Like pink flamingos
flame colored we were born
among the rest
colorless souls
Just me and you
miles apart
so we could see our flames

Like the bird of wonders
each day we die
and we rise again
from the ashes
so we could start anew
till we make it right
or till the end of our time

Like singing lovebirds
we call each other
during day and night
till we hear the song
or see the light
of a flame colored phoenix
shining brightly
before our eyes

Of flesh and flames
we were made
to burn down like the stars
Against all odds
we survived
and against them all
we are still alive

I think I need a lifetime
To wear off these feelings I have
To cry out this river veiled in me
Cause life is no fairytale
When there isn’t you and me

Why it gets harder
Each time I fall down
Have I not learned it yet
That people are just clowns

Only a fool and a lost soul
Can give them credit for nothing they have ever done
And give them a chance to prove
That they are children of the sun

Oh why did you let me fly
Just to drop me like a stone
Oh this falling has no end
Why did you let me feel you
So I could never forget?
Nor can I have any regret
Cause the feeling you have left me with is bitter sweet
Oh we should have never meet

Why did I let you in
When my heart was still a wreck
And it couldn’t see what is bad
Or that you are still sad
Oh why did I ever believed
That your words are from your soul
From within

If you ever meet your soulmate
Just make sure that he is the one
Before he strips you to the bones
and turn your heart into stone
Even the softest wind will crash your wings
before you realize that you are again all alone

Nothing lasts
nothing, Love
all is dust
all is, Love

Woke up hoping
morning flames
dozed off hopeless
with no name

Day by day
all the same
blinding light
drunken game

I try to be
try so hard
caught inside
have no luck

I know I can
you say so
but cannot take
another blow

So whisper gently
in my ear
what I want
so bad to hear

Whisper gently
let me breathe
to hear your voice
is all I need

Nothing lasts
nothing, Love
all is dust
all but us

Sounds like drops of rain
Following a perfect pattern
Are crawling up your broken body
As the scents of spring
Spread the joy
The trumpet slowly breaks your walls
The piano makes you find your peace
The clarinet starts to flirt
Your soul melts down
By the double bass
As you fall in love
With all that jazz

Is it something that was said
that has made you all so mad
But wake up and look around
you are not the only clown
Is it because it was too late
or because you have no fate
to accept the truth as it is
this door might be wrong
but you have the right keys
Is it something in the air
that makes you not to care
how your soul feels in the deep
and you can’t get any sleep
Is it something that you know
or  because you can’t let go
and don’t want to comprehend
that you are not far from the end
So hold your head up and don’t you give up
There will be something very true that’s gonna save me and you
There will be something very nice *that is surely worth the price

As I fall asleep
Each night
I let the dreams
Take me home
Where I feel
Like a colored cloud
Over forest
Full of lime trees
Where she dances
Like the breeze
On an August night,
I surrender
To the shades
Of her soul
And the scent
Of her passion
That makes me burst
Into particles of light
Oh how I love the night
Oh how I love my dreams
When I am there
I can kiss her
Any time I please

I miss the weight of "I love you"
The gentle pull, the soft breakthrough,
A phrase once whispered, raw, sincere,
Now scattered wide, to all who hear

I cast it out, a fragile charm,
A whispered warmth, a healing balm
To strangers, friends, and passing souls,
To mend the gaps, to patch the holes

It’s not a lie, but not the same,
It lacks the spark, the tender flame
Yet still, it blooms in passing hearts,
A love reborn in scattered parts

Perhaps in giving, I will find,
The echoes of a heart aligned
Until that day, I’ll let it flow,
To bloom in places I may not know

You are like the sweetest spring
Bringing winter a new swing
You are like a mountain flower
Tender beauty with full power
You are like the summer breeze
Stroking trough the gentle leaves
You are like the toughest peak
Always strong never weak
And all you need is just a smile
to make each day an extra mile
All you need is just a dream
To make your life go upstream
So be as perfect as you are
Just a flawless shining star

A crownless king lies beside me
Each night as the day surrenders
Singing a song, playing a game
With the moon of the twenty eight days

Heavenly voice breaks through the air
As the story unravels its blossoms
Making us sway from side to side
Embraced together in the face of love

At dawn of day as the light creeps in
It feels like we are kissing the sky
This king in my arms, his virtues and charms
Bring each day new dream to life

Chasing smiles
Is like chasing rainbows
In a world
With no rain
Only those
Who are brave
Will take a step
On a thorny way
Crossing deserts
And mountains high
Until they reach
The starry sky
In the deepest seas
They will dive
Until they reach
The other side
Chasing rainbows
Is like chasing smiles
In a world
With no laughter
Only those
Who are brave
Will look for rainbows
Before the rain

The wounds are deep
They shot me down
They lift me up
And dropped me down

The scars are fresh
Will stay forever
An eternal mark
Of my last endeavor

My soul just bleeds
But it will heal
I got stampede
That’s how I feel

I can’t cry
It’s not a choice
I can’t speak
They took my voice

But I can write
What lies in me
Unveil the secrets
For the world to see

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

Silent steps I hear
creeping in, coming near
Distant rush coming close
keeping me on the toes

All the senses on alert
making me to convert
My excitement on the verge
timely seeking to emerge

My asylum just a place
to lay down my broken face
But it’s not safe anymore
I need to find another door

It’s time to throw the glove down
To wake up and look around
To feel the love from my friends
To see the world through their lens

*It’s so scary to just go on feeling like a black swan

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

Like a lost cloud
In the blue sky
You appeared from nowhere
Or somewhere
I cannot remember
It was a trick
Of some kind
Along the pitch line
Of the belt of life
I think, or not
But it was short
The me and you
And the them and those
Who never had a choice
To do more than they can
Than they want or wish
I cannot tell
I am not a golden fish
Nor a golden chance
Well not to you
But to me
I am the world
And the moon
And a distant star
I worship from afar
As you fade away
With the yesterday
We shared somewhere
I say goodbye
I say farewell
As the sadness dies
In my brown eyes
We fade away
Behind the horizon line
It’s yesterday
You and I
It’s a memory
An end  
Of a careless love

Blue freedom far from me
white shadow behind me

Yellow sun far beneath
red carpets underneath

Orange lights over me
green dreams on the tree

Can you hear my voiceless pleads
can you see my faithless deeds

Hope this feeling will go by
hope to end before I die

So don't forget me I am here
making steps to come near

Me, myself and my foolish heart
breaking free for a brand new start

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

Her graceful wings
She got at birth
And her talent to dance
Used her wings to fly away
Whenever she got a chance

With her happy feet
And a smile that heals
She dances through every pain
Her truthful heart and her humble soul
Will save you from the vain

The righteous way
Is the only way
For a hero like she is
No matter what she has your back
Shadowing her bliss

Blessed with love I must have been
To have her by my side
She gives me wings
So I could fly
My dancing butterfly

I don’t know you nor we have ever met
But I feel like I owe you like I am in great debt

So let me thank you the best way I could do
Devoting these word only to You

You are my angel though you may not know that yet
You are just a stranger warning me from future threats

You are the light when I feel scared
You are the challenge that makes me feel dared

You words music to my ears
Wiping out my endless tears

You are the one that will save me from the big fall at the end
You are the one my dearest friend
To all the friends I have never met ....

Don't believe sweet talkers
They are just a deception
A fairytale, but never a dream come true

Don't believe a broken heart
They are too weak
To see the truth and let themselves dream

Don't believe a non-believer
They have already failed
To have a dream

Never believe a sweet talker with broken heart who doesn't believe in dreams

But never ever give up on your dreams
Cause dreams they should never get lost

Oh, the Desire the inner fire
that makes us go much higher
that makes us go much deeper
she is our own soul's keeper

Oh, the Desire the great fire
has the strength to inspire
to move the walls ahead
and cleans up all the dread

Oh, the Desire the inner fire
the smooth body and admire
the soft sweeps and the hand grips
The tension and the pressure high

Oh, I don't ever want to die!

Oh, the Desire the great fire
my one and only attire
that is all that I require
that is what I desire

Illussion is what you are
An imagination
A fairy tale
A never ending story

You messed with my mind
melted my thoughts
raised my heartbeat and
killed my sanity

Illusion is what you are
and illusion is what I feel
when I am around you
though the pain is real

Be a better (wo)man
than the one
that stepped onto my heart
and crashed it

Standing before Love
We have to be barefoot and naked
We have to be honest and open
And  not be afraid of the pain
It will come anyway and it will cut us deep
But we will feel more present
And see the world as it is

So do not tell me I shouldn't love
Do not tell me I shouldn't fly
Do not tell me I shouldn't hear the music
The angels sing and
See them dance in the starry sky
And do not tell me I should't be true
I was born to love and so were you

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...

There was One
and then were Two
waited Three to be free
never came
what a shame

They put aside and abide
what was left on the ride
It took long just ahead
never noticed they were dead

What is One without a Two?
What can One even do?
Does a Three have a chance?
Or was this only
dream romance?

In the middle of the night
Night night 
A rainbow
In the absence of the light
Light light 
The moon

In the spirit of the past
Past past
A story
Among the things that are fast
Fast fast

It was funny how it came
Came came
Alive
The echo in my heart
Heart heart
That night

In the darkness I could see
See see
A reflection of the other Me

A bag of dreams
And a shot of freedom
Is all we really need
Instead of that
We have a bag
Full of shiny things

And we fight each day
For an unknown reason
The demons of our past
There is no break
Nor a time for rest
We fight until the last

As the days go by
And the autumn comes
It seems though
our lives have passed us by
We try to empty
The bag of greed
And fill it with our dreams

It’s not that easy
As one could tell
The bag is bigger than we are
The empty thing
Will never come
If we don’t know
Who we are

So we take some time
To make some peace
With the past and present too
To find a way to the
Worthy things
And make our dreams come true

A bag of dreams
And a shot of freedom
Is all we really need
To mend our wounds
And fill our days
With life without greed

Who are you and what are you up to?
The devil, The devil, The devil
Who are you and what is your plan?
The devil,The devil, The devil

I cannot tell if you are a con man or just a lost soul
I cannot tell this just yet oh, be the real and not the threat
I cannot hear my voice within, it got scared and faded away
I cannot hear your heart beat too, am I dead or is it you?

I cannot see if you are an illusion or just fake
I cannot see, I must be blind or the one that is left behind
I cannot tell what I have told, I cannot hear what I have heard
I cannot see what I have seen, I cannot be what I have been

Oh, it's just as I have foreseen!
The devil, The devil, The devil
Who are you and how did you find me?
The devil, The devil, I am facing the devil

Stop! You had enough of my soul
Now it's my turn to take the control
Now it's my turn to hold you in prison
I just killed the devil, the devil, the devil
but I had a **** good reason

They’ll make you kneel
They’ll make you fly
They’ll make you reach the starry skies
Oh his eyes his honest eyes

His lips oh his lips
The softest touch
The finest kiss
They’ll make you dream of endless bliss
Oh his lips his sweetest lips

His voice oh his voice
Making thunders
Causing storms
It will leave your heart without a choice
Oh his voice his tender voice

I let my dreams take me to him

I love you said the moon
love you as you are
I love you said the earth
love you for who you are

I adore you said the moon
You make my soul dance around
I adore you said the earth
You embrace me when the sun goes down

I want to kiss you said the moon
kiss your mountains, oceans too
I want to kiss you said the earth
kiss you nights kiss you days
want to kiss you in amaze

I heard the moon only now
Heard her cry her avow
I heard earth’s gentle whisper too
Behind a brow, a distant brow

It's forbidden, but it’s worth
Oh I love to see how the moon kisses the earth

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

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

The fullest of the moons it’s not enough
to lose this feeling to lose the rough
The shiniest of the suns might do the work
to put us out of misery out of lurk

Hiding or seeking it’s all the same
when running trough life without a shame
On the darkest of nights at the eternal flame
Who is the guilty? Who is to blame?

I once had a dream of my future life
Ready to bloom, ready to thrive
I opened my eyes deep in the night
The game was over and so was the fight

I closed my eyes hoping to see
to see my future and who I want to be
It wasn’t so clear as I would have hoped
I felt insane and little provoked

The deception is real as is this moon
capturing the light with it’s own harpoon
The truth does hurt when you say it loud
But brings you sanity, makes you so proud

So why do we hide from ourselves?
Why do we stash behind the shelves?
It is so easy to see the light
Even of the moon in the darkest of nights

And the language of love isn’t so hard
When you speak with your eyes at the lead of your heart
Even your lips will play along
Making the music of your favourite song

I think you are 
one of the few good things 
I have at this moment
Not that you are mine
Nor that I am yours
But it's just us 
Here and there
Silently talking 
To one others souls 
Or to the void
For that matter

I wish I was as good 
As You give me credit for
Or as bad as I am used to
But I am not
This is me being myself
For no other reason than 
To impress me and not you
Funny thing 
This soul of mine
I cannot get enough of her

My dearest child

My everlasting joy
My eternal blessing
My strongest pillar and
My endless beauty
Fire sparked
deep within
when I saw you first
from begin

Your gentle look
My dearest child
Your tender touch
My shiny star
Every time I hear
your name
my heart
starts beating fast
untamed

When I see
your dearest face
When I touch
your softest hand
The bad thoughts
die in instant
as does my pain
so persistent

With the honest smile
you give to me
From the doors of hell
you fetch me back
My dearest child
My one and only
For you
there is nothing that
your mother cannot do

When I kiss you my dearest one
Close your eyes and dream my child
‘till the rebirth of the morning skies
‘till you see that the sun has smiled
So close your eyes and dream my child
Your mother’s here to tame the wild
inspired by the experiences of the woman in my family as well as my friends, who already became mothers, but
...
I will get a star one day
and will cherish all the way
her first steps and her smiles
her endless whats and whys
I will do that 'till I die
'till i say my last goodbye
'till my last tear drops
and my tender heart stops

His eyes never lie
At least they try
They don’t disguise
and never cry

They are the door
to his fragile soul
Like a secret passage
just a tiny hole

His soul  twinkles
coup de main
Like a sprinkle
not the rain

It is gentle
and it is frail
Like the wind
with no trail

They raise me up

They make me dream
and wish for some more

I met a man with eyes so lonely
I felt his pain I felt it strongly
I gave my hand to help him out
to find a way out of the doubt

His pain was real
not some reflection
His cure was love
and true affection

But how do you tell
a man with life like hell
that he needs true love
to break the spell

Did he ache or was it me?
What did I miss and did not see?
I thought a lot through and through
and tried to change my point of view

But it was clear there was no mistake
it was time to get awake
I gave my hand to help him out
at the end of the day was the other way around

I met a man with eyes so lonely
He felt my pain He felt it strongly

Hey John
You say that’s not your name
I don’t mind
It’s your choice
But is this the only thing you hide
  
Hey John
I like your soul
At least the part I see
But eyes can cheat
Learned that the hard way
Hope this time to be right
At least let’s pretend for the night

The book of pain
Will hold me not
For true love
We should never stop
In the rain or snow
During day or night
For true love
We should find a way

Hey John
Take my hand
let us fly
Let's pretend

All the colours of the rainbow
make the white
When mixing red yellow and blue
you get the colour of the night
But what comes in between
the yellow and green?
What does it take and how do you make
a bright black or a dark white?
How do you make the colour of the light?
Is it real or is it just us
that don't want to believe
and don't want to discuss
the brightness of the colour black
what is it that holds us back?
Is it a mirage or a matter of fact?
Do we need a law or some special act
to see the darkness of the white
in the light of our sight?
Why does a child have the power to see
the brightness of the darkest one
and the darkness of the brightest sun?
I love these honest eyes
I love their sincere surprise
They are the ones
that make me believe
in the magic of love
with my heart on the sleeve

Ghosts can get into your body and soul
But they cannot touch you

You are not a ghost

How come I could feel you inside of my mind?

You love all her flows
Her crazy thoughts
Her loud laughter
To your stupid words
And her softest touch
Just melts you down
Her tender lips
Make your soul strip
Before her honest heart
That just cannot wait to start
Dancing in the rain
Whenever it’s in pain
But she could never sing
Nor she could ever bring
More than just what she is
A simple girl that knows to fly
So don’t get me wrong
But if you don’t love all her flaws
It's time to let it go
That is no where you belong

In a corner of a round room
Since the rebirth of the silver moon, I sit
Waiting for a righteous trial
Like a fallen soldier in denial

Hoping like a scared kitten
They’d be kind with their decision
They’d be human and not just men
As I was, when shooting at them

But how kind were my bullets
To the people who’d never done me wrong
Even those inside my gun
Waiting to be fired, one by one

In their eyes I am looking at
Seeking for forgiveness
Hoping for a teardrop
That will make my suffer stop

I call myself a man,
A human
I call myself names
Where I should be a no-name, a forgotten letter

How much a life is worth
On this sinful blackened earth
From our death and back to birth
How much a life is worth

How would you know
If you stay behind your shadow
As children do when they meet a stranger
How would you know
If you close your eyes to the beauties
This world has to offer
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
If you close your heart
And just wait to be dead
How would you know
If you just stand in one place
And miss the crossroads life has to offer
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
The colors of the sky
When the day is born
How would you know
If the scent of spring
Can make you smile
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
How love is supposed to feel
If you live your life
Hidden behind a shield
How would you know
If you never try

I am falling
Like the leaf
Of an unborn tree
That has yet
To bloom
Like the drop of rain
Inside the sea
That has yet
To climb its way
I am falling
Like the cup of tea
That hasn't made it
To the kettle
Like that time
When I broke my heel
I am falling into you

I am in jail in my own skin
Locked up inside, deep within

I am lonely and I am lost
Feeling like a strolling ghost

Flying around with no aim
Like a missing soul without a name

I am in jail in my own body
It’s not mine it’s too gaudy

Going around and around
Before getting drowned

Going up and away
‘till the end of the day

I am in jail in my own mind
Paying debts being fined

For being afraid of being me
For having eyes which could see

The smallest spark to make a change
To get far away out of the range

I am in jail in my self-esteem
I could cry, I could scream

I’m in jail in your careless heart
Making me fall apart

I am in jail with a blissful dream
Trying each day to get through the steam

I am in jail but I have an answer
To **** this feeling, prevent the cancer

I am in jail but I have a solution
I am starting today a new revolution

I am what I am
I am a woman not a man
I am a cloud and dreamer
I have a mouth and a mind
I have eyes that aren't blind
To the worries that you hide
And the smile of your pride
I have ears for your tears
And a shoulder for your head
Whenever you are sad
I have feet that will dance
When they see a chance
And a puddle on the way
Although the rain is long gone
But I always will be strong
When a friend is in need
And a lost soul needs a light
Through the starless night
So if you ever see
A woman on a tree
Or a smiling head
Hanging out of the window
A dancing heart
Riding on a bike
Or a pair of crazy feet
That do what they like
If you ever see
Somebody like me
Tell them they are not the only one
Tell them they are not the crazy one
Tell them to be true in whatever they do

Cause I am what I am
And don't give a ****
