In the Cold Light of Day !
Oh how we
loved !
With
every breath, we fought for love.
With
every second, we grew to become one.
With
every thought, we devoured each other.
With
every touch, we ignited yet another star in the firmament !
Alas !
What
happened ?
In the
cold light of day ?
The softness,
The urgency,
The love,
The joy,
The desire
and
The
desperation.
Where is
it all now ?
In the
cold light of Day !?!
Thought a thousand
things,
Conquered a thousand
fears,
Built a thousand
empires,
Loved a thousand times.
Alas !
Tiz all but vapour,
In the cold light of Day
!
Yester night !
My every breath was
sweet perfume for thee.
My every word was nectar
to thine ears.
My every pore, poured
forth a heady wine of love for thee.
My every embrace was
silken soft.
Thou said
it so !
Alas !
In the
cold light of Day,
Why dost
thou discards me like a skunk ?
Why dost
thou discard me like a rice husk ?
Why dost
thou discard me like an empty wine cask ?
Why dost
thou discard me like a used rag ?
What
happened ?
in the
cold light of day !?!
In
excitement,
I clutch
at stars,
countless
stars in the velvety sky.
In
excitement,
I bring
my closed fist to my face.
I open it
slowly,
Least
they should spill.
Alas, on
opening,
tis empty
!
In the
cold light of Day !
