Postcard

Its a black  and gray postcard 

of a european city at the end of an era,

a few melancholy piano notes 

cradle the melody of the rain ...

Lives turned into shadows 

march toward a destination 

that even time  has forgotten .

Frozen life weeps beneath still skies,

softly the neons lights and the nothingness

of an evening fall on the black and gray

of a post card yellowed by the years...

Dark nostalgia of a past that writes to me .

Paris, London and Berlin  merging 

 and Vienna  walzing ...

It is so sad the motionless smile 

of faceless souls in a postcard setting ,

serving as a stage for black-and-gray romance...

So long ago...Maybe  yesterday  when the beatles

had not yet boarded the steel ship of destiny...

Just a moment on a postcard before the next war.
