The shadow

Lorenz

Prisoner of this other self 

avatar of an obscure story 

villein  or  condottiere 

magnificent lorenz ,brigand ,

Leonardo and Mozart ,all at once ...

Bowing to the dazzling glow of the east

the angel  of god, murmuring ...

A monk on the summit of unapprochable peaks,

but always  woman of premonition ,

breastfeeding  the child soldier with brutal alcohols .

I am the crystal night  exorcist  , insane  arsonist ,

rag conqueror, exhausted  rage ,

my remains frozen  two steps from the top ,

poor mineral who aspired  to glory ! 

 scribler lost in the mists of time and grave...

Am I nothing more than a passing shadow 

in the short summer of multiple existences ?

    Life does seem surreal, and we but shadows. You capture the tortured existence that we constantly question, yet find no answers to. A compelling and yet chilling read my friend. Who are we, really?

    • Lorenz

      Me and my shadows ...

      That first line!

      • Lorenz

        Lethal line ...
