The Point Of Not Return

Camilo Sesto


Past the point 
of no return - 
no backward glances: 
the games we've played 
till now are at 
an end ... 
Past all thought 
of "if" or "when" - 
no use resisting: 
abandon thought, 
and let the dream 
descend ... 

What raging fire 
shall flood the soul? 
What rich desire 
unlocks its door? 
What sweet seduction 
lies before 
us ...? 

Past the point 
of no return, 
the final threshold - 
what warm, 
unspoken secrets 
will we learn? 
Beyond the point 
of no return ... 

Past the point 
of no return - 
no going back now: 
our passion-play 
has now, at last, 
begun ... 
Past all thought 
of right or wrong - 
one final question: 
how long should we 
two wait, before 
we're one ...? 

When will the blood 
begin to race 
the sleeping bud 
burst into bloom? 
When will the flames, 
at last, consume 
us ...? 

Past the point 
of no return 
the final threshold - 
the bridge 
is crossed, so stand 
and watch it burn ... 
We've passed the point 
of no return ...
