My solitude

Beauty, you, I  betrayed  for a lunar creature ,

my solitude that keeps watch ,

sentinel over my  still waters...

 In the autumn of age ,

amber dusk of years ,

the flickering lamp ,lighting the way 

for the ultimate  journey,

 just a star throw from the tomb ...

Once the procession of my  spicy loves,

 drifted past, the hours of night grew shorter ,

beside me ,absence as drowsy as a old habit ...

Inspired fulfillement where among 

manuscript\'s pages I was in quest of a dement syllable

dissolves in the ink\'s dreaming tide ...

Beauty,that  I abandoned so as not to share 

a secret garden where I go and meet 

my dissimilar avatar ...

You were nothing more 

than that  slightly rebellious illusion 

I used to dream about ,

born from a desire  for papyrus 

that took pleasure of tormenting me...

Beneath the gray sky ,

no rain remember your name .

A poetic relic chanting the day you vanished .

wavering,drunk, in the kiss of a solitary  wave 

toward the delirium of silly stanzas 

swept away by the tempest of feral reveries...

Upon the final breeze of summer slumber ,

I dedicate this farewell regret  to you 

on a formalin mapple leaf that I  stipped 

into the memory of the manuscript...

  I drink the nectar  of your presence ,

 vintage flavor of my solitude ...
