My Tears Flow Like Rivers

A Boy With Roses

When the hand on the watch turns                                                                  

And the candle burns, and the music plays                                                                  

And the light effortlessly shines                                                                              

The drinks flow, and the diamonds                                                                                  

In my mind echo              

 

Everything was going well                                                                                                  

Until this ambivalence threw me to the rocks                                                                      

The lonely waves rushing to meet the shore                                                                  

The boy who never got to love 

 

Soft cascading waterfalls in lucid dreams                                                                    

Pour into the moonlight glittering                                                                                      

The sands, the time, the shifting body                                                                          

The mind and the soul unfolding                                                                              

In this tranquil moment 

 

When the hand on the watch turns                                                            

And the candle burns, and the music plays                                                                  

And the light effortlessly shines                                                                              

The drinks flow, and the diamonds                                                                                  

In my mind echo        

 

Everything was going well                                                                                                  

Until this ambivalence threw me to the rocks                                                                      

The lonely waves rushing to meet the shore                                                                  

The boy who never got to love.

    The boy who never got to love is kind of your anthem. Short and sweet. Nice work.

        • A Boy With Roses

          My life has always been bittersweet, deliberate but irresolute. My work is a representation of my feelings. Thanks for the comment, appreciate you reading.
