Forlorn

Darkness swallows the earth , I know
night slowly spreads around the hill
only when I hear the call of sparrow
and on the table when I see the sleeping pill.

Oh gifted sleep! come as a gentle woman
and take me into your beautiful heaven
Oh sweet memories! here lies your man
come let's fall in love in the hour of eleven.

Or let me to the hell of disturbing thoughts
it flows and flows as a river in june
but never knows the ways it wroughts
but flows until the sea it reaches soon.

My mind roars aloud like a turbulent sea
for her thoughts come and go like waves
that disturb me even if I'm on the quay
yet I find no place to escape but graves.

But still her face emerges from the heart
as the moon comes out from the cloud
what harm I done? nothing from my part
but declared my love aloud from the crowd.

'LOVE YOU DEAR! I said in a firm voice
as I said before many times in her ears
but it made all the difference in my choice
and the day still disturbs even after years.

She stood bowed in the midst of the crowd
then stared at me as if I did the worst
and turned her face for she was too proud
to admit her love even it's going to burst.

My heart floats on the sky as a broken kite
but let mine not to be a dark cloud forever
that hinders the moon from spreading light
but can any cloud hide the moon forever?

I said! still dare! but what use if you're alone
loneliness feeds me like fire burns the wood
for thoughts make me sleepless and forlorn
yet I long for a tight sleep as in my childhood.
 
Oh gifted sleep! come as a gentle woman
and take me into your beautiful heaven
Oh sweet memories! here lies your man
come let's fall in love in the hour of eleven.
