Such a Hidden Love
it is quite hard to believe that a whole forest
a castle and all the servants were petrified
just because a crazy old lady doomed a girl
to fulfill her destiny only if she finds in a kiss
her love
closed
like a sweet kernel in a hard shell
such a hidden love
triggered the overlap of times
for the perfect date
a love so mysterious that
nnot even genetics couldn't guess
the present was frozen in a parenthesis
like a reckless leap of space in another time
so you wonder how nature works
when it provides someone with such special traits
that they cannot be compatible with anyone
in terrestrial life
when you read how sleeping beauty
and all who lived in the palace
preserved their right to life
a hundred years
so that a certain man can be born
you realize with sadness how rare love is
how far we are from the chance to be happy
you meet thousands of people but they see half of you
sometimes only a quarter
to them she was just the princess
a man from the future made the journey back
a man knew very well what it meant to be unloved
a man wanted to set things right
a man played imagining what if…
maybe we are just virtual images
in a game yet unknown
or maybe
a sad man wanted a kiss so badly
that he moved time and jumped wildly
through parallel dimensions
was it you? you? you?
or it was I dreaming one night
a ghost I couldn't get my hands on
rolling myself from universe to universe
until I slipped into the hiden princess quarters
