The choice of iris: persephone

I sighed for a passion...  

It was a dream that betrayed me.  

Of that flower torn away,  

remains a pain never cried.  

In silence,  

I burned away all my whys.  

I hid my sorrow from the world...  

A choice! A sentence!  

The final beating of my heart  

carries a light that confuses me...  

A hope...  

mask of regret.  

I reached the stars,  

and there I found you...  

seated and curled,  

you watched and manipulated.  

I CONFRONTED YOU!  

YOU ARE INHUMAN!  

YOU PLAYED!  

You never cared!  

I was light, I was love,  

I was not alone in my sorrow.  

Someone else searched for me,  

and you subdued them.  

Your body full of wounds,  

in this game you are the victim.  

Only one way to heal...  

I touch each of your scars...  

I entered inside of you.  

I answered all your whys.  

But your mind rejects it,  

and we explode without measure.  

I fall back to earth like drops of dew,  

washing away every sin.  

It is a new hope.  

I see a world full of colors,  

a reflection of smiles.  

I now live within your hearts.  

I am proud and free.

The choice of iris: Isis

I leave a void upon the earth,  

like a flower withered,  

I was asking for water in the desert.  

From every petal I stripped away,  

so naked you found me.  

It was brief, but it was enough,  

I heard your calling.  

It was late, and I knew...  

that it would never last.  

Among the stars I now wander,  

your face I am still seeking.  

But behind Orion I discovered  

a figure that has ruled.  

You were naked and trembling,  

like a wounded dog.  

You were writing notes in your notebook.  

Of every fact you took account,  

but of feeling you hold no proof.  

It was brief, but it was enough,  

from your notes I understood,  

that of my sorrow you were the author,  

and you would never last.  

Among the stars you watched us,  

another life you consumed,  

its dreams and its hopes.  

By your mission you are ruled.  

You trembled at my gaze,  

at last you felt the fear.  

You searched for feelings,  

and they are what found you.  

With your eyes you ask for help,  

you did not deprive me of pity.  

And with my touch you were healed.  

Into a light I transformed you,  

with my love you are infected.  

You fall to earth like dew.  

You cleanse the world of all violence,  

you have a new purpose, no more delay.  

Among the stars I now watch you,  

I will bring you happiness.  

Of my thought you keep a memory,  

your heart will be my pride.
