Former Darkness

Today came the search for dreams.
Only sorrow went missing.
I've pressed my ear to whispers of dust in the wind.
I've painted my eyes with the color of love.

Such fierce outpouring of light.
Old quarrels in the darkness.
I've fallen into the wheel of shadow and gleam.
So I wrote this story of love.

This is a familiar sky.
That is wind in exile.
I've received some unsigned letters.
She is untouchable, this I've come to know.

Watercolor painted on canvas.
Secret words of the brush.
I've drawn fragments of hurt pride.
Even as a claim, I have remained.

Kohl around the eyes.
Former darkness.
I've brought some faded happiness.
I've heard destiny's forest exile.
