Thirstful Cloud

Heavy cloud am I , wandering
Upon the dark sad sky.......
Laden I am;
Still with thirst I wither!
Hoping to find some appreciation
When I fulfill you with my love......
And sweet intoxicating scent from you softly arise
To drift me away from the darkness, with tears,
And I will be lost, somewhere in you....
Ending my life with a bliss
I ne'er ,in my life, found....
Earth! desire me with all your heart...........
