Farewell to the Unknown

by: Iolanda Scripca

(Terza Rima)

 

 

As I lie still and wait my soul to rest
Unwelcome darkness pulling down my eyelids
In double spaces, horizontal in my chest
A beating heart is melting sorrow's acids
Surrounded by cocoons with handsome faces
As shadows on the walls paint tentacles of squids.

You tear the curtains quietly from spaces
I feel I've lost you when we have never met
The dance, the passion, lips and those caresses -
That Hurricane, that Heat, that Rain I won't forget..
A silent movie and some shutters locked
Unwanted shelter - I'll always regret...

*
As I must die a while and go to unknown places
Farewell Immortal Love, I bow to you with graces...
