Late Night Whispers of Bildo Maldeano



Dreaming about strands of an unfinished love


On an undulating blue and green sea


Mentally riding the fast midnight pain train 


Of broken visions that plead to remain


As these sad tears sit snug 

Inside me 


As my loyal and so familiar companions 

Waiting for my eyes loving hug


Filled with feverish dreams 

That I cannot let blow out 


Like a white pristine 

Funeral candle and let die


 

My soul takes flight 

Late 

Every night


Searching for its port key

Over all it see's 


Looking for its only dandelion home


To a place beyond 

The stars 


All mortal idealisms 

Personal wars like Flanders Fields 


Raw emotions

Linked to darkened 

Old rooms 


Of compartmentalized memories

And so many other complications 


Which can quickly turn 

Into torturous situations


Where pure daydreams 

Can no longer thrive


But in pain 


Cry out for exculpation 

And redemption 


To survive


Begging for Despair 

To be excommunicated from this church 


For it will never yield 


And as it returns

Walking back 


From paths concealed 


With fruits of The Hunt 

Found beyond 


The likes of

Flanders Fields 


To me 


It's host and living ghost 

Bildo Maldeano



Whose flesh it uses 

As its shield 


We once more merge 

Together as one 


And begin to run

As we both know 


My mortal time is nearly done
