Don't take me back in time

My pen is an elegy

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Bring me back, O time

To correct all those mistakes

That a violent stormy night caused

O Lord, purify my heart from torment

And keep away from it the demons of misery

And let me fly in space

For I am still alive

So do not write, O my pen, an elegy

And do not accuse me of being a critic of poetry and satire

But be with me so that we may understand matters

For I am no longer good at hiding

The darkness of illusions has returned me to ecstasy

And I am no longer able to desire

My desire for life died

When I was left without friends

So I ended up where the lights abandoned me

To the garbage dumps of history without mercy from my brothers

I do not care if I turn into a mouse

Whose centuries were in the dark nights?

Or to a monster who restores my hopes

that have abandoned the port

And I do not shake hands with those who generously offered their tears

Because I am not mortgaged to hollow flowers

I want the tree of life

To restore purity to my heart

Because I am not here because I intended to stay

So if madness overcomes me for a moment of purity

Know that I called upon God and truly wanted to meet

So when did you do that, my friend

And why did you leave the volcanoes of my heart red?

Oh time, do not take me back

But continue and triumph over a raging wave

For if you reveal the melody of my life

There is a lot of suffering in its depths

And if you leave the artery of my life

My life has become strange.
