No Escape

You betrayed my dreams,

you abandoned my desires.

You are there to scare the last bird

of my lost love.

You fed me the salt of your tears

this morning.

I delight in the light

that knows no escape.

With the rest of my blood

I am writing this will, this unread book

of the past.

You dance, although God envies

your sense of rhythm,

even though dawn has usurped

the wrong sky.

Midnight has awakened in us,

midnight, which will tear our

common thoughts, our bodies

glued with lust, our rudely awakened souls.

Your blue hand is stealing

the forbidden fruit

from the stone garden again.

It hurts so much to think of the stars

trying to regain their places

in my sky.

"Midnight has awakened in us..."
The dark night if the soul seemingly has no end. But day will always follow night. One day, the right love will find us all.
