Thriving quietly in cracked walls
A slight ray of colors in grim halls
Love confounded,
Love lost

For as long as time breathed,
Eluding homes and hearts
Thwarting a kindling song even before it starts
Love abandoned,
Love forgotten

Longing souls out in a parade
Moving along with its unfathomable cascade
Of love's winters
And summers
Of symphonies soaring above
Mindless passions and diluted sensibilities
Catching love's clues like detectives in a daze

Shame love had escaped
From better grasps and hastened gasps
That we have to look horizons for a breakaway

Shame love trades
with loose pennies and kept bills
And we are the pathetic shoppers
Latching onto the commodity

Shame love is a dream
Casting a spell on the sleeping believers
Who wish well it transcends on their waking lives

Shame love is dying
That its last breath is a cry
For those who could not remember how to love

Shame love is all we could ever want
And all we could not have
