Nymphaea

Delight


Confiding thoughts 
My skin is too loose 
It covers winged arms 
Dancing beneath closed eyelids 

Dancing beneath closed eyelids... 

The sleeping ancient goddess 
Chasing her dreams 
With the open trembling arms 
Dance beneath eyelids 
With a delicate smile 
On her mild face 
With the wind flowing down 
With the drops of silky rain 

Flying over the ocean... 

I've been afraid of the night 
Solitude at the end of nightmare 
Faces which brisk up 
On the dark paintings 
Over empty bed... 

The sleeping ancient goddess 
Chasing her dreams 
With the open trembling arms 
Dance beneath eyelids 
With a delicate smile 
On her mild face 
With the wind flowing down 
With the drops of silky rain
