You are my only swan,
Whose beauty graces the sky.
Your smile ripples my heart of water,
Your eyes pierce the soul of my existence.
Your laughter echoes through my mind,
And your voice calms even my turbulent life.
Your touch feels like the hand of an angel,
Whose warmth melted my icy soul.
In your presence, my soul felt whole,
In your absence, a needle poked a hole.
Yet I yearn for you,
As you are my only swan.
Some souls feel like a breeze.
You can feel them, but you can’t hold them.
You can’t stay attached — even if you want to.
So are you, my only swan.
O city, once a heavenly sight,
How did you fade into soulless night?
O my friend, what can I say?
All was lost to a mighty wave.
Yet I remain to carry the tale
Of the city that all once hailed.
My friend, there was a time
When love flew like a rhyme.
Now deathly silence echoes like a grime,
Yet I say, I am fine.
O Lord, what is my crime?
All I wanted was just to shine.
O moon, still within my sight,
Just tell me… I am right.
O friend listening to my tale
Tell me how can I not wail
O city full of gritty
Let me tell you are the most pretty
Seed sown beside a towering tree
Grew roots in the ground, carefree.
Seed into bud, bud into tree,
Came into the world, a tiny pea.

The pea wept like a lonely bee,
Beside the tree, it found its glee.
Mother, you are my only dream,
You shine upon me like a beam.
