SUNKEN

Stars will still shine…
Despite lonely nightingales singing amidst the wispy rainfalls
The night’s subdued and dreary…
Dark moonlit spark reflect on the desolate waters
of the rivers of emptiness…

Now it’s over…
The wind feels misty,
Notwithstanding the radiance of your smile,
Is all I see,
Is all I aim,
I desire,
I long for…
And wish…
I could…
Foresee the blaze of your fierce eyes…
Wish I could…
Envision the blush of your cheeks…
The radiance of your voice,
The glimmering words I long to hear the most…

Nonetheless,
The gray clouds go on their ways…
Sometimes abandoned,
All forlorn…
And without another day to anticipate,
Without direction
Of where this space is gonna go…
And when this solitude is gonna end…
Can’t it wait till dawn?
My love gone…
My heart shattered…
My mind empty…
The waiting’s in vain…
No more…
All has vanished…

Despair now no more…
Love still true, even in the distance,
Work together like hollow hearts…
Still not a lie,
Still the birds fly high…
Still the clouds will have another day…
Not sunken, not worthless…
Goodbye my love…
