Sea of Melancholy
The gloomy sky falls, wrecks my starry night,
the moon splits in shroud, dissolves in the dark.
You disappear out of my wistful sight,
on a journey of timeless search I then embark.
When grim clouds gather, the storm blows strong
with thunders from the shattered sky gray,
I hear the tune of my falling ruin’s sad song,
as I wait withdrawn for you to bring a new day.
My feelings seek the glint of your enticing glow
to show you how in the torrent of tears
the splinters of my broken heart flow
in the river of dismal depression for years.
Across the frozen shadow of the past within me,
in the sea of melancholy the present moments sink.
The rays of the undying hope I still see,
as dreams of longing flash in my eyes in a blink.
