The house of lost souls

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 ...
