Skirt With A Flowery Design

I slipped into a long nightmare Of wild, disturbing thoughts And a river of fears. I waited for the only woman Who ever saw me weep, I waited with the same lonely eyes That used to watch her sleep. Hearing the ocean roar of my unhappy soul, I desired to wake but sunk further into restless unconsciousness. In immeasurable darkness, I trailed the voice of a bird Until I casted myself into a moonless ditch. Yesterday, I touched a skirt with a flowery design, A skirt that once swayed with dances But now hangs lifelessly in a closet. I’ve been told Everything can be forgotten, The ability to open your eyes, The fragrant scent of a woman’s hair, How to fall in love or kiss, Oh, my God! I’ve fallen into this abyss!
