In the heart of the night, with Chopin as the ally of silence

In the heart of the night, with Chopin as the ally of silence, Looking towards the sky, I wonder, who shall listen, Knowing illusions fade, but you are eternity, I'd summon you to me, through some conjuration, maybe. I taste your kiss, a memory and reality, I shiver and am clothed both by cold and passion, starkly, I'd sleep, but the dream that you might disappear tries me, The thought of you being taken by a lofty wave frightens me, dearly. Tomorrow, where will you be, in this vast world? I fear a capricious and cruel fate might be unfurled, For perhaps you'll be caught in a web, with no escape, In the boundless heights of the celestial vaults, an astral wraith. My love is like a war, a mystery pure, Nothing can take me away from your consuming flame, for sure, I wouldn't give up this passion, mystical and pure, For a quiet destiny, in an eternity devoid of allure. My hand that knew your softness, If it were to be taken and thrown into darkness, I'd find you, rebel angel, at every crossroad, wide, Or I would crash down, a victim of love unfulfilled, inside. Eternal existence might be a blessing or a burden to bear, But I'd offer this eternity to all, even to the worst, I swear, Just to live beside you, a moment, a second, an hour fair, And then to crash down, like a lost star in a heavenless sky, rare. We look at each other, and in this gaze, we lose and find our realm, Time seems to slow, yet slips away in a tireless overwhelm, I rebuild myself with every dawn, in every chant, every hymn, Knowing you, perhaps, believe that my love is a fatal blade's helm. The streets are our prisons, each with its own fate to attest, I head east, you to the west, in contrast, we are pressed, A mystical discord, like a fierce wind, keeps us apart, unblessed, Rewriting the same old story, an unending dance, an eternal quest. The distance between us is greater than any galaxy's span, In the theater of our life, the final act nears its plan, Shadows of past love follow us, with melancholy as they began, And the tragic play of destiny continues, every card on the table ran. A single glance embraces an eternity of farewell, So many emotions in a simple touch, they swell, Embrace your memories, time will betray you, I know, I love you in every detail, in nothing and in everything, a constant flow.
