LIFELESS RIVER                                                  LIFE IS SYMBOLIC



                                                                                                                       Lost and lonely;                                                Remember, an oath took place
                                                                                                                       Alone, in my own                                                Between the salt and sugar
                                                                                                                       Solitude                                                        The salt will melt in your lust;
                                                                                                                       Walking, wandering,                                             Sugar will dissolve in my blood!
                                                                                                                       Wondering, worrying,                                            Remember the betrothal took place
                                                                                                                       Under the grip of the                                           Between the seed and the soil;
                                                                                                                       Souls of darkness,                                              The soil will smell in your armpits!
                                                                                                                       Living at the banks of                                          The seed will burst in your love;
                                                                                                                       A blue river, in a small                                        Remember the sun will burn to ashes
                                                                                                                       Hut, built by mud and clay,                                     Moon will drown into the deep ocean;
                                                                                                                       The stagnant water, not so deep,                                Sky will open its umbrella when there is no rain;
                                                                                                                       No lights, no clouds, no moon, no stars                         Heart will speak to heart in a night’s pain
                                                                                                                       The water was dark like my own life,                            Love is an in-patient; in patience;
                                                                                                                       Within the water                                                Lust is an out-patient; no patience!
                                                                                                                       Was cold blooded,                                               Body becomes violent; break-through
                                                                                                                       Just as my soul felt.                                           Mind always silent; makes-it-thorough!
                                                                                                                       I missed the feel of                                            Whether it is day or night,
                                                                                                                       Sun on my skin,                                                 A white candle cannot burn
                                                                                                                       The feel of a soft breeze                                       Without a red fire at all, hence
                                                                                                                       Through my hair,                                                Burn me, until i become the ash….
                                                                                                                       The smell of rain in the air.                                   Life is symbolic; it is cross in a fire,
                                                                                                                       It felt as if i had been in this                                My love to you is a symbol of a
                                                                                                                       Dark place all my life,                                         White candle, and our life is red fire,
                                                                                                                       But missed living, i lost and all that                          Burn me, until i become the ash….

                                                                                                                       Due to this lifeless river.                                     @Williamsji maveli
