/* Pablo Neruda's 'The Song of Despair' is an inspiration */ <br /> <br />In front of me the four walls closing the ocean <br />And the mortal waves tumble in foams <br /> <br />Between the sky and the ocean, this earth is hapless <br />A silent sigh hushes in a cold breath of death <br /> <br />Rhythms that ornament a song, now moan <br />My path languishes to trade on an inclined slope <br /> <br />Except you. This journey is a lament for destiny <br />A cry of a baby inside a mother's womb <br /> <br />Without you the grass refuses to listen <br />The dews frozen on a stoic stone <br /> <br />Beyond you the sky appears a sunken blue <br />Absorbed in pain with a face so common <br /> <br />Bereft you the moments travel inward <br />A river to get the lost joy inside sands <br /> <br />Leaving you inside a pallid moon <br />A brazen day is only left for me <br /> <br />Losing you inside the tumultuous waves <br />The lonely shore is cold with timid kisses. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />copyright: shamik bose 2010<br /><br />Shamik Bose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/except-you-3/
