Crimson Night

My soul I could hold no longer
From the stillness of the sea,
Which ensues fervent visions,
To a sad remembrance of you
-
Laying here, pondering,
As the air of winter tinges my cheeks
By the shores concealing,
Such memories of our love,
Still visible
In the sand so cold and heavy
-
How my heart tugs
At the eternity of the oceans
Swallowing my tears
Carried away into a place
To descend down a cataract of sorrow
Very well hidden from the world
-
How my body collapses,
To the consuming ambiance of night
Alone, in a space I shared,
As it seethes inside
How the kindling has died
By the waters so dark, so serene,
With a glow of sweet moonlight...
