Sunset visitors

Lorenz

When Sunset visitors

knock on my door 

I would evoke the fleeting nature 

of this happiness that I drank

   from a cup of bitterness...

Solitude dressed in dawn 

  and saying : 

  '' I'm waiting  for you ! ''

What will be the price 

 of the last hour privacy ?

 Demon ! Breaks the hands 

of this clock of remembrance !

Must I live again ,here and now ,

prisoner of the bars of freedom ?

Or head off into the nameless void ?

I 'll stand upright on the rock ,

purified of all remorse and regret !

I never believed in the table of the law

and that damn' wooden cross ! 

There are no happy loves ,

just antipasti taste in a perfect past 

and absinthe subscribers 

from the who's who of  rendez vous...

   Book's herd ! don't  laugh

 at the poor Quasimodo in chains !

  Sunset visitors will resume 

  their journey  to the realm of shades

with a promise to meet again ...

 I close the child  eyes ,

leaving a tender kiss for my story ...

Should I believe in the eternal return ?

    Once again filled with metaphor and symbolism this poem speaks to me of questions of faith in love and religion, trust in what is said. Innocence is dismissed and a good question would we want to return if we could. A lovely write
