In mild breeze.....

In mild breeze, at the ocean’s feet,
through lighthouse window, towards the creek.
I saw her, my love, sitting on a lonely rock.

And as I walked towards her,
she greeted me with a lovely smile,
I love you – I told her – from my heart and soul,
and will give anything to be with you, even for a while.

But my words, wearied her smile,
and with the angry ocean, spitting its waves,
She said – Its not the destiny for us to pave,
that beautiful road and walk even a mile.

As the night darkened and crabs came out,
I saw in troubled waters, many silhouetted ships.
“Why don’t you love me?” – I wished to shout,
But there were no words,
and only the tears drenched my lips.

Then she started to leave on a journey unknown,
I pleaded – give us a chance,
to be together for a lifelong dance.
But she left, without a care how I feel,
cutting a wound that even time won’t heal.
Now only as a painful memory she remains,
to linger on as the time slowly wanes.
