Unhappy Ending Fable Poem by Saverio Terracciano

From the deepest sky a star I'd like to bring
to put it gently between your scented hair,
and you wouldn't come out from your far lair.
Also a comet for you would be a simple thing.

From the highest mountain a rose I'd like to take
to place it smoothly on your soft hand,
and you wouldn't move from the place where you stand.
Also climb the Andes for you would be easy to make.

From the sunshine a golden ray I'd like to steal
to wrap it around your finger like a ring,
and you wouldn't notice either this thing.
Also the sun for you wouldn't be a big deal.

I am sorry if I am just a dreamer and not more,
I can't offer you much but my stupid dreams.
I hope you will get what your name for me means,
without you I can't breath serenely anymore.


Close your eyes and come with me at least once,
trust me and I'll guide you into our magic tale,
let's get on the flying carpet through the gale,
let's rise the eternity where skylights bounce.

Ahead, till we reach the neverwinter place,
where we can see the true color of the sound,
where we can jump on the clouds without rebound,
no troubles here, me and you for once in peace.

With me on this travel I would have only thee,
1000 princess I could have to choose between,
that my Heart will only call you as his Queen.
You should know your name is carved on my tree.

But this is just my fable without an happy ending,
a foolish fantasy that kept me writing till the dawn,
thinking to you, while the sane people sleep or yawn.
While the night fly away, I am here words shaping.

I know you will take this just like another error,
I know for you all I do is wrong, and you won't care
my best dream would be the One that you can share,
and the fear you'll never believe it, my worse terror.
