Desolation in the midst of the night awakens me
Leaving in a gorge of anguish and decadence
Melancholy and sadness are my favourite cronies
Guiding me through the labyrinth of foolishness
Dreams and delusions entwine under the dim light of the night sky
Where the stars hide behind a forest the clouds
Waiting for a storm to arrive
While I keep disguising myself in a garden of glowing flowers
The freezing wild wind shakes me
Until I lose control of my heart flying away from me
Getting exhausted from my endless wandering
I stop searching for a direction and I fall into an eternal slumber
The realm of dreams and impossibilities is my kingdom
Where I can be myself without explanations
Where I can fly from one flower to another one
Unconcerned about time and fleeting realities
Becoming a fairy in a magic garden nothing can touch me
And I sing all the most beautiful melodies together with birds and butterflies
The glowing flowers are my home
Poetry lyrics become my only way to express myself
A sweet decadence and a gothic scent cast a spell over me
And I sing all my secret poems to the stars that watch over me
And the horizon becomes clear with dim lights and glowing colours
Desolation in the midst of the night became my portal to another world
A world of beauty, fantasy and wonders
Where all dreams are a reality and no illusion is possible
Because everything is possible in my dreams even touching the stars
In my cotton candy world, I can fly high until I touch the clouds and let a blizzard carry me far away
While the wind strokes my hair, revealing the secrets of the stars
My castle is in a labyrinth of velvet darkness and silver mist
where fragments of long-forgotten dreams waltz with the midnight muses
In an eternal embrace of night and day.
