    In Essence My Life

    In Essence my Life

     

    The sun is up, but it is

    darkness shadowed by eclipse.

    The air is calm, but the wind blows.

    I stand alone at the edge of my dream,

    lost in the labyrinth of my mind;

    while my lips touch gently

    the lips of a rose

    and my eyes see the blood

    drip from its silver

    thorns.

    very beautiful, I got lost in the words. It seems very symbolic and loses one in its melancholy tone.
