Do you know the house of lost souls ?
That's where all hearts that have traveled
far in the melancholy of illusory
death in Venice ...
When you arrive,you'll have a cup of coffee
on the serenissima square while reading
the latest news of the night to come...
A grimacing jester playing on a coffin...
and then you'll have to walk a little...
at the end of the path,there's the palace
emerging from an old childhood memory...
The old rusty gate no longer has a voice
and doesn't recognize you ...
It has seen so many craddles in mourning clothes !
The faithful guard no longer greets visitors
with a joyful bark ...
So overwhelmed by so much loneliness ,
maybe it came back to life ?
Did you know that dogs deprived of love
take on human form ?
Why did they kill the queen's little poodle ?
The door has long since lost its trebble key,
giving up all its secrets .
Confession engraved in the marble
of a musical score ...
Once you cross the threshold ,
lay down your heavy burden .
In the house of lost souls ,
hours of the clock in royal grace
Coldly welcoming the ambassador
delegated by the angels ...
On the table lies a gaze .
Not at all pleading
in the mournful beauty of renouncement !
Perhaps the eyes of the fallen princess ?
a few words of farewell
like love announcement...
Don't disturb her Milord
sh'es praying up there .
Tomorrow she will ascend the scaffold.
Will you have any regrets ?
In the house of lost souls ,
we are merely passing by ,
abandoning our burden of futility ...
And our hearts so weary
from not knowing how to love ...
writing a few lines
full of secret remorses
thrown into the rain ,
that no one will read ...
