The Light of Love

I must beware before I beseech thee again, unseen Love
For I beseech in vain

But my heart compels me to cry out to you again
Please, bask me in your sunlight?!?
You cannot just leave me here in my despair

For the precious moments of my life are passing away unnoticed
Uneventful
Crushed and wasted

These are restless years with stormy eyes and
Sadness bears the fruits nurtured by my tears

My heart has grown weary for Love never heeds to my cries
And I cannot awaken to another day's solitude

So I drown in the moonlight and softly surrender my worldly life
Silent delirium screams at my despondent spirit and
My breath, submerged in asphyxia

I welcome the shroud that covers my eyes and
I renew my unloved soul in death

In another time and in another place
I will walk this earth again
Until the light of love smiles upon my weary spirit
