Sometimes

This is how it happens sometimes

I hug myself in a hurry and move on

The things I wanted to say escape in tears and fall in love with their flaws

The roads to its promises are smoldering embers

The mountains are faithful to their lies

And the sea reminds me of what it once wrote to me and became a wave that drinks its foam

This is how it happens sometimes

Struck by emotional word

With No voice, no rose on its stem.
