LAST CYCLE © 2008
Distressed is the moment, in the icy indifference,
Of the beloved who walks, without a glance aside.
At the window, hidden behind the curtain,
A treasure pulses, in a maiden's yearning.
The racing heart, fervent illusion,
Ignores the future, with no imminent rush.
Dreams of being a woman, worthy of love,
Wife, lover, as time turns over.
But fate has faces, dual and cruel,
A daytime fugitive, among veils and rings.
Perhaps one day, without example or glory,
It will betray vows, getting lost in history.
Or who knows, devoted to a sacred temple,
In lost reveries, in a tangled dream.
Thus, the treasure at the window, silently sighs,
While life, indifferent, spins by.
