Alive

Tyrannical tedium of loneliness

Sucking out the last breath of happiness

I trudged wearily, of company devoid

Dejected, listless, hopeless, annoyed

Ennui enveloped me like a shroud

My sky was covered by a dark cloud

No will to live, no ambition to achieve

Nothing to trust, no one to believe

**

Then one day, my life took a somersault

Sunlight filtered through a crack in fate’s vault

Love came to me, like the freshest blossom

Invigorated me, brought a sensation awesome

Every pore of me was suddenly alive

In  the ocean of pleasure now I could dive

The greyness of clouds, to silver gave way

Resplendent in love was my perfect day.
