When all the love is gone

Behold the light fades and rises not

And the cute little stars hide in shame

The moon fears to show her face

And day and night become as one

Here the heavens are shut up tight

And the earth cries out in thirsting

All that is lusty and green withers

Have you read: Village Boy Impressions - Loved at a Glance?

The streams return to the mountains

And the oceans pour out their eternal rage

The darkness return from the abyss

And the mountains explode in anger

Burning all that was once green and fair

Vipers come out in the day to hunt

And the crows hold a banquet at noon

Alas! the nations bare their teeth

And the rulers rage in drunkenness

Oh how kith devour kin

And mothers drown their infants

To entertain their nightly guests.

All roads lead nowhere

And the gardens turn into graveyards.

Have you read: Village Boy Impressions: Serenade to my love?

No, my love, our love cannot die.

For when all the love is gone,

When we let it all wither and die,

There would be nothing left,

No green, no life,

No memory, no beauty,

No flowers, no colour,

Only nasty empty darkness.

I would love through the pain

Smile through the tears

Bleed to keep the grass green

Swallow all my foolish pride

Least all the love should die

And all life becomes a resentful remembrance

Of all that was once good and fair!
