Rose for the river, river for the rose. 20180416.


I went to the river to take a part of me,

I had left with her in my dreams.

I came back less than what I left with.


You can only add to her,

You can't look at her without losing

A little and you keep looking at her,

Looking for yourself in there

And never find it.


You keep looking at her

All the more for it.


Nevertheless, to be one with the river

Is my temptation.

The river did not ask for it,

Nor did she say no.
