Adieu my savage heart.

This is our true, for-real-now, 

Good-bye. I’m locking you in

And throwing  far away

The key , to the edge of the earth,

Where no one will find it,

Specially not me.

So long, then, my savage heart.

Farewell to our wild times,

Howling at the moon, running

With the pack, singing half naked

In the road side bar.

It’s time to part, my savage heart.

No more screaming love making

With strangers, passing by,

Smelling of mystery and desperation

At the same time. No more dancing

With cowboy boots on tables

At the blues café. No more

Poetry reciting at the bank,

To the bewildered teller.

No more singing raunchy melodies.

No more sinning, our greyish soul

Brimming with laughter.

No more packing our life

In a suitcase, and just walk away,

To next place, to the next race between

Destiny and us…
