At the shores of my mind
Burning desires adrift
Longing for a soul so kind
A need for the only true gift
A little love to stir up some waves, but
Hope has drowned here long before
For flowers no place on this shore
'Cause deserts bear more fruits of live
Cold and dark this sea within
An endless ocean of strife
The waves long ago forever tamed
I have come to know what is mine
A loneliness as deep as time.
