MY HEART IS SOAKED IN SORROW

MY HEART IS SOAKED IN SORROW
                                         after norah jones
© Farouk Asvat

My heart is soaked in sorrow:
Your warm voice etched on my mind

     Eyes dancing with the joys of youth
     I keep running around
     Looking for myself

     My battered guitar
     Wants to sing a new tune
     But my fingers keep drumming
     Out the same old story

     I want to fly away:
     a finch living in a fresh dream;
     footsteps skipping away:
     a pebble skimming upon the water
