OBSIDIAN (COLLAB CINDA)

One must walk with their eyes open

and see the timeless castles.

While sleep walking

can lead to secret pools so far.

Dare not wake up while asleep,

Dare not stop the sands in the glass.

The shock would be too great

for the magic lasts.

The mirror of illusion

-our floor of dark hopes-

Has cast its shadows

far beyond this universe of solitude.

The silver shine beacons

can’t donate their light anymore.

The moon has become the sun

in a silent whisper

and all that sleeps wakes

as the shadows swallow our souls.

In a dream we live.

In a dream we die.

Movements surreal,

canvas of glass, beloved Maya,

enchanted land of dreamers

where flowers disguise their thorns:

all play a part intertwined

in this game of oblivion.

We cannot leave each other,

We cannot invent another dance.

My eyes are open

and my heart sighs

as I sleep and dream

about metaphors and solutions.

Cast within are images

painted with the tints of despair.

Like a movie never ending

I go nowhere.

Take away the moon

as I sew my fate.

Give me the sun

while the comfort is brute.

Let us sleep in broad daylight

together with the angels

and right side the world once more,

with courage and delicacy.
