Forget the harm, forget the negligence of years
Then why it floating again before the somber eyes
And tears unwelcome performance asking for applause
Undone , unfastened the breaks of self control

The need to obliterate the few pages in my book
Pretend it never happened to me , maybe to someone else
I was just witness, passerby on road, where accident occurred
So here it goes, what's done is done, the writing should commence anew

I 'll lay the feather, ink and hand made paper
With dried flowers imprisoned inside the veins
And start to pour the mellifluent inclinations
Like nothing ever distressed me at all
