My Rosemary Bird

Blink, my rosemary bird!

Blink again and repeat it.

With each blink, go years behind.

Go to the incomplete stories.

You flew away from your senses,

Only to get your desires.

But why was it my rosemary bird,

That you did it for yourself?

Blink! Can you take me there?

My rosemary bird,

Can you let me heal it?

Can you give me another chance?

To make you understand what's worth it.

Can you take me to another sunrise?

Where I can again wake you?

Can you take me where the stars fell?

Can you let me again see it?

Can you give me another spring?

With orange roads to charm you?

With sheets on us, my frozen bird,

Winter was just to warm you.

With skins all wet, our prayers set,

Can we once again feel it?

But blink, my rosemary bird!

There's no time for regrets.
