Long melancholic nights laden under the weight of despair,
Smothered by clouds mourning within the breezy warm humid air,
Whispering leaves weep under the tropical moonlight,
As chattering crickets conspire amid the shadows of the night,
Flowery petals soaked by the moisture of cynical tears
Worn by the incessant torment of senseless fears,
Restless for the winds of hope and reason
As I await the passing of each painful season

- Colin Ong, Mournful Nights.
