The Lost Days

 


(Based on ‘Allegro Vivace’ from ‘Piano Sonata No.24’ by Ludwig Van Beethoven)

 

Beside the lake,

Beneath the moonlight,

The lake whispered,

The hidden words of love…

 

The moon glistened

Upon the meadow, emitting

Its beautiful melody, while

Shining upon us, where we lay

Your eyes locking me in…

Beside the lake,

Beneath the moonlight, which

whispered…

 

Whispers of

Some long-lost love…

Whose secrets, spilled

in this moonlit night.

 

Your eyes,

Spoke of some words…

Sentences invisible,

Your lips smiled, hypnotizing

me, as we lay there

Beside the lake,

Beneath the great old stars…

 

Now, as I lay in my chair

Thinking about those days,

Where we spent laughing and holding hands,

As we o’er looked the Sun, glistening

on the lake…

 

Oh, will we ever get those days back?

Those moments of tender silence?

Those moments where our lips touched

imparting our love, beneath the oak trees?

Alas, time flies by too fast,

And here I am, sitting in my chair

Methinking the memories of the lost days…

 

Your laugh tinkles,

Tinkles in the air…

Your words now are, but

a shadow of the ruins…

 

Ruins of those lost days, where

we imparted our love, in the gentle breeze,

beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Where we lay in one’s hands,

Relishing the maddening breeze…

 

Now, all are lost…

Lost as those days…

I dunno where are you now…

You left me no trace!

And so, here I am – sighing

Tears of happiness well up, and

I try to collect them in a flask, so

That, when I drop ‘em down

Down the mind’s Pensieve,

The lily of the lost days shall bloom again…

 

Beside the lake,

Beneath the moonlight,

The lake whispers again,

Whispers the hidden words of love…

 

The moon glistens still upon

the meadow, still emits

its beautiful melody…

The melody heard in those lost days…

And the breeze still whispers

Whispers lost words of love…

Oh, the love of those old,

Lost days!
