Burned Fingers

------------

Escape from hope to a steel embrace

that encircles the soul with tar.

Discloses meaning without meaning

what kills the wildness in the heart.

*

In time drops, falling down despair

while nothingness drinks eyes sheen

There is a parallel world of cold caressing

where love is not love.

*

Loneliness flows down the walls.

Awareness of the end as the beginning.

Bound hands by the suffering yarn

soaked in the oblivion petals.

*

Burnt fingers silent pain

because of the soul hole they close.

Riding on the waterless sea waves

reveals a forgotten light at the bottom.

*

From a distance, a starfish of the deep

as an illusion from the sea currents.

The bitter water's intoxicating taste.

I'm invoking joy

with an awakened heart.
