Why did you...

Why did you break my heart?

Why did you kill my dreams?

Why did you make my tears flow?

Why did you quit my heart?

Why did you gift me pains?

How can I bear such blows?

All my hours I kept aside,

For you to fill with care,

All my days I waited alone,

My ache you did not spare.

Today I live alone,

In my vacant land,

My breath shattered like glass,

Today I do not cry,

I wait for life to pass.

In My Dreams

In my dreams, you are with me,

You hold me in your arms,

In my dreams, you smile at me,

On my pains you spread balm;

In my dreams, I sing with you,

Our songs of togetherness,

In my dreams, my world is bright,

I delight in your caress;

In my dreams, no fears lurk,

My shadows are bygones,

In my dreams, life shines fair,

I never feel forlorn;

In my dreams, I dream of you,

I dream of blessedness,

In my dreams, all heaven's mine,

For I feel your tenderness;

In my dreams, Oh! in my dreams.

I've Lived My Dreams

In your arms I found my life,

My joy I saw in your eyes,

In my heart my love swirled,

Magic moments, were they but lies?

I have dreamed a thousand dreams

In a moment's togetherness,

I have died a million deaths

In your cruel forgetfulness;

Many a mile I walked alone

To reach your beautiful isle,

Many an hour I stood forlorn

Awaiting your tender smile,

Oh! I've lived my secret dreams

In moments of togetherness,

And I've plumbed the depths

In your cruel forgetfulness.

Story of a Doormat

I am a doormat, stretched on the floor,

Awaiting feet to stomp to my door,

Muddy, bedraggled, they come in rows,

To clean up and freshen, then off they go;

Mat they forget, when safe and secure,

When I am not needed, they simply ignore.

Forever on threshold I lie prone,

Gathering dust, ne'er find a home,

My heart they thrash to beat out clods,

They put me back with pokes and prods.

Farewell To My Day

This day is done,
My songs I've sung,
Dame sleep beckons now,
I'll rest in peace,
My souls retreat,
The ship in anchor stow;

When I awake,

My silence break,

Shores I'll find anew,

In other clime,

Another time,

I'll paint my hues.

Unshed tears

Unshed tears clog those eyes,

Their pathways lost in mire,

Their pain cries alone, in vain,

They yearn for oceans,

To quench fire,to drown self;

In their soul burns

A self created purgatory;

They stand alone, a friendless Sun,

Why do they walk? Why laugh? Why cry?

In world that's not their own?

Rare blossoms come to deserts,

Their gardens e'er in winters groan.

Unshed Tears

Unshed tears clog my eyes
My pain cries alone, in vain,
Crying for oceans to sink,
To drown, my soul burns
In self created purgatory;
Why do I walk? why laugh? why cry?
This world is not my own;
Rare blossoms come to desert sands,
My gardens in winter groan.
I stand alone,
A friendless Sun.
