The Bar : Life

written by Poet : EC


Bravely I went visiting my past,
went to refind it in that cosy bar from my youth
was this it, this beer-ridden den for zombies?
I saw the magic piano, although no one played
on the dance floor no flirty couples, neither fights

caught my present-day-image in the mirror above the bar
so this really is it, I thought, as I nodded to the new me,
I saw my face turn younger and then age back again
as the past merged with the present-day in that mirror
yes, this is it, I thought, this is my fountain of stardust
now turned into the disclosed castle of my youth 
much too small and worn-out for my dreams
however, still magic, only not for me
