“Land of Wonder”
I watched you in silence, longing for your voice,
But the moment passed without a sign.
Like fog, you disappeared—you couldn’t really be—
I found myself alone, with sorrow, song, and wine.
Together we walked beneath a neon sky,
Your face offered a smile; I felt my hopes rise.
But the old train departed, leaving us behind,
In a jungle of mirage, in a desert of whys…
You carry me with you, sea of fear and remorse,
My freedom never called, my bells never tolled.
But you’ll never forget me—the mornings and the clock—
And from your land of wonder, you will never return.
I wrote you ten letters that I never sent,
As dawn cried for your light, like a crystal of dew.
Perhaps one day our paths will cross again,
But your love left my spring, to never bloom anew.
I carry you with me—tender breeze and storm—
When your freedom’s bells tolled, I had to let you fly.
But I’ll never forget you, lotus blanc de mon cœur—
And from my land of somber, I’ll never say goodbye…
You carry me with you, sea of fear and remorse,
My freedom never called, my bells never tolled.
But you’ll never forget me—the mornings and the clock—
And from your land of wonder, you will never return.
I loved you from afar—you barely dropped your mask—
Your gaze of emerald, sunshine killing the night.
We never said two words, yet truth remained in sight,
Like a beacon of riddle… I loved you from afar.
