A Harmony
...While smoke enshrouded us one crowded night,
Obscured by grey and ashy sea-breeze air,

The creaking and the straining as the old bridge wants me rid
Shall not give me cause ...

The waning moon transforms to blazing sun,

...Lost in the leaves of a dying season, I turned my eyes from your shadow.
I balanced precariously on the tightrope, I heard her voice and I saw my tears.
Concrete below me, emptiness above, with fea...

...Under the mystical veil of night, where stars whisper ancient secrets,
I feel my failure intensely, as if it were a vital organ,
Birthed by merciless gods, growing from the side of my head.

Scanning a distant horizon where dreams and reality intertwine,
Seeing patches of ethereal clouds,
Drifting across the vast expanse of the blue sky.

Ah, Poet, Poet, if only I could become
...Ah, Poet, Poet, if only I could become
A magical fly, to delve into your mind and soul,
To bring light to the chaos of your thoughts and feelings
