Mistress Of The East

A child long ago was born,

In the lush tropics,

Where the breeze never ends,

Where the bird's chirps are a sign of:

The coming of the gods.

Seven was your day,

Five was your month,

Twenty-two was your year,

In the late spring,

Approaching the hot summer season,

In the warm Iberian Sea,

You are gone.

Have to remind myself like Norwegian Wood said:

On Sundays, I did not wind my spring.

Only loss of words,

And the pain I continue to live on,

Here and there,

Not always remembering it,

But it is always in my deep mind,

Trying to burst out one day.
