Solitary Man

I watched the solitary man

Sitting on a hill over the city.

Like an angel of darkness,

His frail hands, aimlessly searched

For a truth.

I watched the solitary man

Play the stars like a joker,

Cheating the moonlight.
He hugged the piano keys so tightly,

Suffocating them with his passion.

Barely breathing,

The music choked

The words of his blue heart.

I watched the solitary man

Embrace the pseudo reality of the night.

Cigarette smoke chased the twisted sky.

He didn’t want to surrender to this illusion. 

But, it was too late.

The hurricane had already swallowed the truth…..
