IN THE IMPERIAL GARDEN

 



IN THE IMPERIAL GARDEN


The flower bird

The garden rainbow

The most precious treasure

of the emperor's daughter

had disappeared

The bellies of three suspicious dragons

were emptied

The manager of the garden

was sacrificed

for inept

Some neighboring kingdoms

with dubious reputation

were invaded

But not a clue

of its whereabouts


One day at sunset

The girl called him screaming:

appeared appeared

The emperor compared

her joy with hers

He looked at the little bird

perched on the branch

He watched his daughter laugh again.


And sat down while

and let the breeze

hide his tears

among the dry leaves


He understood that he had crossed

that thin and dangerous veil

that separates love from madness

and there was no way to return

It was already late

soon the heavenly vault

would be covered with stars



Dedicated to those who keep

the chest of his childhood

out of the reach of adults
