Damnation


Under the stars I am,
Looking up to the heavens,
 
They themselves do not hear my cry,
 
For I am looking for a rose,
 
A rose that grows during winter,
 
That rose is all I need,
 
For until that moment comes,
 
The moment that I find that rose,
 
I am damned to live,
 
In the island of solitude.  
 
For all I need,
 
Is that rose.
