The Soul Queen

The Soul Queen

At night

she took me for

a ride in her

royal chariot

illuminating the

darkness of the town

as if awakening

the dream with

the rose of the heart

one hand in the

milk of the arms

and another in

the freedom

of the dream

proclaiming love

to the people

driving the world mad

she guides the

galaxy boasting

of her adventure

surpassing the

guardians of

countries and the

borders of regions.

I was the companion

of the Queen

while bequeathing

the rose of slumber

upon the night.
