…………………… 

My nights smell

of your touch of rosemary,

crushed upon my pillow.

You are my universe

in the wilderness of my ego.

You know how to keep me

longer than the others,

perhaps for a lifetime.

I look at you indifferently,

while inside me screams

a wild love,

forgotten long ago.

I will cover my face

with the golden veil of the sun

so you will not see

the sadness of departure.

I succeeded,

as expected,

in playing yet another role.

And when I am driving

along the road to nowhere,

I will ask myself why

I always touch the edges

and run away,

while love, all my life,

has been around me

and within me

in a million ways.

I would like to bind myself to you

with chains of love,

forever.

To stay,

not to leave,

not to forget.

And I don't know why,

I will gamble with love,

with life,

with you.

And once again I will leave,

as I have a million times before,

and you will remain,

wondering who I am.

Don't ask me.

You will never

find the answer.

I am the wind,

a tidal wave,

and a tornado

that lays waste to everything

in its path.

Run from me.

I will destroy your joy,

I will steal your peaceful sleep.

Let me walk

to the edges

of my dream.
