The thunderstorm has upborne

as my ship keeps sinking —

I wonder,

are you waiting on the farther shore,

or are you lingering?

Tell me you're not waiting for the ship to sink.

How sore I've made your heart —

I didn't know.

I hope my tears be

merciful showers for you.

Can I expect you to

overlook the drought I brew?

If not that, my life, I hope,

is enough price to pay.

And if even that falls short —

view this priceless scenery

through my eyes.

Breathtaking, this view —

strangely,

not a breath left to take away.

Adieu, you — but at least

be there where I am finally laid.

That is, of course,

if my body is found.

Shamefully, I won't turn up

for the request I've made.

What is it that

your eyes tracing.

I can’t tell

But they pierce through my heart —

Love’s gushing out,

Don’t rush to grab it baby;

There’s always more for you.

But, hold me now,

And contain it all.

And while I'm pouring out

My affection,

Must I say you’re free to

Go a little crazy —

Fill me up,

Only you.

Such state of frenzy.

 

Not the end yet —

Invitation accepted.

To what extent are you

Captivated now?

I beg to know what your

eyes are tracing more.

forget it—

close them now,

and feel me more.

 

Emptying the lake

Slow and steady,

But I’m making haste now

Since I am greedy.

 

Picking up my pace,

My scrawny hands won’t do

The water keeps falling through

The debt is huge

 

Pay mind,

I can’t pay price

There’s no turning back

The way was never right

 

My hands are getting skinnier

The lake unchanged

All my effort’s in vain

At the end,

the lake remains,

swallowing pain.
