Grave is empty...
Loneliness lain till yesterday there...
... There were guards of the grave:
Naive Hope,
Absent-minded Friendship,
and Elusive Love...
They were there to prevent the Ghost of Loneliness
to escape from the grave... during any midnight in black...
...under the silver slight melting lights of the stars...
...and the moonlight behind the gray clouds with beaming halos...
Vain guards....- the grave is empty now... vacant...in lack...
...But Loneliness hadn't been dead, Loneliness had just slept...
... ... ...
...Naive Hope was evaporated with the afternoon mist,
Absent-minded Friendship - wandered somewhere with the evening breeze...
Where was Elusive Love?
She was dead yesterday night...
...Love had died quietly, out of light...
Loneliness resurrected then brave from the shallow grave.
... ... ...
Someone promised once to the Little Girl -
"Your loneliness is buried...take my hand
and come with me....You will enter in all my places..."
He told her name...He knew her name...
Her belief was the grave for her loneliness,
Her imagination built the alien world...
Her mind made someone to be close to her more then whosoever...
Her hand felt the other's warmth... Her hopes buried the loneliness then....
... ... ...
The Loneliness is staying on the right of the girl,
on her left - here is the Friendship,
the girl is between them now, at the mortuary ceremony,
today she is burying the Love ...
... ... ...
The castle is nearby...The grave - covered up again, it is in the garden...
Friendship took his way, the ceremony is finished...
"Don't cry, Little Girl, don't cry for the dead Elusive Love...
I will be with you forever
- come with me in the Castle - your home..."- Loneliness says...
...Little Girl is embraced, sunk into the cold hands...
This hag is strong,
as the hug of the Death...
"Come with me, in your home - "The Castle of Melancholy" ,
I will be your friend, I will be with you forever...
Come in here, close the doors,
I will be with you forever...
I resurrected just for you, you - my only aim, my dear...
Let's go in the Castle for tonight,
we will have coffee with Friendship in the morning tomorrow,
or some wine - in tomorrow night...
Come with me within the castle's doors.
In the morning you will put the stupid smile
for tomorrow, for the other world, for the days...
We will be together, within the castle's doors - forever...
...Don't seek for the Illusive Dream about Happiness...
Come with me, I will show you the Beauty of Sadness,
I will show you the Purity of Beauty...
Don't cry my dear, come in, close the doors..."
"I am not a girl, I grew up by the grave...I am aged woman now...
I missed the Youth, passing by the Life, I have spent my time
by many graves...I am not a girl now...But we will be together forever..."
- some whispering voice replies...-
"I am not a girl, I am not crying...
...I was thinking about my sixteen, when you were beside me then again...
I was thinking about the Desert - my Life,
where only one inhabitant except me - you only one there were ..."
... ... ...
He has told her - "You can enter in all my places,
except there, behind the locked door...
This place is not for you, I keep it for some Other..."
"But without this place the Love is dead...?!" - the girl had stood
many months barefoot beside the locked door,
till the moment that the Other entered there...
"Don't stay here, go home,...be happy...
...This place was occupied just now ..."
"I am homeless, a roamer...I left my Home, "The Castle of Melancholy",
but I am returning there now...I am so cold...
There isn't any Fire there
but the Coldness is everywhere..."
...
"Come in, dear,"- the Loneliness says,- "close the doors for tonight...
I will be with you forever..."
"Yes, we will be together ... tonight
and for ever - till the inalterable coldest Death..."
