Get Out

There's still time

 Don’t give in…
Time…
To reach out and

   again begin.

Accept your shadows,
    Bury your fears,
Release all burdens,
    Take up the flight.

Do not give up

    for this is life.

Continue the journey,
Pursue your dreams,
Unlock time,
Swim in the sky.

Don’t  give up, please do not
Although the cold burns,
    and the fear hurts.
Although the sun is hidden,
    and the wind does not blow,
There's still fire in your soul
    Verve in your dreams.

A new breeze to breathe…

Because life is yours and so is that desire
Because there is wine and there are roses.
Because there are no wounds

 which time cannot heal.

Open doors
Remove bolts,
Leaving only the walls that protect you.

Live life and accept challenges
    Bring back your laughter,
Hum and sing a song,
    Loosen your passion
Unfold your wings
    And try again.

Celebrate this instant and return to heaven.

Because this is the time and the best time, the only time.
Because you're not alone, because I love you.

Countdown

Yes, I am so selfish

But I’ll be there

While you count every second

Breathing some new hope

You know it's all  lost

So do I, so will I

And I’ll be there

Living your life through me

But your pain

Does not hurt the same

In my head, my bones, my lungs

I’m selfish

But I’ll be there

And as you count your last minutes

I look at my watch

Longing to go

Play another show

Abandoning  you there

Trying to quit for a while

I surrender

Am so selfish, yes

And whilst anywhere

I’ll be there

Counting the hours

For you to leave this world

You forgot it all

I have not.

I’m so selfish

I’m still there.

Empty?

 __________________________

Nothing in that sack

You fool.

Thinking it is full.

You  are naked

As when born,

As when gone.

Where you go

What you do

That's all:

You. 

Just step on

Tightly.

flow tears flow

Certain pieces of music
Always bring tears to her eyes

Even and

Especially

When some intense happiness
Is all around... 

Not because
The reminder is anyone
Or anything in particular
In fact, apparently
No reminder at all

That would come later on

It’s because that music
Literally
Moves her soul

And when that happens
She cannot help it
But cry
A huge world
Of inner agitation
Arises, and as she cries
She cries on... 

And thoughts about
All the reasons
Why she’s cried
In all her life so long
Begin to flow.

Another today

Today this I might

Feel like that queen

Sea-born

Night-loving

Most desired.

Apparent and unseen

I might right now

Feel gold crowned

Illustrious

Lustrous nails

Laughter-loving

Most desired.

By even those…

Reverent minds

Persuading

The most inclined

And also the least sharp.

So I’d be

Aphrodite

Encircling it all

Joined to harmony

For life.

today

what once was

once again will be

and those who were will be again

and the things we do

and are around us

 are the same they used to be

and will be again

kissing, observing, caressing

with the same mouths, the same hands

all we have to do is look to understand

walking the same path

 traced

foreseen

 millions of years ago

and from now on.

Beyond belief?

There he was

Through the glass I saw

He looked at me

But did he see?

I blushed and to smile

 I tried

Adrenalin motionless

And I felt oblivious to his eyes

As to the other  guys’

How come

I did not give a damn?

Focused on my nails...

Needing  filing.

And perhaps

Polishing as well…

transition

And as the ivy grows

So do my words

And so they tangle

And ramble

As I find myself sitting

By his side

Not far away but

Looking at the way

Having so little to say

Except for

Hey

I keep missing you

Mate.

Gluttony

Only when you go to sleep

Will this need to eat and drink cease...

And as you dream

You’ll want it all

You’ll want much more.

Your mouth,

A door to hell and paradise.

And you realize

Your vigilance

Your sobriety

Your self-control is now

Ruined and extinct.

Grievous disgust and guilt.

And you call pig the one in the mirror

Craving to get rid of an anxiety

Which you forgot how long ago...

An anxiety

Which no love or sport

      will ever call off...

Why cry?

Tears left home long ago

Why cry?

I need to close myself up

Unaware that’s where I am

Need to go away, escape

Unaware I am already there

Yet this feeling

This numbness follows me

Far and wide

Why cry?

Can’t walk and if I do

My heart weighs so

Bearing this melancholic strain

Isolation and alienation, my friends

Why cry?

No matter how much the bells toll

Or just because

Reminding me my life will also

Soon be concluded.
