My shadow lives my life
With strong-mindedness;
Majestic in character and
Sophisticated in fashion
...
Striking a matchstick gently
On the surface of the matchbook
For warming up the winter
Underneath the wetted wooden log
...
Feeling the beguiling charms
Of your beauteous beauty
In my beholding eyes
Like the painted kohl in your eyes
...
Discarded in the gutter,
Trailed by the way of my journey,
A pair of my old worn out shoes
Never to walk in the streets again.
...
