I want to lose myself
in desert, in jungle,
lost in your thought
repeating your name
like an old woman
recites her rosary
until I start to lisp
and my tongue becomes tired

I want to cry
in your longing
until my throat starts to ache
and stops making sound.

Oh, my beloved,
I have never seen
such a grace
that your face holds.
Don't test me more
let us merge and be one
and become careless
about this trembling empire
called the world.

Just wanted to get it off my chest.

love is
to set yourself on fire
and not care

love is
to turn to ashes
and rise again

love is
to grow wings
while crawling

love is
to write on wind
with kisses

love is indescribable
yet books are
filled with it

Love is indescribable

in this drunken madness
called "the world"
let's stop for a while
look into mirror
reflect upon ourselves
and ask the same old questions

what does all of this supposed to mean?
what is purpose of all this?
where did I come from?
where am I headed?

Existential crisis

as we neared
to feel
the spark again

as we neared
to have
the touch again

as we neared
to witness
the ecstasy

as we neared
to set
ourselves free

we came to know
it won't be found again
what's once lost

Can't have it back once lost

Dear future wife
have you lost your mind?
cause if you have lost it
I have lost it too.

In that case
there is no trouble
don’t you worry
we’ll make a great couple

but if you are sane
and still want to be mine
then my love you are
losing your mind.

taking things on a lighter note.

The sound of that laughter
still echoes in my empty life even after
it’s been so long that it has been gone
don’t cry my poor heart
instead be brave and strong
you are the only thing I've left,
you are the only one I’ve got.

Stay Strong People.

Have you ever been so alone
that even loneliness is not there?
all the world becomes grey
and not seem to care
I’ve been in such a state
for a long time now
doesn’t matter anymore,
life goes on anyhow.

no matter what happens life goes on.
