Searching white streaks in sullen clouds
thousand thoughts clutter an empty mind
cry of seagulls drown in wave of sighs
torments a lonely soul, in sad eyes
An elegant spring day lost in vapid heart
embosoms a winter night, too cold for me
a blanket of misty memory on icy tears
torments a lonely soul, in sad eyes
Crashes a landslide of melancholy rocks
cannibal guilt tears in twinges of pain
within half peeled layers of numb skin
torments a lonely soul, in sad eyes
Longing warmth of love, a wildfire burns
charcoal ash remains, in a cobweb corner
"Give up all dreams", howls a blinded sight
torments a lonely soul, in sad eyes
I reach the edge of a mountain,
a lurid stream flows down to sea,
and in bitter briny breeze, I live for everyone.
Only my lonely soul , I miss...
and in comfort of my sad eyes, then I cry

I am worried
I am in despair
I am tensed
I am in low spirits
My song sounded melancholic
My thought turned pessimistic
My emotion became lifeless
My life seemed purposeless
My heart lost its rhythm
Cold shivers rippled my blood
My pulse missed its beat
Vacuum nested every nerve of my head.
I started my journey from somewhere to reach nowhere
I found myself toiling in the sands of dreary nightmare
I continued my cruise on the shoreless ocean
Searching for a home in an unknown destination
Life seemed to be a battlefield and I transformed into a weaponless warrior
Fighting with an unknown enemy for a mysterious reason
Tears were racing with the valley of blood
Anguish supplanted the graveness of a flash flood
Having fed with very little hope of survival
I gravely waited for the life's arrival.
Sailing unchaperoned in the gigantic world,
I realised that life is a personalized game and the triumph embosoms the unflinching souls.

In my dreams
I see you clearly
I reach out to touch you
And you hold me in your arms
I feel your tender caress
As you envelope me
As your love embosoms me
And my pain melts away
When I awake
I am alone and breathless
But content and at peace
