I see blue from a rooftop, blinded by light and laughter. an embrace of the sun — my skin, melting butter. through the attic window, weightless curtains flutter… and I suddenly wonder: what it feels like to be a bird? smelling air, its scent of lavender, singing the wind's song, unbottling memories of last summer. enjoying a rainbow after the thunder, oh, how I wonder what it feels like to have wings? and I fall asleep, lullabied into dreams by a gentle wind with its tune of a summer breeze.

What would it feel like to be a bird?
I need some vitamin sea, to be careless and even wild. God, I would like to live my life free, go back to the times when I was a child. I want to feel morning dew with my bare feet, greet the sun, fall in love once more... go flower-picking in the field, use the shore of the lake as a dance floor. I will build a raft using plastic bottles and I’ll sail to the very heart of the sea. If you are also courageous and reckless you are welcome to come and join me. What is age, anyways, but a number? You can be eight or eighty, doesn’t matter to me. If your eyes are constantly filled with wonder there is no age limit to be free.

Vitamin sea
For someone you love be always there Like mama bird comes to its baby through light airs Like a tide that brings waves to the shore during storm And if you are far you can do even more: Pray to the Lord who is always around Even for those who think they are drowned Ask him to be with your loved when you can’t And you can be sure that they will be saved.

Someone you love
Show me the Milky Way I need to taste its creaminess Mixed with your luring sweatiness Because I'm trapped and you're ok When I am wide awake each night Not able to discern reality from dream I go to the fridge in search of whipped cream And everything feels just alright But then the morning comes The sun's so bright with searing heat Its color vermilion indeed And then again, I'm longing for the night and stars.

Milky Way
I dedicated poems to you written with tears of unrequited love but you never said that you loved me too and sometimes I imagined us I imagined us holding hands walking along wet streets after rain I remember seeing your smiling face when you said yes to a priest, our travel to Spain but painkillers never soothed the pain this pain of unrequited love that I now cause to another man.

unrequited love
I am learning to fly every day, every night I am learning to fly on my own spreading my wings wanting to catch the sun With the break of dawn With its rays being so hot and bright to be loved…can it blind? I feel the weight of my feathers cling to the skin and me clinging to hope like it is a sin I hope to be always caressed by the sun Lullabied by the gentle breeze And during the raging storms being able to hide in the crown of the trees My wings are still growing, I am not flying high While my thoughts are already somewhere in space In my dreams, I am already far in the sky Flying high at a fast steady pace “A delusion?”, you’d ask me; I would say, “life”. After all, I’m a bird learning to be free I will think of the failures and downs in the afterlife But for now, I’m not afraid to fly above the rolling sea.

Learning to fly
So here we are in this world of lies Where everyone seeks their rights But for that Is ready to slash tires Of a neighbour or stranger or lover Everything’s done undercover Of fake smiles and sweet talks As cunning as a fox How to find the truth? They say learn from the youth Who has lost their innocence too So just drink vermouth And simply observe this humanity zoo.

Humanity zoo
If anyone ever asks me my story I’ll tell them a tale about a warrior The one who fell so many times But who managed to rise Who’d cried in the night But moved on at sunrise Who’d been beaten up But was never defeated Who would fight for life And no matter the scars she would win it.

Warrior
Don’t judge a fractious soul, It’s made of flame and sparks And even at the North Pole It’ll light a million torches in the dark. We’ll not be harnessed and, moreover, tamed With someone else’s reins. That someone ought to hang their head in shame And have our legs unchained. No one is to decide What’s right for me or wrong. I am a fractious soul and care not a snap For your opinion after all.

Under the sky in May Dear wind, blow me away like ashes I want to be somewhere Where my moon shines
