Castle of Grey

 

Oh, darkest mind!

Slumbering beneath the dome of dark

Greetings!

In the castle of grey

You live like a lofty slave

Though the kingdom is yours;

“The emperor of mind”.

Oh wisdom! My princess!

In my castle of grey

You have a place too,

Only for you, sometimes…

You dwell above the Garden of Hope

And you are beyond…

I… who let myself beneath Oblivion,

With a philophobic heart.

Your presence is forbidden to me.

Your touch banishes me into the abyss.

O come! Wisdom…

Let your stabbing eyes

kill me softly…

And unite before twilight

Until dawn…
