Red of tears

In my heart the red flowers on time’s page

Are slowly blooming: a scarlet cage

Grey swallows, take away my rage!

Open up my breath, open up my existence


I have been walking on a diamond-field

Not knowing the smiling fears of the mine-field

I am not an oak, just a reed forced to yield

Wind from the north; bring me back the light of peace.


There is winter inside; there is no star on the sky

I have no light-feathered, angel-perfumed wings to fly

I have no more music box dreams to sing the melodies of a lie.

Why did you make me dream, if dreams were meant to seize?


My scream is blindly scratching the walls of my mind

As I desperately try to resurrect our miracle for you to find

Me: the light that we used to see; instead of the tears I hide.

But I know, I am paying the price of my selfish imprudence.
