In days and time when I can really think , I find myself sulking for new horizons There is hope ,solidarity and the tingling enigma of a patriot Then comes a place in time where the parent of enthusiasm is perpetual hope. I see reflections staring back at tangled theologies. The urgency within me , the craving [...]

A postman Defeated a million times by the days of his own life Wrapping a stinky coat around his aging shoulders Sitting in a tired, melancholic post office Is thinking One can never forget the soft touch of someone’s hands Its been decades I used to write to her Sitting at the corner of a shiny night In that hazy glitter of a pointed [...]

Someday I’ll wake up and smell the air Just to realize it’s another sunny day The light is so bright And the sky is just standing by It’s a wonder how we all live And I wonder how I’m gonna get by You tell me sister I’m by your side You tell me I’m here so open your eyes But I’m hiding, not [...]

Anger and hatred doth put my heart asunder For the binding cords of love, my heart doth hunger In a world as fragile as pieces of china Every human tied to a self-destruct timer Where people kill people for free And there’s enough spilled blood to discolor the sea The fetus is killed before its birth It reaches heaven without passing through [...]

Take shelter under my wings, Which can only fly with the power of my love… Hide your soul under my shade, Which can only be visible in my burning passion… Bury your body under my smell, Which can only be felt at the peak of my emotions… Let your screams mix with my tears, Which can only flow out at an endless [...]

Waking up in the middle of the night Thinking you might miss me just as I do… Meeting you in the way I wish for And seeing you are not for what I m here for… Talking for a while trying to see what I sense is wrong And unfortunately you’re proving me right… Feeling guilty for what I have had [...]

Until today, everything Rain, Fragrance, Wind, Sounds Everything was just imagination Every dream was only to carve a new character for my stories . That writer Surrounded [...]

I got tired of loving her For how long could I Cut my own passages and spread them under her feet For how long could I Kiss her falling tears away For how long could I Spread my smiles on her dry lips . I got tired of loving her Thinking, that now I would get my destiny, All by myself . I slid my path from [...]
