I have learnt to deal
And live with pain
Hiding a thousand tempests
My eyes do not rain
You came, you saw,
You conquered, true
But what’s there, my love,
For me at all to gain
It was a loving glance
A longing and romance
That’s all I wanted from you
But all that was in vain
I know my lot
It’s loneliness
My dreams will not
Come true, I guess
My hurried prance
My rain dance
My crazy acts
As if in trance
I couldn’t revive again
My fire song has no more light
My lyrics lost refrain
My vision is blocked by dusty grains
Still my eyes do not rain

Remain as hard rock that knows not what pain and suffering is;
Give expression to your troubling pain, you are in fact welcoming it with open arms;
Pain or gain, it’s a passing phenomenon, so learn to experience it, no matter its chemical reactions created inside of you;
For, a right mixture of pain and its opposite is the ordained recipe we have to taste in our daily food of life and living!
