TRACE

IN MY MIND I TRAVEL

TO ALL THE PLACES WE SHARED

TO AMSTERDAM: WHICH YOU GAVE TO ME…

A GENIUS MOVE, SO MUCH ART!

I LOOK FOR YOU THERE…

BUT, OF COURSE, YOU ARE NOT THERE.

 

THE BEAUTIFUL PLACES,

THE WATERFALLS, THE HILLS, THE CAVES…

I LOOK FOR YOU EVERYWHERE,

THE SEASCAPES, THE LAKES,

THE GIGS… THE BALLET,

THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE…

BUT YOUR NOT ANYWHERE.

 

THE ONLY PLACE YOU EXIST

IS IN THE PAST AND, HERE IS THE RUB,

THE ONLY PLACE I CAN CONTINUE

TO EXIST IS : THE FUTURE!

THE FUTURE IS A PLACE BEYOND YOU…

THAT’S THE AWFUL TRUTH!

 

IN MY SELFISH SORROW,

I BEG YOU TO WAIT FOR ME…

FOR THE PROSPECT OF MISSING YOU,

IN THE NEXT INCARNATION,

IS TOO MUCH FOR THIS CARNATION

TO BEAR!

 

WAIT! WAIT, LET US SWIRL IN THE ETHER,

TOGETHER, WITHOUT CORPOREAL IMPEDIMENTS,

WE CAN RE-UNITE…

AND LEAVE WITHOUT

A TRACE.
