My solitary sadness weeps on the threshold of the extinguished dream

My solitary sadness weeps on the threshold of the extinguished dream,
Your restless heart dances in shadows like a longing frozen in gleam.
The fleeting birth of a life lost in the past's embrace,
The bloody arrow of sunset silent in its chase.
Killing the deer named "nobody" under the gray twilight sky,
My death debuted on a pale Friday night, without knowing why.
Ears still call the thunder of a rifle's echoing sound,
Guiding the bullet of a new destiny gathering in dreams unbound.
A hard trial at dawn of a longing drilled and barren,
Time passed beyond distances, like a living echo apparent.
My aged youth, stripped bare of all modesty,
Shots ricocheting, irrecurrent, through bitter memories, free.
The end of love for the one who lost their way through us,
Imperceptible vibrations, a soul multiplied, without a fuss.
Our vegetal bodies buried in the same moment's sweep,
Disturbed by a time when birds no longer sing in fields they keep.
Fallen into the dust of a bright and dry void's wreck,
With beaks sifting through diamond dust, without an echo's check.
The gaze of the super thoroughbred animal fades,
No longer willing or kind, to die from nothing, in another world to wade.
Seeking other worlds, infinite in old and clear reflections,
Where without sacrifices, life can't be lived, even once, in rare inflections.
Poets will do us justice, knotting destinies in eternity's scope,
Weaving our story in solitude with metaphors of magic and hope.
