THE LOST PROMISES

As the craving for you within me grows stronger,

The panorama of pain bursts forth getting bigger.

My compassion for you is so wide and deep,

Like a refresh running river that never doze to sleep.

Let me shield you from the turmoil that splits you apart,

Even when hailstones keep hitting hard to my heart!

Let me lull you to sleep and sing a song to you,

Like a bewitching breeze humming to bid an adieu.

Let me kiss away your tears and those hurtful heavy hues,

Like a glue I'll stick to you throughout all your blues.

Let me dig up your hidden joys beneath the boughs of grief,

For I can't see you wither away like an age-old autumn leaf.

Do you remember the day when we faithfully wed?

"When you come, come seeking both of us"- you prayed to death.

Now I don't want to stay alone in a mansion of memories,

All I can do is dreaming for you amid the lost promises.
