Between the Worlds
The koels’s shrilled song followed me
As I turned towards the dark path
In muted silent tones...
The frogs croaked along
The darkened flowers in misery
Hung their tender necks~~
Only the ivy climbed
This moonlit chateau
As my soundless steps reached its ancient arch
**The creaking door welcomed me in
And there amid the silent shiny dust
He waited for me to heal~~~~~~~
As his boring eyes entered my soul
My bleeding wounds disappeared***
I followed him into the chamber
Amid the stony effervescent ghosts
The chateau a silent testimony
To this union of the worlds...
