I watch darkness falling down As hills withdraw their shadows And the sunset like ochre
Reddens in color Swallows are at rest for the night The sea breeze still
Silently whispers Above me
There are mad bats flying around Now that the lights are lit I fear the lurking thieve of my heart
That seek its prey like a cruel hunter Here are no grass …just longing And the dust from a lonely dirt road It looks like smoke…in drifting skyward Here are no rivers to shelter my wounds Or to harbor my flowing tears There are only other people Jostling home from labor Herded by dusk together For days I have been waiting And you did not come What happened to you Where have you been all this time My heart is breaking into million pieces How can I handle this Is this the way it has to be How could you do this to me My eyes are searching for you Every pedestrian or stranger Or even a traveler a “maybe”… that’s you But no one see you walking in my mind Are you here or are you that far away Maybe that’s why I can’t see you here Without any shadow of doubt You do live within my heart Forever
Beautiful, yearning and sad all at the same time, Tinka. Never let go of your dreams, for if you do, it is certain that they will never come true. Very nice package, Tinka...everything fits together so nicely.
Take care,
