Drifting in the winds of buoyant youth he lived, and slew the stagnant dragon that drowned him in mortality. In the mocking laughter ' s wind, its caresses exciting he stumbled after whirling passion that knew no calm. In his ripening manhood the seeds of adventure grew like weed, strangling him in sweet smelling vine. The liquid wind of his swimming blood ran in torrents that summer ' s spring. That tired man crying at the dying of the wind, his cold ears deafened by the hiss of dampened flames, was crushed under weight of drifting dreams. The empty heart that feels no pain, void of affection, a muscle of neglection, whose imperceptible murmurs remind that its cancerous tissue is dying. The happy face that shows no pain, pale with the nausea of unquenched thirst, sealing beneath a rubber face a ghost that is crying for birth. Guilty is the mind that knows no pain, shedding no tear for the misery it begets, only infecting, when it tries to console, the innocent wounds it inflicts.
