A Mind In the Night

I stood in the middle of the ocean's palm and travelled along its' finger lines. These blue waves have stolen the infinity of sky, reflecting my fate signs. In my heart there is a blank, as I am left alone struggling with a sea unknown. If you could show me your eyes, I would place your hopes in stars to find height. Instead, I am burned in fires shaken, in sweaty dreams that end with the first light. In other words I search for promises, changing places and opening new doors. Yet, this sea of rain rushes into my expectations, driving me to the same shores. And I am wondering if life owes us our prayers, our tears, our sentiments of glory. If not, then we are condemned to expect a fate, a Spring belated to show a fake story. When nights exceed the dead ends I set, moon is risen laughing at my mortality. In the cold breeze I face my humanity, fighting in a battle uneven and unfair. As time passes through my windows, I betray my existence behind curtains flopped. Eyes of solitude I can't forget visit me between Heaven's and Hell's Gates blocked. I set fire to my pain and from the ashes I give birth to a fate, in which you are not in. The greatest dreams I left behind, a compromise I signed and gained the right of sin. Uncovered distances, chaos in my heart rhyme For the losses I won't accept as my fear prime.
