FORGOTTEN STORY

by Synergy   May 9, 2008


Without a trace... it completely
disappeared from the memory
As if nothing has ever happened,
the long forgotten story.

A whole world
has been entirely erased
How much tumult, strange
and ever-new surprise has raised.

The thought that choice belongs to us
An attempt to decipher the truths
hidden in living
Then nothing.

She does not remember absolutely...
Nothingness invades, so
Different from what was yesterday
Her wisdom, her hope, her fate...

The sea brings her back to her childhood
In old times when everything was building up
Virgin, statute, full of pride!
But the tumult was already there.

Eternal unwritten page, not
A word, not an ink spot
Total freedom, to dive, to fly
To foresee, to patiently wait for the sea.

Completely her own, she changes herself
A mermaid, a sea-shell, a wondering dauphin
The sand is laid, tossed, thrown away
Then deserted, left on its own.

And then him - tall, handsome with dark eyes
She waited for him, she knew him from the first day
Still she forcefully began to fight
Nobody conquers her only in one day, one year...

He's completely hers and she is his,
Desperate attempts to break the chains
The bird flies like an arrow into the sky
And they are one, changing to the eye.

"You being inside me, me being inside you,
nothing ever can break us apart, even
a bad spell will fail, as you'll be in me
for as long as I will continue to be!"

No day, no night, only mornings laid out
Round, lined bulbs are lighted in the dark
And Danube rounds up towards old time
Castles and forts and knights and all the cold

waiting. Only days, months will pass...
When she was small, she dreamed of kings and castles and
blue skies and all, but now she's grown and how much
he means for her and he was smiling.. long ago.

Forgotten, the strange story is over
The game has ended fair: winners and
Losers are equally at loss to know
If this was true, why did it go so low?

It's hugely empty... was he there? and her,
do you remember what she was looking for?
Do you remember the fire, do you know if she -
Blown away salt over snow - is still a creature of the sea?

The sea is there - you jump, you float, you boast
You dive. Please, look, do you remember her?
What is gained and who was lost
Poetry remains... and he still lives in her!
