The Fate
Painting by: Costin Chioreanu Text by: Corneliu Stănciulescu
The ineffable journey of their love, the place of their gathering, it’s only in her dream,
a dream that falsely makes him human and as she dreams, becomes the light.
The dance of one being the other and then awake, returning to the start, confuses Cătălina,
who tells Lucifer she cannot follow him to the land of icy death, of the eternal life.
She wants Lucifer to give up his eternity, just to become a mortal being, like her.
He’s twisted with pain but promises to ask permission and as he talks, he disappears from the sky.
A few nights the dark was absolute and fierce, no Lucifer to shine.
Meanwhile Cătălin, a sly young boy approaches her which looks like a good catch.
He never misses one. He’s promising love and real touch, which Lucifer will never can.
She tries to chase him away, but then he tries again, until she slowly, sweetly, surrenders to his charm.
Fate is done!
