THE BROKEN PROMISE



you did not come, the time stayed,
everything was numb, hazy
moonlight, dimmed
stars,
you did not come night has gone,
as a bird in the cage, hides
the beak in own
feathers,
you did not come, lost one by one 
all bunch of night jasmine .....
the emotional
fragrance
gradually became fade, poor
persona, wandered like
a shadow;
you did not come, resonance, to
be returned so far, some
void, some wet 
leaves, 
a pricks, hawthorn flowers and 
broken dreams, again
there was 
nothing 
around me; you did not come, life 
went back last night; empty-
handed slowly, walking 
along the railroad
tracks,
crossing the dried stream, in search of
dawn, toward an unknown 
remote island - - -
