Lorenz

The poet\'s shadow

Surrealist poet bathed in moonlight

at the funeral of love .

Tightrope walker on a stormy road ,

 where are the lyrics to the lost ballad ?

 The time of happiness 

is nothing more  than a digital echo

as a ghostly plucked parrot chirps...

Night owl in search of an inspired star

that will lead me  astray ...

 Fool, playing piano on top of a cloud,

but the tears blurred the sheet music...

  I am just an eccentric contralto .

Sometimes, libertine painter ,

unveiling mystery of the submissive muse .

 Gentle prowler .

Or maybe ,just plain old Pierrot lunaire 

lost on the cusp of rain ,

his tears stained farewell letter in hand .

  Matamor,you charmed the capricious Columbine...

Must I go and gather my words 

from the depths of bitter abysses ,

for fear of being sincere with them ?

  September harbinger heralding the harvest ,

already a few gray strands in my golden crown !

 My lord , the door of times creaks open...

On the threshold ,no one remembers the magic spell

for eternal youth ...

My friend Harlequin, do you have any ink 

I could borrow ,so I can keep my logbook ?

  and the spice of a burning body 

when I could finally drop anchor ? 

  Don\'t mock the poor penpusher in pain !

  Then,I would recognize myself  in that poet 

whose shadow frightens me ...
