“Five“
©leo.banares

i can’t sleep,
nocturnal paradigm of endless dreams.
i stay awake.

thinking of your fragile face,
such calmness in your eyes.
i hear your soft voice,
whispering, calling to my emotions.
i feel your light touch,
running through my face, my hair, my heart.

your silhouette creeps through my mind,
as the night devours my only day,
i see you, your smile.
it lingers on my crippled mind as i wait for you,
to come, and set me free.

i can’t seem to reach out to you.
i can’t seem to let all things pass me by.
i watch you singing a soft lullaby,
luring me to sleep.

i can’t help but close my eyes,
as i imagine you…

and me, dancing through the night.

you take my hand, as i held you close to me.
we sing, we danced, we let everything pass us by,
but i woke up. and realized everything was only a dream.

you stood there, in line, waiting for your turn.
as i hold my breath, you disappeared.
and i took a glance on the wall clock,
and it was five.
