in the misty shadow of the ghastly curtain
that constantly falls in the splendor of the day
smiling lips in a silly grin may bless the way
though wet and the drenching from the rain
a look on oneself so far from your sights
from dusk till dawn not seeing the lights
hurdled by darkness i hold back my tears
only the thoughts of you comforted my fears
like a rose velvety petals with dew drops kiss
in wonders of color, you were there in a bliss
greeting the sun, a bow by those fluttering wings
just to tell time to start only from its beginnings
from each day shall the cold breeze touch the air
with a warm embrace to have and to share
between smiles and tears, i found you so near
yet like a cloud of smoke, i couldn’t touch you dear
