メランコリック 歌 (Song of Melancholy)

Silence filled the deserted place with the lush of green Bermuda grass, shivering whisper of wind and tall trees shedding this desolated place as Michael came and stayed for a moment.

He took the scented candles out from his old bag and calmly lit them with the patient flame one by one. Immediately, he placed them above the smooth marbled plate. Fresh red roses added more beauty to the name engraved - Juliet.  He uttered no words from his mouth sealed with grief and sorrowful memories. Such pain he felt as he sang the song they used to sing when they were still together. In the interim, tears fell down like crystals on his pale face. Suddenly, he pocketed a tiny bottle then stared the liquid inside it, then glancing back to the name of his dearest. Before the sun kissed the calm sea, he emptied the bottle at once.

Momentarily… such a lugubrious silence filled the place once again.

Dancing in the rain

The first time I looked at her eyes, I felt  Cupid’s arrow narrowed down my weary heart. The sound of her voice illuminates a beauty radiantly glowing in the midst of a gentle breeze of cold air like an angel sent from heaven above. 

Teary eyes speckled with gold stared at me and I felt myself melting in front of the huge crowd. Suddenly, a heavy downpour stroke down the earth with big drops of water.  I lost sight of her and my delighted heart turned back pale again. 

My skies turned gray as we parted ways. The melancholic sound of silence has numbed my lonely heart barely breathing under the wrath of the angry rain. Soaked and wet, tiny crystal drops of water fell down on my bursting eyes. I thought my life wouldn’t be easier without her.

 At my surprise, the rain stopped pouring all over my tormented body and all of a sudden, a warm embrace of a leather jacket cuddled around my waste. As I gaze upon this beautiful lady, it burst me to tears upon knowing that she came back for me.

Nobody knows what lies upon us. But the strong and powerful faith in Him will keep us dancing in the rain.

Barely Breathing

Gloomy trees all around

Overwhelming darkness surround

How deafening is the sound

When melancholy seals the mouth

A brink of light is barely glowing

Like autumn leaves slowly falling

The earth is cracking

Every day in the morning

Tears falling like crystals

Fragile and easily shatters

Flowing from faces

Cloaked in vast sadness

Oh! Such a beauty the rose I found

Lucky I was and proud

How long its beauty can last

If the world turns so fast?

Here I am barely breathing

Holding my flower, fading

Hoping that soon once again

I’ll find a rose and start all over again.
