When expressions that melt in the heat of emotions
Are frozen into images beyond infinity.
When a heart that pulsates with the rhythmn of life
Beats with the mechanical accoustics of mere existence.
When desires to excel, to live life, are replaced
By the endless wait for the final episode.
When the curtains fall on the icy cold reflections
Of those born as men, laid down as rock mannequins.
When flesh and blood mingle with the dust of the earth
Life seems a futile effort seeing all emotions ebb away.
