The first and the last "romance"

Life !.

Torches me with its soft hands of tenderness.
Caresses me like the feathers of a dove.
Loving the very nature of me.

Ach! !

The perfumes of nature.
Embalming the air around me.
I'm in estarcy. I empty myself !

Death comes and buys me off.
It takes me to adventures  unknown.
Ach!! Silence!! .
my dear soul
Lovingly travelling to space.
I empty myself

Free !!!.

Lighter like a star in a dark moon.
I'm in estasy. I empty myself.
I live in the memory of the living.
I live in life. I live in death.
