Lighthouse

*Another oldie, yet not as ancient as the last one; I sometimes wonder if I should have stayed like this...then I read myself and say "...I'm evolving, it is ok"; enjoy please =)* Your garden just choked And the desert from nowhere rose You sailed into the kingdom Built out of tears that love Loners sail in cursed boats Cursed boats don’t marry a cloud Clouds send comfort in rain Rain…not available for now The wind is just silent No sunrise or sunset in sight Black tears, polluted pearls They are pure poison Avoid temptation or kiss Death Shadows rise in the horizon Dancing melodies build a path Into my humble dominions Come in Be in peace Learn about love, from a poetic sea Remembered by a forgotten coast They bring you to me A former tulip, married to a rose I’m the old man from the lighthouse Broken souls, invited you are Whenever bad memories turn into mist Come and feed from my light
