First love

Two young souls
and their first love
that -was me

A prison called suffocate
and its keeper
substitute to surrender
that -was her pride

Brothels on a street called love
substitute to a whore
that- was her heart

A mirror that calls her friend
and a reflection that blurs
substitute to anger
those- were her tears

A mad circus
and laughter missing
substitute to a clown
that- was her worth

A silk merchant
painting shadows
and his iron ship sailing far west
first love to his ship
here -i am I again
