the long-awaited evening
arrived with the chime of the church bells
calming and cooling cover of darkness
marching across all over the sky
the breeze arrived as the evening faded
with the smiling candles dancing all around
the eyes ─ facing each other
weakly lighted up by the candles
smiles
fragrances refreshing the surroundings
your gift ─ a rose
beautiful but dead
and red like the blue sky during a sunset
after all a breeze
not supposed to be still
blew away to some distant land with unknown waters
its departure added sense to the real lost world
tears turned blind ─ betrayers
only the candles were still there
battling the darkness
may be only they realized ─
what was felt
what was thought
what was seen
