POETRY
LILAC
Emilio Tellez Rodríguez

Life was moving pretty fast,
And in one moment, all turned black,
Then I didn’t remember my past,
And started thinking of a heart attack.
I didn't see, I was so blind,
My life going down like a waterfall,
My thoughts were flying out of my mind,
But it was just cracks overall
A little light, a piece of gold,
Appeared from nowhere, then dark took place,
A knight came, but he was ice-cold,
He pulled a sword and killed with no grace.
The moment I wake up, I see flames,
Then I see flowers revealed in ashes,
The night is coming but there remains,
A lilac blossom with deadly branches.
