Nothing but words

Lorenz

What will I  leave after my last journey but words ?

Little apple ,you who were so plump ,

have I left on your pulp ,only a bitter juicy bite ?

 I caught the next cloud,  leaving you 

this wet parting  world ...

And you serious Sybil ,that I have worshipped

and honored like a vestal  ?

I also left some alphabets  on the melancholy

that your fingers let run on the piano of our lives...

What will I leave behind, after this long voyage

of such  a short  passage ?

The memory of my poems will  fade ,

and the voice of a young  soul 

just hatched from a spring morning ...

I don't believe in these  oaths 

that are confused with eternity...

Elisa,you who  prefered Gershwin to Mozart,

I was sending you letters from an american to Paris,

glinding over the orchestra of a lost transatlantic...

I desired you all in the form of declinsions

dancing in my hands ...

All those words were just poisonous flowers 

dipped in a feather of arsenic ...

 But they've made you  so happy...

        You capture the beauty and majesty of words in this amazing poem, as they dance through our heads, touching each sense that we possess. Brilliant!!
