The sun rays of another pale afternoon gently caress my hatless head,
sparkling an imperceptible combustion of illusory comfort.
Your luminescent mantle allures; my reasons are first redeployed, then
disappear completely while the glowing oranges of your scales are
convincing me to quicken my decision.
Cars keep passing by; I feel like rebelling to my immobile legs. I always
dreamed of translating a tangible apprehensiveness into the negation of
the present. Suddenly, everything seems futile, except our intense look
to each other.
To me, it's just an oddness, for I listen through fingers and heart. Even if
I can't hold you in my hands, I'd surely wish you had it instead of me.
Do you see me now? What form do I have? What colour, then?
My backward voyage to the spring: memories are smashed to
smithereens. I never thought much about my schoolmates, always had to
enter that door much earlier than the others. Little did I know I would
have met you there.
Can you elevate yourself when surrounded by dark waters? I wish I
knew - I couldn't find the courage to jump, that november evening.
I'm paddling to no avail, trying to find you. Your new condition put a
distance that we need to shorten.
Fuscous presages don't help remaining cool. Numberless reproaches
have blocked my escapes and no one ever will give me a ride to your
place. No one will miss my silences, too.
It's not really inestimable - still it has a value to me. You just seem not to
care; an eternity awaits for you to understand.
Knelt over the water, my whole being is a perfect zero if looked from
above. My devoutness to intuition will deliver me from sorrow.
Tomorrow I'll become adult: still I don't know why should I. Levigating
new angles of harsh realities is not what I am supposed to learn.
You left me behind - but I can swim.
