When her eyes are blank and cold
When there are no ripples of warmth
When they are like a frozen brook in a new moon night
When they look at me still perceive no image
When the darling shy dews are missing
When I keep searching for the sparks of her soul
When her lips forget to make curves
When her smile hides in serious thoughts
When her love falls in a lonely meditation
My Heart again fights with me
My Mind again starts missing me
My Soul again wears the cloak of solitude.
