Without You...

Without you what would I have ?
My mind has established in you,
My dreams are imprisoned in the eyes.

I am aching with pain
waiting for you day after day;
You brought bitter pain of longing
in my life day and night.
The desire of my heart
you could not see,
you filled me with complete darkness.
All I wanted from you was light.

With your ray of love,
open my inner colors, and
pour the hope of life on the
dried earth of my bosom.
Release me from this impediment,
I will get a new life from you,
And, because of you, I will see a new world.
