1. TORN BY THE WINDS OF SORROW

“The fire of love was burning, yet so low
That in the dark we scarce could see its rays
And in the light of perfect-placid days
Nothing but smouldering embers dull and slow
Vainly, for love's delight, we sought to throw
New pleasures on the pyre to make it blaze
In life's calm air and tranquil prosperous ways
We missed the radiant heat of long ago”

Standing still at the end of time
Watching my Life slowly drifted away
Anticipating for the forthcoming darkness
Devouring the remaining fate

Relive the memories I once lived
As my soul becoming ashes, vanishing in hollow
Experience again the myriad fragments of regrets
As they slowly becoming the winds of sorrow

Torn by the winds of sorrow

Torn to pieces in the bleak void
Unbearable rankling anguish
Yet within my weary arms I embraced this memory
Into oblivion I continue to languish

“Then in the night, a night of sad alarms
Bitter with pain and black with fog of fears
That drove us trembling to each other's arms--
Across the gulf of darkness and salt tears
Into life's calm the wind of sorrow came
And fanned the fire of love to clearest flame”
