Hell Froze Over

Why did you silently walkout of my life

with no warning and filled it forever with emptiness?

 

Merciless, without a cause, created a void,

dumping me into blistering heat of the hell’s fires

 

Did you realize that you locked me for eternity

into the jail of confinement of the loneliness?

 

Confinement of solitude for me, much severe

than being buried alive, or torture to blindness

 

Without you on my side every second,

comforting warm hugs and showering tender kisses

 

Would be content of a body without any sensations

like a leper, never to know as a curse

 

Happily go deaf without any treat of the

enchanting music you make with your secret whispers

 

Whispers in my heart chanting in love lunacy,

the trance that may make me decline the heavens

 

Blindness is bliss without your smile shining

on me all waking and sleeping moments of my days

 

Even the creator smiled as his hands chiseled

with delicate precision sculpting your unique face

 

Birds feeling the heaviness of their wings have lost

any interest to glide high taking to the skies

 

Have lost their hunger and cruelly refused

to feed their chicks, mindlessly ignoring their cries

 

The herds have lost all their appetite and stopped

grazing and collapsed with their little ones

 

Even the pride have lost their hunger for the prey,

buckling to the ground on their weak knees

 

Rivers do not see any purpose in flowing,

sinking to the earth, as devil famine laughs in silence

 

The fish are jumping out of the water to suffocate

in a mass suicide, with the ever-shrinking seas

 

The Sun is getting cold, as all the planets

have started to shiver a lot in the freezing coldness

 

The stars have lost their shine, and glitter,

as the sky looks scarier than the hell with darkness

 

The world is going on a stop-work strike,

with my life unlit by the scintillating glow of your face

 

How can there be any celebration of life

and love without your smile fueling the whole universe?
