Sadness Touching The Sky

Sadness Touching The Sky

My sadness touches the sky and rains
Heaven shows my pains in showers
Descending in wet emotions
Covering my dark atmosphere
As all my tomorrow’s
Suddenly sink in heavy seas
Drowned by the gravity of
Your silent departure.

If melancholy weeps as a sad guitar
My song will echo and ripple
As a pebble mourning your name
Naked and so ashamed
Face in my hands out loud
Trying to recite your memory
In rituals and gestures of
Your life breathing again.
