Alone
 
Sometimes I stare foolishly
into the deep blue sky,
carrying dead thoughts tenderly,
as if they were still alive.
The night is no longer young,
the stars are diminishing ...
The songs that were sung
are now finishing ...
No life in the surroundings,
as the sun is dying,
leaving me in darkness ...
Fear, confusion, sadness ...
My feelings like a stranded man
floating on the big blue ocean,
being whipped up constantly
by violent sea waves.
As I rode on the comet,
I realised ...
My mind was inert,
hearing only your goodbyes.
Like an innocent child floating
across the infinite universe, across the river Nile,
across the tragic kingdom of dead loners,
across the fires of hell.
I was lost without your guidance,
dead without your love,
weak without your presence,
sad without your mirth ...
And as I look back
through the blazing trail,
I realise, from my closing eyes,
I was alone,
all alone ...

"It feels me with peace, tranquility, freedom and gives me joy. It is called loneliness"
