Invisible War
I am haunted
of memories suspended in air
My object of nostalgia
blurred images of you
in an absolute place in my head
Unforgotten
peripheral visions of genuine laughs and secret glances
fragile spider webs of tragic love
remnants of betrayed emotions
ghosts of waylaid dreams and unkept promises
Painfully true
Ignorant of our destiny,
immobilized by our fate
divided by windmills of life’s miseries
Deep in the stillness
I’m missing you secretly
Once my beloved
shared my nights of insomnia
In a life no longer compatible with mine
you have joined a war less terrible than ours;
in the course of another life less complicated
Desire not a fraction of your love
share not a blanket of your clouds
dare not unearth our old flame
just an ounce of forgiveness
an inevitable fascination to close the gap between us
Rescue me from this howling misery
of grinding incurable loneliness
