I will meet you yet again How and where? I know not Perhaps I will become a figment of your imagination

I will meet you yet again
How and where? I know not
Perhaps I will become a
figment of your imagination
and maybe, spreading myself
in a mysterious line
on your canvas
I will keep gazing at you

Perhaps I will become a ray
of sunshine, to be
embraced by your colours
I will paint myself on your canvas
I know not how and where
but I will meet you for sure
Maybe I will turn into a spring
and rub the foaming
drops of water on your body
and rest my coolness on
your burning chest
I know nothing else
but that this life
will walk along with me
When the body perishes
all perishes
but the threads of memory
are woven with enduring specks
I will pick these particles
weave the threads
and I will meet you yet again
