Unknown Nights

These empty paths have risen their names like a flower withdrawn in the middle of a winter's storm ready to show it's beauty to the world again. Missing the rain's taste on my lips while dancing in the start of a journey the end of the dawn. Nostalgic melodies through the labyrinth of my mind. I never found the creepy monster so I gained no freedom nor redemption as I continued searching for the light of a lost sun. This forgiveness I could not offer as my hands were too carved and empty all these feelings kept falling like sand. Time still writes its' words of lust on my skin. Papers are floating in the sea naked and unprotected like my promises. These winds belonging to Ikarus are now in the bottom of the ocean close to a small boat with no treasure. The distant orders of obligation brought fire in our earth, in our homes. Like Neronas I am watching my country in flames enjoying the music of fire the little sparks of hope that recognize existing life. How could I forget or compare these nights of escape to any others? How could I use the same rope, the same effort to leave the room I was trapped for so many years when all I have left is a memory of a touch? In films I watch you being so far like you never existed like a dialogue without meaning somehow fragile somehow scary. Soul's instincts trembling as I am walking the same roads trying to find the map for a journey I never dared for a country with unknown name. Cruel decisions, unforgettable dimensions of a reality we learn to watch with only two eyes. Missing the rain's taste on my lips while dancing in the middle of my dreams to the start of a myth I hope you love me still as lights are passing through the windows' edges winds I could not carry anymore yet you gave them to send me to the sun and let me burn flaming my mistakes with all secrets I kept for the place we would meet. Unknown nights behind their stars they hide as I lay upon my future as I carry the loads of a past I could not afford Yet trembled in scenes of lasting heaven majorities of shaken truths fallen in planet's egoism to keep surviving the terror of continuing.
