As darkness approaches, among corrupt horizons. To the angel in my nightmares- no longer can I survive, chained to such expectations. Let me live in peace, don't let this vessel sink. Show me mercy and, let this heart drown in a thousand petals, immersing in fragile fragrances. So this soul can flow, bathing in illuminating streams, cleansing these painful afflictions.

Your poetic superiority is indisputable ... This is another example ... My perception of the painting has been different ... Thank you so much for liking my poem too and considering it fit for a second place ...
