THE SUNSET

WHEN THE SKY IS STILL,
AND THE SUN HAS SET,
I SIT BY THE SEA,
AND MY EYES ARE WET……..
I SEE THE BIRDS GOING HOMEWARDS.
THE FISHERMEN RETURNING BACK TO THEIR HUTS,
THE CHILDREN COMING BACK HOME,
AND………….
AND I REMEMBER US.
IN THOSE DAYS ,
WHEN THE SEA SANG A PLESANT SONG-
WE TOGETHER ADORED THE BEAUTY OF THE SETTING-SUN.
WALKING ON THE WET SAND,
HAND IN HAND.
LOST IN THE SPLENDID COLOURS OF THE SKY,
I KNEW YOU WERE MY.
I FOUND MYSELF LOST IN YOUR RADIANT CHARM,
THE WARMTH OF YOUR BREATH AND THE GRIP OF YOUR ARMS.

THE SETTING-SUN STILL HAS ITS BEAUTY UPHELD,
THE SEA STILL SINGS A SONG,
BUT A DOLEFUL ONE,
SINCE THE DAY YOU HAVE GONE.

I COME HERE EVERYDAY,
JUST TO FEEL YOU CLOSE TO ME.
I MAY NOT SEE YOU,
BUT I CAN FEEL YOUR ARMS AROUND ME,
I CANNOT TOUCH YOU,
BUT I CAN SENSE YOU BREATH-
WHICH MINGLES WITH MINE.

AS THE NIGHT SETS IN
I WALK BACK HOME
WITH THE THOUGHT OF LOVE
AND MY HEART HEAVY WITH PAIN.
WITH THE PROMISE
THAT I’LL BE BACK AGAIN,
WITH THE SETTING-SUN………………
