Once again

I’m at this street

cool winds

shoulders shrink

increasing heartbeat

sensations of loneliness

walking alone

breath like a tone

music in my ears

the greedy lyrics of thy

darkness surrounds as dreams

breath shaking

falling memories

echoing rhythms

running as a clock

around the same place

weak and shiver

but

this is not end

I won’t give up

play the music

till the last breath

with the hope of a dream

it will come true

again — I’ll smile

with you!
