…can I follow you

On this road where nobody else travels
nameless, I walk in dreams
my words senseless
my turbulent mind, longing for this night to pass
low but constant, burns the flame of love
lying between flesh and bone
magnificent days magnify my pain
love is a blind path turning into a labyrinth
a lovely blossom trail where my dreams lead me forward
my eyes open to the light
I am naked in the rain
and my soul bathes in the blue mirrorof your eyes
oh, how I fell and oh, how far it seems
for the earth to reach to the sky
this floating world
these shores where dark waves beat
only the wind is sighing by
I can hear a leaf falling on the ground
one fatal footstep, one small candle, one tragic minute
then only ashes, scattering in the winds
only heartbeats short of eternity
only in my dreams can I follow you
and only my love remains
