stale caramel
squashed
pressed
as thin as it gets
one with the vinyl
old caramel
to eat
no matter how hard I try
It doesn't peel off
eventually,
I threw the whole thing
in the bin
like a useless word
that an unknown poet
never knew.

be careful

grapes
not in the shape
but in the TASTE

person
not in the appearance
but in the SORROW.

Look around this world
do not try to see
what you don't see
they are not there

Look around this world
do not try to have
what you do not have
they are not there

Look around this world
what you do not see
do not try to see
they are not here

Look around the world
what you do not have
do not try to have
they are not here

If you don't do so
you are wasting time
you are killing time

I am sure
you don't need them always
experiment with it.

Hanging from a rotten rope
i look for you
on the white sandy beach
a shining grain of sand
i seek you

You are
in my ocean
the only one ship
emergency exit

I am in this world
to dream
of happiness
as a life prisoner.

wake up
now the morning has come
surrendered to something
The Day Begins
streets where love's lamps were broken
It is still night
softer and softer
violence and intrigue
that we can hide and avoid better and better
through the war or election
to buy their own future
to sell our pasts
standing outside the door
we paint in bright colours
we buy with money that anyone can sell
forgetting the past
to get love
and trying to decorate love
they are foolish
we are foolish, too
but smart and cruel
to start our own darkening sunlight
to start their own light day.
more urgent and
more precious
more joyful things will wait
with a sun in the eyes
with earphone in the ears
footsteps will enjoy the closeness of the downfall
waving to the train that take us there
in their dreams
of the house
where love is calling.

than unchanging stubbornness
sacrifice that transforming is better
more beautiful.

one of nights
is deepening
as before
as go deeper
night loses its own color
after all,
night ends with a night of love
failing to keep promise
we leave each other
night says goodbye
to us.
