The child of the depths

I was that child of the depths.

Afraid of scarlett passions 

and fleeing lies burned 

by the sun\'s gold ...

I wandered across submerged  realms

where beautiful princess 

had turned into  deadly sirens ...

I understood these lunar languages 

and when the haughty tide came,

all the lights went out on the island,

the moon told me endless tales 

under sleepless skies ...

I was a physicist assembling 

cosmic puzzles ,

that I destroyed  

in order to better discern  

 the mystery of desire .

 Also watching serious  cartoons

  and reading Bukowsky .

  I hated those little pigs ...

I was terrorist in useless formulas,

in the messianic music of the spheres ,

sorcerer\'s apprentice ...

 But the good doctor Freud ,told me :

\'\' Don\'t worry buddy ,

  we\'ll teach you how to pretend

  when you\'ll reach the age of reason ! \'\'

   In the family closet 

I had a crystal girl friend 

who drowned in an indigo lake .

I joined her to play in deep waters.

Mother was not privy to the secret 

and father never returned from the war...

Maybe sh\'es alive and married a fish ?

But what\'s the point of walking through life

with shoes that are too tight 

for all the dreams of children from the depths ?
