I hope

I hope leaves don’t touch your sacred body when they fall
So you can’t make cold ice crystals out of them all
I hope rain stops miraculously kissing your body as it falls
I hope the shy pale Moon dares come out without you
I hope the Earth fails to kiss the steps walked by you
 
I hope you run out of the constant perfect gaze
The precise word to hurt me
The one smile to seduce me
I hope something quite sudden happens to erase you
A blinding lightning bolt
A cannon ball of snow
 
I hope at least death takes me and puts me away
So I don’t see you so much
So I don’t see you always
In each of all my seconds
In each of all my visions
 
I hope I can’t even
Touch you with my music
 
I hope the dawn won’t utter screams that fall on my back
I hope that voice forgets how to whisper your name
I hope the walls don’t keep in your noise of tired and worn footsteps
I hope desire follows you and goes away
To your old tyrant reign of dead men and dead flowers
 
I hope you run out of the constant perfect gaze
The precise word to hurt me
The one smile to seduce me
I hope something quite sudden happens to erase you
A blinding lightning bolt
A cannon ball of snow
 
I hope at least death takes me and puts me away
So I don’t see you so much
So I don’t see you always
In each of all my seconds
In each of all my visions
 
I hope I can’t even
Touch you with my music
 
I hope something quite sudden happens to erase you
A blinding lightning bolt
A cannon ball of snow
 
I hope at least death takes me and puts me away
So I don’t see you so much
So I don’t see you always
In each of all my seconds
In each of all my visions
 
I hope I can’t even
Touch you with my music
