I’ll never be the same old person,
In far-off countries I will settle.
My gift’s an unintended lesson,
My friend is passionate and gentle.
I will sing songs with earthbound lyrics
And dream unearthly visions madly;
At times when you are also dreaming
Of your Magnificent Milady.
At nightfall I will sneak unnoticed,
Forgetting your reproachful gestures;
And once again a pirate's poniard
Will slash across the wound that festers.
Blood flooded every vein and vessel
Just like a bitter mugwork potion.
The strangers’ bridges burn and tremble;
But we just stroll the wild-grass ocean.
There’s nothing left to be discovered,
The days of yore are long forgotten…
And two great birds take wing and hover
Above the shady midnight garden.
