I stumbled over a perfect dream
As the moonlight made me feel
Like I was the only one
She wants to give a smile
And whisper in my ear
Tonight you are only mine

As an empty page to be filled
With sweetest stories and some dreams
I runned into the world
With the heart sawn onto my sleeve
Forgetting about the wounds
That made me feel so weak

Into seedless grape I changed that day
Not by wish but by my faith
Kissing with the rain
Smiling to the moon
Dancing with my soul
I never thought I would

I stumbled over a perfect dream
As the moonlight made me feel
Like I was the only one
He wants to give a smile
And whisper in my ear
Tonight you are only mine

This dream I never thought I had
Made me feel like seedless grape

I got a tattoo of you
The ink penetrated my skin
And went deep inside my blood cells
It wasn’t a choice nor a wish
It happened out of the blue
Like you did when you entered my life
As I faded away like shadow does
When there is no light
Far away from home
My heart felt it belonged there
Among the clouds
Hiding behind the mountains
Of forgotten snow and lost dreams
Like the ink inside my body
That made me glow
I am the light now
I left the shadow behind

I feel free
Free of you and every mad man
Pretending to be lonely
Free of all the demons
Haunting me at night
Free of dreams and burden
Dragged along for comfort
I feel free
Like the wind you cannot see
Flying close to earth
Like the leaves of the tallest trees
Flying as they fall
Like the birds born with wings
I can fly with open eyes
I can fly free
Free I am at last

Lost smiles
Like lost birds
Walking the pavement
Of a forgotten city
That once was an empire
Of lost clouds
Seeking refuge
During summer months
When the sky was blue
So the sun could warm up
The souls of the lost loves
Wandering like lost ghosts
In an abandoned house
Dancing like the window shutters
Making music during summer storms
Lost smiles of lost loves
Is what I hear when I walk the streets
I wonder if you can hear them too
Since your soul left you

As the day gives birth to the night
“Have faith” a voice whispers
The skies turn dark
And the only light I see
Is the reflection of the moonlight
In the river I am crossing
My eyes are too tired to look up
So I enjoy the reflection
As though she came down on earth
Just to make me company
I like the night
It’s the only time
I can hear what I think
And think what I really mean
As I cross the river
I enter the woods with no light
Even the stars are not to be seen
But I just continue forward
Till I reach the other side
“I have faith” I say aloud to the velvet skies
As the night gives birth of the new day
On the other side of the woods

I lost 
What I never had
But it felt mine
I lost
A fight in my dream
That was never real
I lost
A kiss I was wishing for
But never came
I lost 
Time searching for an answer
To a question that was never asked
I lost 
Myself in a story
I wasn't even in 
I lost
A game to an imaginary friend 
In an imaginary world 
Imagined but not in my head 
I lost it

You are a story that I write
Since the age of five
Since I saw that butterfly
Landing on my finger
I kept my breath
So she wouldn’t fly
Away like the rest of my dreams
For a moment longer
I could have been dead
But I never thought of that
As I exhaled
I scared her off and she was gone
Quicker than the image of my first kiss
With the frog I thought would turn into prince
But it didn’t
Who am I to dream
But a wounded soul
Trying to tell a story
Since the age of five
when I saw that butterfly
