                            Life

                         Oh life!
                                                            Hints of fortitude lie resolute,
            Thou art my companion
                                                           In this summer-drenched town
                    My soulmate,
                                                                            of passion.
            We are bound together,

          By an eternal bond of love.
                                                              With its heat that evokes a
                We are attached,
                                                                   sense of vehemence,
              By the same thread,
                                                           And its putrid stench that lures
            To the boat of destiny.
                                                           you into a state of decadence.
               We face  tempests


      And thunderstorms together.
                                                           Ignorance seems to be easier,
               Thou art my friend,
                                                             Than the thorny galoshes of
        Who offers a helping hand
                                                                           what’s real.

            When tempests strike,
                                                             Getting drenched is the only
            The coasts of destiny.
                                                                               option.
