Hugo A Sep 2012
I want to run wild
Without saddles on my back
Galloping alone but surrounded
By rumbling on the ground
Along plains of life and death
Conquering hurdles lying still
Rocks and pebbles thrown my way
In this land foreign to all
My mane floating free
As I jump over rivers
Then up paths curled on mountains
No rider could withstand
I stand tall my neck stretched high
As I look from atop this hill
Before I run once more
Full speed down narrow roads
Headed toward the desert
Where new hurdles lie ahead
Dry dunes and oasis
Clear skies, burning sun
I look back and see no heard
No steps behind me, none ahead
This world is mine and in this desert
I will build my castle
And draw my roads
No more challenges
But me alone

In the blink of an eye
A whole life can change
I live as though
I earned it somehow
It is mine
I am in control
But just one eyelid
Decides every moment
Just one blink
And life can start
Just one blink
And we miss an eclipse
Of candles burnt out
A heartbeat
A light touched
The sudden excitement
Of friendship reborn
I final breath and goodbye
A smile or a nod
A fall or a jump
The end or the beggining
Just one blink
And a star is born
In the sky
Of my soul
That will shine
Even after
My eyelids
Finally close

Bright reds
Yellows and blues
What a beautiful garden
As I stand at my window
I look
I smell
I smile
What joy
Why not me?
Spring all around
My glacier home
Soft rose petals
Bright tulips rise high
With tangled roots
Painting of life
On every wall
Of my room
Children play
In the distance
Their joy touches the windows
Their smiles too far
To melt this frozen cage
Tears of ice
Too distant from it all

Silent walls
Of my mind
Of this room
Weeping tears
Of my heart
Sitting here
I feel glued
To this room
In my mind
Many memories
Of our future
Voices of my soul
Roses in the mist
I see hope
You are gone
So am I
In this weekend
Of goodbye
You are past
I am future
Monday comes
I start a new

We have traveled far
Seen many cities
Our senses were amazed
Distant places
We have walked
How many mountains did we climb?
How many suns kept us warm?
How many seas did we smell?
On how many sands did we sleep?
How many moons shined our path?
I could go on with my questions
But after all is said
Only to you
Will I always return
Hugo A Sep 2012
I can imagine
A moment
Of a month
Of this year
I can see it clearly
It's coming fast
Now it's gone
Let me catch it
Hold it here
Breath this moment
Just us two
In the darkest of the nights
With diamonds up above
I will smile
You will laugh
We have caught it
Just this moment
For us two

I would love to sing
And tell you what I feel
You want to know much
But it is dark
Much too dark
Even I cannot tell
I guess there was a time
I'm sure I giggled and ran
Foolish kid
Living in today
It is sad
Is it not?
Those moments are long gone
Torn, crushed
Broken, burnt
It doesn't matter
I can't be him
I am m
I am now
I am here
Wish me luck
As I dive
It is this way
I fall
I crumble
It hurts
Let me go
Why face it?
I was fine as I was
Why forget the past
Or not think of tomorrow
Nothing exists
Not me in the end
