REVEALING LYRIC
There
was once I looked like a leaf withering
Facing
dreams nights crying over my appearance,
Hearing
in the cold penthouse crickets whispering
Arousing
dole in their monotonous perseverance.
I
then seemed nearly to be kind of alga blades
Drifting
along with such an immense water flow.
Where
was each petal of time falling in the shakes
To
make my poor lonely soul so tinted with woe?
I
felt myself similar to a willow dried and bare
Standing
lonesome by that roadside segregated
Listening
to the coming autumn in a breach of air
No
more past halo: for what was it to be waited?...
But
now, however, all of a sudden, I've had you
A
little love which both of us just got fondly lit.
Oh
yes, how this passion acts as a ball of fire due
To
light my heart with innermost feeling in it.
I
had experienced half of my dear existence
And
it had left me only the moment of grief rife.
Let
me use that remaining half of my subsistence
To
share with you the ups and downs of our life.
