Chapter 13 - I saw you through the window

I saw you through the window

- an uncontrollable smile

Drawing on my lips

As I recalled our whimsical acrobatics.

Why don't we loose ourselves

In a lovers embrace afresh?

Was I too lost between our kisses

That you thought me to be a mere

Vision of your mind's deepest desire?

Was I too majestic, hidden under your hair,

Til dawn torned us apart, our skins marked

By an igneous fire?

You did smile back

- a shy, forced smile,

Your dark eyes yelling

What lips were not telling.

It wasn't enough to end

The endless pain on my chest,

The dreams rushing on my mind,

The plain game of chess,

The dying love now blind.

I saw you through the window,

Walking by, carrying a box

Not yours. You should be

Carrying me across that frozen

Road, gravel sticking on shoe soles,

Red dots on alb snow from our

Long lived affairs. Bonding souls

On that memory-lost night

In that most religious place

- our acts so profane nor God,

Nor the Angels dared standing

Between our restless breaths.

I saw you through the window,

You did smile back. I said goodbye

To you that moment, you left

Thinking me a nymphomaniac.
