This rain
won't wash the pain away
or give me words to say
but I keep on walking anyway

you came
took my heart for play
but did not come to stay
only here to make me pay

the strain
has made me lose my way
haunts me every day
colors all the world in grey

please explain
how nothingness holds sway
why life came to such disarray
just how the blues I can allay

this rain
won't wash the pain away
but I might find a sunlight ray
maybe, I'll keep on walking anyway
The very first day we met
     is a boomerang on my mind,
and every time I'm drawn to your pictures
     I remember your angelic face
          which I let myself be enraptured.

We are captured
     by the unexpected love story,
     by the unexpected happiness,
     by the unexpected smiles,
     by the unexpected moments,
     by the unexpected time.

(You make me love you now and then,
your presence means Heaven,
And if I will have to choose one
     from thousands of women,
I'll swear to God to have you again).

We are sharing this valley of love,
whence, I hope us to stay forever
     (continue reigning my heart).
Thank you for filling up the gaps of my fingers;
     if you will be drifted away,
          I'll be drowned from that ocean of tears.

Your sweet little eyes,
     (looking forward for more  memories)
your wide open arms,
     (accepting the way I used to be)
and your red rosy lips
     (touching my heartfelt gratitude).

I found it awkward for these affections to rely,
     but believe me,
          loving you is one of the perfect moments
               in my life.

I saw the moon in February
it took me back to that
empty place
I had found in myself
Lapetus was holding my heart
tugging me further
and further
out
into the black,
into the arms of Jove
destiny was waiting for me there
or so I was told
my Valentine whispered star dust
something bright, airy
nothing I would ever want
that empty place was calling me again
in the back of my throat
an ember glowed,
Shining Father
I craved anything that might
steal away this hollow shell
what some named mortality
but there at my core,
my own Sun
my glossy solar system
I could still feel a dull pulse
lunar hands enveloping my heart
tugging me further
and further
out
into the fields of Capitoline Hill,
into the beak of a great marble Eagle
he was waiting for me there
or so I was told
You asked me a question,
I kept silent for seconds,
Thinking what to answer,
My ears rang again.

My heart beat faster,
You asked this question before,
And my answer was a lie,
Yes, I lied.

Your voice, it's calm but cold,
Wishing to hear the truth that's untold.

My tears, they're about to burst,
When you made me feel like
you wanna be quenched from thirst,
Thirst from the truth and of the reasons untold,
With this you told me you'll be consoled.

I lie,
I lied
and still I have to lie.
For I know, the truth will have your heart die.
But the thing is I don't remember
What I answered you the last time.

If I'll keep silent for a very long time,
I know you'll be wondering why.
But, if I'll speak, what if
I'll tell you stuffs that won't coincide
To the the reasons I told you
from the last time?

I was almost dead,
I'm dead and
I will be dead,
If truth would be uttered out of my mouth,
'cause I know you can't bare what you'll hear,
And would decide to leave me just as I fear.



I spoke, and again, I lied.

Lost some sleep to
Explicability.
Maybe today, you're
one step ahead of me.

And tomorrow, this is
what it still would be.

But I promise you one day,
One day with my own two feet,
Through my determination and practices,
I'll go far better than you.


And this time, you'll be the one
chasing me.
Darkness and death
Cannot cast their pall
Yonder this fallen earth
Over life and light at all.
