Let Us!

"Let us talk what we never talked about

Let us walk through which we never passed by

Let us just sit and watch over what vanished beneath our ignorance

Let us pick and carry moments, words lost amidst our trampling, tragic!

Let us listen to whispers we considered no more than futile noise

Let us look at colors scattered around, appeared no more some faded hues until

Let us tell each other tales we once thought to be real

Let us be unreal for now and care not for stones being thrown upon

Let us carry each other and brave through tides rising high and higher

Let us dive deep down soaring waters determined to drown us, and

Come out with pearls from its chest and decorate scars upon our bodies

Let us hide in its grave as if a volcano, waiting to create an island when awake

Let us hold each other’s hand and walk mile one more

Let us lie down for a while and pretend as if alive, and fear no more

For we must not leave our trails to be followed upon

To the lands of dead, where they celebrate life in their cursed palaces, alas!         

Let us dream one more night and dream one more day

Let us melt ourselves into music and poetry, and

Let our bodies be drenched in tears and pains, but we must not

Succumb to wounds gifted and paint another dream through bloods we lay

Let us look in each other’s eyes and see what is not yet seen

Let us hear heartbeats of one another and narrate stories of passion

Let us kiss each other and taste life out of poison we have transformed into

Let us live for one more time before we die yet another death."
