My State Of Mind

 

Wednesday, 27 April 2005

Home
candle in the storm
With no destiny
Self imposed blindness
The rude Kilometre
In the darkness of the night
In the grave of my mind
Always bright
Cold Truth
Second Wife
Drunkards

 

(1) A CANDLE IN THE STORM

 

My spirit had been buried

In a deep blue sea.

My heart so broken and empty

I never thought

I would fall in love again

Or rather I had promised myself

Never to love again

Then she walked into my life

And started picking fragments

Pieces of my broken heart

Carefully putting each and every piece

To its rightful place

Caringly nursing the painful wounds

How she got into my heart

I don't even know

Because nobody was suppose to be there

But all the same she lit my fire

It was the healing of the soul

And the liberation of the mind

I was not quite sure, then

On whether to be thankful for finding her

Or regret for finding her late

But now, very grateful, I am

For the love is out of this world

Comfort and support is plentiful

And the pleasure is unlimited

Passion is not a choice, I guess?
