nepenthe

nepenthe,a forgotten lore

thoughts i am buried
that im sure
save me,take me to the world
you dreamt for me
numb me, trap me in the high walls
of the chateau you put up for me

nepenthe,my love
my dearest happy pill
delight me
im lost in the wilderness of my thoughts
sorrows fade
you build in me a barracade

nepenthe,
a drug of forgetfulnes
dry my eyes
kaleidoscope my skies
empty my thoughts
like the emptiness of space
where i am an astronaut.
