My kingdoms of legend

Lorenz

My kingdoms of legend...

Silk road spicy fragrances.

   Sliding  horizon ,

 I touch the inpermanent space...

I am monk in a cloudy monastery.

Palaces sleeping under sand and lava

great pyramid that defies the eternity

Angkor Buddha's smile  watching over

princes and courtesans shadows ...

Do I love this atlantean  beauty ?

Or was I  your majesty's  minion ?

Beautiful  queen of saba 

opening her arms to me ,

a wise ruby-eyed lion 

watching over the forbidden harem...

''0 grand vizir of Stambul 

listen the muezzin's voice ,

this golden horn is but a lure 

on the way to paradise ! ''

My illusions at the stake 

on the river Ganga banks ,

freed from its suffering ...

 soothed ,I contemplate

the unfathomable remnants 

that make my dizzy ...

My kingdoms of legend 

are written in rose thorns ...

 Fish passions ,spinning 

in an ocean jar ...

Non-time traveler 

condemned to the scent of silence...

At the midnight of worlds 

just passing through the  grandeur

of your vanished realms...

 Day light no longer wants you .

Its snowing on the mount Kilimanjaro,

under this white shroud I'm going to sleep 

and join my kingdoms of legend ...
