i accompany you to a wall <br />i know this wall fully well <br />it walled me since i was small, <br /> <br />and then i fall in love with you <br />and you feel the same wall despite the openness of the port of <br />the city where our love boat is docked <br />despite the songs of seagulls <br />despite the softness of my hands cupping your breasts <br /> <br />you ask me to explain about this wall <br />and so i am taking you there <br />for you to see <br /> <br />the wall has become thicker and higher <br />walling me since ages then <br />and it stares at me <br /> <br />asking, if i have learned about love at all? <br />if i have really love you? if i really love myself <br />despite the blindness that the wall is giving me <br />all my life <br /> <br /> <br />the wall is teasing me in front of you <br />i am ashamed <br /> <br />but i do not give up and hand all my life <br />without a fight to this wall <br /> <br />and i look at you <br />and i tell the wall your name <br /> <br />'here is my savior <br />have pity, she does not know a wall <br />she has not lived there once <br />she does not know your name <br />she cannot feel your <br />loneliness <br />she will die <br />she does not know a fight <br />against the wall' <br /> <br />and then there is silence <br />like an ocean's trench <br /> <br />the wall opens a door <br />some tears are left on the stairs <br /> <br />'it is love still, there is no other' the wind <br />sings to the highest cliff <br />on that mountain of <br />death.<br /><br />RIC S.
