I was in your mind all alone
Why you have doomed to see my shattered face submerged into the ocean of blues?
I get tired of knocking hard a hundred times
You didn’t hear that my yearning my self lament.
I painted your indelible form on the walls of my tormented bosom,
I sat on the roof of Van Gogh’s Café Terrace and wove a web of love.
Lied on the green wild grassland holding your ethereal hands,
I saw the starry night in the dark
I saw a dazzling cascade in the moon too
I gazed into the water of the lake like an ill-fated narcissist
And saw my portrait, bewildered.
A thousand nights have passed
Now waiting for the annihilation
Zillion atoms exploded into my inner mind
Time stood still in the deep darkness.
The scent of wild wisteria wafted through the air
The stars silently walked behind the mountains in the strange darkness
Indifferently
And merged into the stillness of the night landscape.
