That one feels the urge
To sit somewhere
And weep to the heart’s content.

The Longing of December Nights
In the nights of December,
There’s a wistful charm so captivating,
That one feels the urge
To sit somewhere
And weep to the heart’s content.
The winds carry tiny drifting clouds,
As though the whispers of memories,
Sending a cool, soothing wave
Through the depths of the soul.
The air is so serene,
As if a friend sits beside,
Unfolding the tale of their sorrows,
Sharing the weight of their heart.
But where are you?
Come to me.
Let me share the story of my grief with you.
Come, let us sit together somewhere,
And weep till our hearts are light again.
***
Eyes Untired by Tears
My eyes know no fatigue,
Even after the endless labor of tears.
The ache of your absence,
The longing for your presence,
Lies etched deep within me.
I lay myself upon the very ground
Where every step of yours once graced,
As if the heat of my weary soul
Might compel me to rise and move.
Yet, this yearning,
This relentless longing,
Has seized my soul,
Leaving me bound in the chains of your memory.
