They might be depressive
Sometimes obsessive
Possessive
From time to time

They are forthcoming
Try to be loving
Without the lying and the denying
That life sometimes *****

They might seem deceiving
But serve as relief
As part of the grieving
Against all the odds

They are part of my thoughts
From past and the present
That make me feel pleasant
When I dance to the beat of my heart

They are part of my soul
I have never expected
That has ever existed
Inside of my confiding mind

Though I have never predicted
They made me addicted
Of the blank spaces
In all of my books

They made me convinced
Without resisting
That words are the only way

To express all my sorrow
To hope for tomorrow
To be better than today

To send me to the moon
On a hot air balloon
Cause words can just do that

To see all the stars
Through the army of clouds
That make the day only grey


They make me believe
And let me perceive
The world through my own lens

The words I write down
The words I say loud
The words that are still waiting their turn

They make me remember
And completely surrender
Before my own self

I fell asleep
With the scent of you
With a touch of you
I closed my eyes

I flew away
With a thought of you
With a thought of us
I touched the sky

Rays of sunlight
Passing by
As are the days
Since we are apart

Long gone stars
are the only ones
that give me hope
of the lost time

You and me
We still exist
In the empty space
Of our broken hearts

The other side of the moon
is not dark as it is said
It’s not mean nor have ever been
It’s not red nor grey
It’s not yellow or blue
It’s real as you and me
It aches as we do
Because it’s the other
Not the one we could see

The other side of the moon
Is what makes me wonder
When I see into your eyes
From an inch of space
Between our naked souls
And it’s not the eyes
that make me wonder
It’s not your words
that make me stronger
It’s the silence in between
That wakes me up from the dream

Where the moon and I dance around
Where the dark and light it’s all the same
Where front and back doesn't matter
Where you have just one face
And not a hundred from which you choose
And there are no lies that make me lose
The fight of love
The fight of freedom
The fight for truth against your demons

The other side of the moon
Is what makes me feel close to you
Though I cannot see it
I am sure it’s part of you

Black sugar you say
Black as the night
Sweet as your lips
Caressing my senses
Touching me deep
I felt it running through me

Warming me up
from the inside
Leaving a glow
of heat and energy
Oh God what have you done
What have I become

Black sugar
in the longest of days
Black sugar
in the shortest of nights
Black sugar
with a friend
or without
experimenting with a friend after couple of coffees from the machine (black with sugar)... Thank you Lena

Dali's "The Persisting of Memory" makes me think of you
The melting watches start to make sense
while space and time start to lose meaning
I now know what Dali meant  

Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" makes me think of you
Engaging me in a silent communication
while constantly smiling
I now know what da Vinci meant

The empty room makes me think of you
Meaningless objects start to lose their purpose
while the scent of you slowly disappears
I now know how empty really feels

Instead of proper farewell
you left me exposed
breathless and
completely empty

Do we care anymore
other than for donuts
and a free seat in a bus?
We are waiting in lines
for the wrong things and
seating in the wrong seats
Constantly chasing the time
as though it will start
running backwards
as soon as we catch it

I saw one young girl
drawing hearts on a foggy glass
She smiled when she put her own
and the initials of her younger sister
Children care!
I still have hope that
this donut world of ours
will one day be filled
with the right things

For the mean time please one
Chocolate Coconut Cake Donut with Sprinkles
low fat, gluten free and rich in fibres of course
and to go please
so we can eat it on the bus
because when we eat on the go
calories do not count
Daaah!
It's not a poem...but still... I felt lost...

Gravity is negligible
Ground below disappears
Stars are within reach
And our energy grows
Even Einstein envies us
Because time stops
When we are together

Control is needless
With full confidence
we make every desire reality
Even Atlas envies us
Because the world lies
In the palm of our hands
When we are together

As brave warriors
We boldly crash
Every border ahead
For a higher cause
Even Napoleon envies us
Because we are the masters of power
When we are together

The melody of
Our melded bodies
Is the only thing we hear
Even Mozart envies
The perfectly composed symphony
When we are together

Moral vanished
Rationality forgotten
Our psyche ruled by Id
Even Freud envies us
because pleasure is the only drug we use
When we are together

The fantasy is real
As  is the breathing
Mine and yours
Deep and passionate
Even Nietzsche envies us
Because the Übermensch becomes alive
When we are together

It takes a lot of time to unleash the hidden beast inside... But when it is out I feel like I have exhaled a mountain... Poetry makes me visit secret worlds where everything is possible...
