Breath Thief

Poem

That hanging rope ladder

to get into

the glowing cloud

of your treasures

is there to keep the magic carpet of your wish

flying in circles

vanishing behind a total black storm

where silent thunders hunt your music.

Be aware of madness

unknown voices or disgraced places

seamless sequences are not so easy.

You can’t really tell the difference

and mistake the distorted sky in mud puddles

for enlightening visions

of luxury and satiety.

This is me licking the sweat of your shadow

tracking the drops of your soul to crash the mirror

possessing the rhythm

of your breath

making your look dodge the light.

Rain over rain in hollow dreams of forgotten nightmares.

The best of this deal is the chance to become hooked

for ever to

the shapeless reality

to thrive the evolved illusion of flashy gestures.

The field is mined of good intentions

colorful signs enticing your steps to wander

slightly

just to play the game

to get an idea and set you free.

Becoming aware should not cost that much.
