I was born with setting suns Leaning on my windowsill The perennial, the fleeting ones Catching their fall behind a hill Behind every roof I expect To sight 'em just as bright still And through the night reflect From our tearful eyes I was born a dreamer Beneath closed lids I peered With on trembling lips a prayer Against deep-seated fears When I loosened my grip A void settled to widen here A silence that disturbs our late sleep Wherever one lies I was scarcely born but have known only death Trying to make up the time lost gasping for breath I was born in a hurry Along hospital corridors With a growing worry While flocked more doctors My paternal grandfather passed Behind all half-open doors Where come forth and forever last Ethereal light rays I was born turning around again Indwelt by ominous qualms A friend from afar waved his hand As summer ended shedding its charms I was born and all I needed most Always hid in my mother's arms Outstretched for me with trust I told this evening breeze a word Maybe I should have yelled Countless litanies left unanswered Countless of mine failed Nothing's for certain Grief can't be soothed Behind the curtain Looms a concealed truth Nothing's for certain I was born at the end of highways To the ring tone oh so sudden In two policemen's chilling gaze Upon surroundings dark had fallen My maternal grandfather passed Arises a memory we've forgotten During hard times the glow it casts In our inward stays I was born and the stars died out too Now to my dry eyes no more than few Mere knots in the wooden ceiling I browse dusty photo books of yore Very pale faces regain their colors Many places seeming barely familiar Now the sky's strewn with only lampposts Above a leafy street we walked in coats I walk 'lone to rekindle this stray feeling Beside my lover I was born The heart swelling up 'till it tore So much I could've share One never shares enough I gave the lowest of winds a kiss Let it be carried away to her cheek And if aloft got missed I'll remain deluded another week A further year to reminisce To retain the sole dream I seek But nothing's for certain Not even a promise What adds to my burden Everything's lost in advance
