You are fading away slowly

was your
caressing hand
a forbidden sign of affection?
instantly unleashing castigation?

the moment when our circles linked
you undeniably turned transparent
changing into vapour
and hopelessly beyond my reach

now all I am
is a widow
mourning over a song
I'm sanctioned not to sing


..

Bare essence

let us move the house
from its invasion
I'll take the bricks
you have the brass
and let us rebuild it
somewhere
anywhere
and promise we can stay
away from this house of glass

let us start in the attic
where memories lie
'cause we're no longer careful
nor afraid
so let us start up the attic
and take it down
until there's nothing left
but the bare essence
of you and I

let us bury the furniture
and mourn an appropriate time
let us get it over with
and handle
what we can
and all the rest
let's leave it for a while

let us break down the house
brick by brick
I'll take yours
you take mine
and let that be the foundation
for somewhere
anywhere
we will refurnish
a renovated memory line
