lacking light spills woe so!

Wisp of Love
...How many times did I gaze on thy face
In mine daydreams? When spent sun was fiercer;

Mine wane smile died with memories dear sir.

Unflinching Soul
...I am worried
I am in despair
I am tensed
I am in low spirits
My song sounded melancholic
My thought turned pessimistic

Forfeiting moral values, embracing skepticism;
Instability ensues, clamoring in emptiness,
Believing world is futile, life is meaningless,

Severe clear days
I miss you

unfilled, purposeless, full of potential
"What to do? What to do???" I mutter,

My hands push down ballooni......
