1. Why, when lightning bolts blazed,
Did you stand at the harbor of memory

2. Despite the wailing of my heart
And the raging winds of departing intentions

3. And when the flames kindled my heart
You shot me with the arrows of fleeting love

4. And you leave me as if you had never been
Lost on the path of faltering steps

5. So I no longer have a sanctuary in love
Nor am I that poetic self

6. And my night that was once my companion
And my cup on the wakeful terrace

7. Has become in the haze of absence
A stranger to my confused heart

8. Losing its way, time folding
Visions on the passing cloud
