Hero
The grave
of hero
purple
heart
bloody
roses
dead
dream
sleep.
Chalice
Bloody
tears
in the mirror
of the past
heart
faith
at the bottom
of the
glass.
Hieronymus
Images
of horror
grab my neck
They want
to free
the canvases
where eternal
darkness shines.
Gaudi
Architect of dreams
the battle is lost
surreal cathedral
the grave is brought
Cold views
disappearing in the fog
looking
for mythical
kiss of death.
Sound
The candles
In the dark
the sound
of the dream
darkness
covered
his eyes
light in dream
without life.
