Re: Imitate a song from an existing old tune

As I ponder, I ponder, my heart's lake stirs with ripples vast,
A painter's hand, oh painter's hand, yet fails to grasp your graceful
mast.
For you, I lend a helping hand, enduring hardship without a sigh,
In dreams, your charm unfolds, passions raging, I can hardly contain the
tide.
Alas, the words "marriage" and "destiny" are ever so misaligned,
The path of mortals, rough and steep, love deep yet fate often blind.
What can we do but hold our grief, as longing turns to relentless pain,
Leaving us but sorrow, in the depths of the night, where love's fire
burns without relent.
