We dance on the glass prisms Below us burns the fire The flick of a romance or love on the edge A half open door...death or life? I never understand the world The reality where we live It's like a crooked satire or a hallucination of walking bodies Before they have erased all memories Of their own faces. But those who deny forgetting their own faces And look at the mirror every day, See age crawling through the naked bodies A man and a woman in bed..then their warm skin at midnight on the brink of extinguished immortality. Poetry comes to me in those moments Of laughter, of a feeling after love making An emptiness, a desolation yet hunger for everything That is when beyond our dreams our shadow comes and dance On the prisms. Like Pygmalion, I create my own woman of beauty in silence.

Pygmalion (Courtsey : Bernard Shaw)
We dance on the glass prisms Below us burns the fire The flick of a romance or love on the edge A half open door...death or life? I never understand the world The reality where we live It's like a crooked satire or a hallucination of walking bodies Before they have erased all memories Of their own faces. But those who deny forgetting their own faces And look at the mirror every day, See age crawling through the naked bodies A man and a woman in bed..then their warm skin at midnight on the brink of extinguished immortality. Poetry comes to me in those moments Of laughter, of a feeling after love making An emptiness, a desolation yet hunger for everything That is when beyond our dreams our shadow comes and dance On the prisms. Like Pygmalion, I create my own woman of beauty in silence.
