Find Me

Where will you find me
If I run away in agony,
Hiding all my pain,
Of missing you again?

Where will you find me?
Behind the gallows tree,
Singing songs of melancholy,
And swinging in the tree?

Where will you find me?
In the deep blue sea,
Swimming across a channel,
Or mithing behind a hill?

Do you think I would fly,
Into the moonlit sky,
Moving from you afar,
Concealing behind a star?

How will I flee,
Leaving you lonely,
Despite our loyal vows,
Despite our virtuous love?

Where will you find me?
Seek me in your glee;
I will be dancing in delight,
In the joy of my dearest.

Find me in your sorrow,
I will comfort you in your woe;
Find me in your pride,
For I will be your glorious coronet.

Find me in your angst,
I will strengthen your heart;
Find me beneath your lovely soul,
For that is where I truly dwell.

Love me, love me!

Love me in the times of my felicity,
When I sing in joy and party.
Love me in my fury,
When I am wild and sassy.
Love me in my fright,
When the world around me seems eerie and aberrant.
Love me when in disgust,
As I loathe and detest.
Love me when I'm grief-stricken,
Bereaving in despair and pain.
Love me all through my lifespan;
Love me unconditionally without exception;
For I had been through all these,
Intermixed all my days.
Yet, I love you to the core
With truth, vehemence and vigour;
I will love you forever,
To the eternity with fervor.

Empty Heart

What is it
That I live for?
For wealth, wit - or
For the sake of amour?

Who do I
Live for?
As a night sky
Without a star.

Life seems emptier
And incomplete
Without my lover
Who is my twilight.

I seek you
All day and night
In all my woe
And my delight.

I am a desert
With just a mirage
Of joy and content
Concealing the image.

I am just a nobody
Without you,
Void and empty
Without my beau.

Appraisal of Love

How shall I gauge my love for ye,
Compare it with the length of the sky,
With the depth of the sea,
Or with the tenderness of the apple of my eye?

Each time I embrace you,
I feel the love flourishing inside,
Oozing from my soul anew,
Flowing all through my body and mind.

As is the nectar in the flower,
So are you and I;
Preordained to be together,
As long as we survive.

A day without you is more
Like walking through the Hades.
I will love you forevermore,
Until my breath fades.

Loneliness

I never knew what loneliness was
Until she left me in a lurch.
It all happened within seconds,
Before I could recognize she had vanished.

Each moment without her
Appeared like abyss;
I awoke trembling in my slumber,
As she flashed before my eyes.

I can't help my eyes pricking
Each time I think of her.
Tears percolate as spring
Though it has been months since her departure.

The most powerful weapon, death,
Took her away from me;
She returned to the earth
Leaving me lonely.

How will I see her again?
How will I ever talk to her?
She had decomposed in the terrain,
Leaving me in misery and displeasure.

She is not my sibling or my love,
She is not my mother,
But to whose love I always bow,
She is my guardian angel, my God mother.

She raised me as her own daughter,
With endless love and care;
How will I ever forget her?
How will I show her my honor?

"True love never demands
Anything in return"
This is what I had learned
From my loving guardian.
