Death of a Shipwrecked Sailor




In those moments of unknown knowings,
I acknowledged YOU with the flicker of that light.

Waiting for lover's Dawn in an impregnated pace,
It told me stories of cholera and a Caribbean face.
Those passing tranquility in me aroused:
Stories of valor, blood and chaos.

Thus began a new chapter of struggle and growth:
That brought glory like sun at Noon:
Of cemented floors and tinned roofs,
Of laced curtains and muddy grooves. 

Outspreading my aura over to the cliff, but,
Saw the Twilight of my life--- and thus:
Reminded me of my days of shredding and mourning,
When left were pieces torn, of dreamt dreams.
The pieces I so carefully gathered:
Cause' then I knew a distant light.

The drama of unknown knowings thus came to a halt. 
I stood to see that light:
Coming from the dock of that ship:
 It reminded me of my Belongings.

As the ship brought the Twilight to Night:
Thus Heavens sank into grief...
Tearing the angry sea, that ship,
It simply came to me. 

I, a shipwrecked sailor
I, who once departed, 
Was meant to return to the ship.
Where I belonged. 
Just like Life Belonging:
To Death.
