Please, have mercy! You are all my children, Whom I've given birth to and nourished Until you were strong enough to hurt me, And even after that, Because I still love you Even though you've forgotten me. Please, have mercy! I promise to keep caring for you, And I promise to be there for you, And I promise to suffice all of your needs, But please, don't mistreat me, Don't mistreat your mother, Don't pollute her water, Don't pollute her air, Don't pollute her roads, Don't cut her forests, Don't **** her animals, Don't sterilize her earth, Don't mute her song, Don't do to her what she's never done to you. I'm your mother, And I ask for forgiveness If I've ever hurt you, But please, my dear children, Have mercy on me!

A mother's last request
When I walk through this silver streets, When I drink from this thick glass, When I think and cry and cry to think, When I burn this curse, when I breath this bless, I'm never here, that's someone else, It might be, There's something else, being me. I'm never actually sad or happy or confused, I never am, you see, I'm never bored or dreamily amused, Cause someone else is for me. I myself inhabit the lilac echoes behind what I should be, I myself have never suffered, I just watch another's pain, It's much easier to see life this way, As if I'm something too precious to exist, As if I'm life itself, beneath my wrist, I'm the conscience of the blood, When it's ceased the bruise's pain, I'm the spirit, not the body, I am not in vain.

Indolence
Not to be built with bricks, Not to be shut with stone, I want the silence of water, A paradise of my own. Be quiet, if you can! Stay still, if you will! Blink in the blue of ice, All wounds heal. Let's move, move to an island, Let's dream and be silent!

Blue song
Let's talk poppies and candies, Let's talk summer frocks and bees, Let's talk blue skies ending In crystal blue seas. Sure let's talk the neighbors, Sure let's talk cooking books, Sure let's talk red lipstick And guys' good looks! We're gonna talk Elvis and Marilyn And Trotsky and Tolstoy, We're gonna talk Eastern countries We're about to destroy. And Italian movies and French perfumes, Marijuana and milkshake, Bobby socks and jukebox, And vacations by the lake. Let's talk, my dearest pal All of the above, But I'd say, first of all, Let's not talk love.

Emmalou, don't you grow For adulthood darkens and sours The moonly white of thy brow From the clear days of yore, Emmalou, don't you grow. Emmalou, don't you enter This garden's open door, Cupid lies in its center And his eyes' dark and sour, Emmalou don't you listen to me.

Emmalou II
Hey, The weather's so nice today We'd go to the beach it it wasn't The lack of money and of time, Say, Their team's lost the game Whose is the blame, Is it theirs or mine? Hi, Boy I love you so much I'm gonna die.

I love thee with a love unknown Unknown to me, its winds blow Now I can see my very soul I love thee out of time I love thee with sounds Of songs that do not rhyme Over seas, over grounds I love thee at night I love thee with lemons Made out of light I love thee with honey I love thee with rue I love thee like a child I love thee like a God I worship you and curse you I destroy I love you so much In quantum physics An apple from a tree I love you so much I want you happy Even if it's not with me

I love you
She sang a song of seven seas She'd once travelled by, A song of woe, a song of bliss, She sang to the sky. She sang a song of seven seas As she died on the shore, A song as sweet as a salty kiss To be heard nevermore.

She sang a song of seven seas
Glossy rag curls the colour of gold Decked with a frail flower wreath, A dress still fitting though quite old In the source of a frozen breath; Pale complexion, rosy cheeks, Eyes of blue, summer and light, Glistening crimson plump lips And a most malicious sight.

Portrait of a Little Austrian Girl
I just ate an entire chocolate bar. Could have it poisoned my very heart? Cause although the chewing felt like flying This aftermath feels just like dying!
