The Marathon of Venice

This was an intense dream I had about my former love

Twilight sets in

The city streets filled with new faces

Running on this cobblestone

I run to my finish line

 

60 years worth of work will not stop me

The thunder in the sky can keep getting louder

In this part of the world, lights guide my direction

To see, to look, to search, to claim

 

Your drunken phone calls to me are heavy

Not worth my attention, not who you are

To settle it's not so bad, until you realize

You were the brightest star in my universe

 

Running with pains on the ankles

Pains that have numbed my heart

Pains that tell me to quit

Pains that I will endure to get even tougher with it

 

I arrive after a frantic search, your fort is not easy access

You're wearing the leopard dress I bought you

A lamp light over your desk with all your papers

Just scattered, showing a big mess in your mind

 

The flood gates open in your eyes,

And your breath of aged wine

I didn't know who was more confused

My stubborn arrival? or your readiness of my presence?

 

We embrace tightly like eyes shut

And you start to explore my neck with your lips

A road you know you can't go back on

A road you never worried to look back on

This was also about my former love, she was an inspiration to say the least. Good and Bad.
