Museum of Lost Souls

I sank my fragile being in delights of dew 

Waltz on cheeks of people, through mosaic of eyes 

I also whispered HIM, when He tried to rain 

My secret bits of wishes... returning to the fields 

 

I dove into abyss so to revive with grace 

and let my deer absorb me surviving drought of soul 

But Keeper of The Cage allows me only be 

A maze of salty traces on lifeless eyes of beads... 



for HGarvey Daniel Esquire's Contest "Personify A Tear "

written as a teenager and translated now ....
