Seclusion

Frailty in decadence,
songs in the dark,
a sorrowful cadence,
melodic, stark,
a trot in the sunset,
death on silent wings,
a destiny unset,
of peasants and kings,
fields and fences around sirens that sing
… in secluded places,
a thread of yearning
unfolds and traces,
drags your craving
… to secluded places.

Vainly in decadence,
screams in the dark,
a sanguine cadence,
psalmodic, stark,
thirst in the sunset,
birds with stainless wings,
a destiny unset,
of princes and kings,
walls and fences
around birds that sing
… in secluded places,
a memory of yearning
in shards and traces,
underlines your craving
… in secluded places.
