SAILING SEPARATE SEAS

 

 

For Lisa

 

Today I felt in my nostrils
the powerful smell of the sea,
but, sweetheart, it wasn’t that sea
where we both strolled together,
along dimly-lit beaches of hope,
where for instants I dreamed that
you could be the whole universe –
and nothing more beautiful, ever!

Today that same sea takes me far,
oh! so very distantly far from you,
like a new mermaid that lures me
towards unknown, remote, dangerous
waters, or uncharted dunes in the desert,
where a final destiny – an end-of-the-line –
impatiently ambushes impossible dreams…
