Those who tasted where elated
Savouring the moment while it lasted
Behold now the piece of a broken heart
It is a lonely road
Where is my tower of refuge?
Dear love, to me be restored
It was a vapour inhaled
To the point of inebriation
Till the winds bore it away
Consumed by nostalgic reminiscence always
Yet surviving all the way
It was a phantom we called love
The earth is yet to receive our dust
The bridge is broken
The chasm swallowed our bliss
Who can take me across?
Though I brave the odds and cross
Will I still meet you?
The look in your eyes, when we held hands
Once, you called me breath
Son of my mother, behold the golden rule of
passion
Trouble not the floodgates
