Shades
Being on my mind
Anytime
Apricot mist
Evergreen shade
Luminescent glasses
Have the world made
On my mind
All of the time
Silly face smirk
Amarillo sunset
Lily heals hurt
Rojo mojo kismet

For thinking in my heart
Ravens wings push down on water
Aiming with a dart
Flying fish do never falter

Cloudy shade
Protects my keep
Mind is made
Bah like sheep

Horizon view
Writing down your landscape
Sky/water blue
Turquoise powers are for your sake

Shield my eyes
Love me forever
Fearless skies
Cupid aims for never
“There are colours, then there are shades,
Then there’s shades of colours.”

Your eyes so hollow
White as snow you stare away
Your goal is to follow
But keep my eyesight at bay

Your hands are soft as clouds
Gently sliding down the lake
Open my heart to your sounds
Keeping me outside the wake

Sunlight burns a hole in the ground
You are walking, you don’t come near
Maroon backgrounds excite the nerves
Seems to me like you have no fears

How can I find you when you are so distant
Who are you if I went inside your mind
How can I find you if you don’t know who I am

Tricolour landscapes
Turn around I want to show you
Secretly seeing
Everything you didn’t see before

Well how can I find you when I have no idea who you are
Your name speaks of sorrows you so expertly hide inside
Characters of future sins are yours to aspire
Don’t you want to come and talk to me?

Dark deep lunar settings is the place where we will meet
I want you to show me sweetly exactly where to place my feet
Step jump and a warm surrounding is what we will feel
Where have you been these past years finally I can heal

Long exposure
Soft enclosure

You turn your head toward me and I look away

While you sleep
Hope you dream
Of me

Let me free
I am happy
Violently

Maybe you are meant to be in bed
With him going in your head
Your pillow is holding you up
We see the world blow up

Tight around the wrist
Thanks for not being a *****
Lovely sounds await you in your sleep
Bells ring at your dream, dream deep

My fantasy contrasts with your thoughts
I get the feeling we both feel lost
Inspires me to look outside
The moon is looking for a place to hide

That star you stare at every night
The planet you wish you could stand on
Is the same one I look upon to write
I can see your reflection

Tie the anchor to the rope of my umbilical cord
Cut me out, throw me in, and forget your pirate sword
Race to the finish without a helmet on
One moment I hold your hand, the next you’re gone

Alligators creep out of my skin
And leap out with a sinister grin
Smoking trenches of orange peel trees
Nothing you live is all what it seems

In one night, I may travel the world
See the death of a soldier
And the life of a bird

In one night, I may float on the sea
Have a cup of this delectable tea
If you think, I am unable to conquer him
Give me the sword, I will defeat the dragon

One evening can be purchased
With a well thought out plan
Steal away all the riches
Run as fast as you can

If you thought I could cure your disease
I would sleep and you would drown in front of me
Is it true, my own thoughts are reality?
Living two lives is not what it used to be

(I am who I want to be)

Haven’t I seen you before
Sitting on a branch
You were the moon and the stars
And you knew how to dance

I saw you on the snowflake
Dancing in the flowers
On the road you lay
Overcome by the showers

Haven’t I seen you before
You were in the balloon
You swam in the ocean
And you showed me the lagoon

The tornado swept me off my feet
And you were there
I saw your face so sweet
And your swirling hair

I was lost without you
And wanted to see you again
But the bright sunlight shone
And I was awake in my bed

“Haven’t I seen you before” he said
She replied, “No I don’t recall”
“ I could’ve sworn I’ve seen that face before”
She said “Only in your dreams…”

Frolicking with you on white snow
I am a little boy yeah I know
Won’t you come to my house for cocoa

Come sleighing, we’ll go together
Don’t mind the chill of the weather
We’ll get lost in the sky forever

Walking by your side I am shy
Holding of your hand we walk by
Look into my eyes i don’t know why

Starlight, the morning is waning
My love for you is fading
Reflection on white snow is jading

I’ll be waiting

— The End —
