Elixir of Life

In the fragility of dreams

With my eyes wide open 

At the onset of daylight

Crawling tint of lilac hues

Sparkle dew drops on lilies

Engulf my soul in blues

To see the world alive

I find myself wondering 

Of the desires buried

Deep inside this fragile heart

The forgotten people,

The abandoned roads,

The lost moments,

The unhealed scars,

The yellowed pages,

All from my journey so far

Make me feeble all day long

With a darkness beneath daylight 

In the fragility of dreams

With my eyes half closed

At the onset of dusk

When lavender sky illuminates 

Exhausted turquoise tides,

Sweat-soaked memories 

Comfort my enervated soul

Provide drowsy solace 

To my played out heart

In the weariness of windows

Too unyielding to be unfastened

Yet willing to let the light inside

The cocoon of my hopes

Breathes half-heartedly 

May be not to fly but to survive 

Wrapped in the panacea of twilight

In the fragility of dreams

With my eyes meant to be closed

I wake up on a glistening blue night

A nostalgic halo opens the windows

Clenched by my wavering anxieties

I find my wings and spread them wide

To fly afar through the elixir of night

It reminds me of everything 

That had once been mine

That could have been mine

And that still is and will always be mine

That all my life is but a circle

Meant to be found around

That nothing is ever lost

If in my heart it will be found

That my fragility heals my scars

Strengthens my spirit

Renews my pages

To explore my roads

Full of errors or glories

That the hope on which I never give up

And the love dripping over my soul

Is my eternal elixir of life

That when the day is over

Night will always revive 

My wearied heart and memories

Courage in my tenderness 

I find a waterfall of love and hope

When my eyes are meant to be closed

At night, in the fragility of dreams.
