Solitude

Ero Ogini

In my abode of love

The light went off

No thanks to the inevitable guest

That quenched it without a sense

And in total darkness

Left me to wander in emptiness

 

The birds who cheered me up

With their songs had moved on

Deserted me to another roof-top

To start a new life

 

This lonely residence

Once booming with happiness

Now filled with air of sadness

 

Against my desire

Fate conspired

To put my life asunder
