| Picture from the internet |
An envelope reaches
unannounced from abroad
My eyes glitter to kiss the
very edges
Having the fragrance of your
touch
I hold it with a blush,
opening it lovingly
I yearn to ornate my heart
With the gems of some letters
pregnant with your love
Alas! My eyes dazzle to see
the letters
As black and bleak as the
night
I shiver embracing the dusk
of our loving life
The letters bear not love
But numerous fragments of my
trust
I write a letter for you on a
kite
With the ink of my tears
And fly it high in the sky
The kite is soon detached
And lost into oblivion
I cherish the broken string
And an empty envelope with a
hope
That you find the kite
somewhere
And know that my love was
like a string
For the kite of your life
Without me you're just a
piece of paper
That cannot reach great
heights
Ever again...
