Bilingual
I saw her footprints on the sea
ย
I knew her eyes were watching me
ย
So I ventured further in my mind
ย
In the hope that I would find
"Tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and
Plasticine porters with looking glass ties"
ย
My mind had formed a mental prison
ย
I cried aloud, no one would listen
ย
Then, floating through the heavy mist
ย
My vision took a sudden twist
"Tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and
Plasticine porters with looking glass ties"
Empty people stood in grey
ย
Children laughing far away
An empty courtyard wept alone
ย
Rain lashed down on darkened stone
An empty courtyard wept alone
Rain lashed down on darkened stone
"Tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and
Plasticine porters with looking glass ties"
"Tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and
Plasticine porters with looking glass ties"
ย
A crystal glove points to the door
ย
A threshold I had crossed before
ย
On turning back, all I could see
ย
Were her footprints on the sea
ย
