CATHERINE AND HENRY

The lake was a sprawling uneven mass Like a slithering serpent of uncertainty Underneath our boat We counted the moments to the future The yards from the past were still very few We feared of getting lost in the quest To relinquish our past And to marry a sweet future Our destinies intertwined On the road to blood and war The war was unending The blood was raining Then we found ourselves In the embrace of each other We fell in love We fell from grace The ugly war The incredible noise The unimaginable distances We had to escape The boat was just a metaphor Of the times we only knew How important love could be In saving our souls from drowning In the coldness of life.
