KALEIDOSCOPE

It's late and I wanted to sleep
but here I am staring at the empty cieling
thinking where my time has gone...
I dreamt long
oh yes I have always wanted to be
one of those perfect shapes inside the kaleidoscope
as beutyful as enigmatic.
One of those circles and squares,
or those stars and flowers
or those black shadows with brilliant highlights.
But most of all
I just wanted to be something
so radiant and perfect.
But I am human,
and I wonder about the life and the death.
Time don't fear the Reaper
nor the sun, either the moon
Why I just can't be like they are?
Romeo and Juliet are toghether in eternity
and are eternally alive in the infinite.
Consuming their tragedy
they have redifined the happines
sealed a silent everlating pact.
I am still staring at the empty cieling
and I am going to chase my ghost tonight
and when he will come
so proud and beautyful
I am going to ask him something
that will last forever.

THE LAST HOPE

When you are giving up

and all your dreams will die

feel me,

In the pain and in the fear,

I will be the last hope of your heart,

the shining star

you sight every night

whispering your wishes

before closing yur eyes.

I will be the sweet poison

the obsession,

the last flash in your mind

the one who will dry your tears

after you have cried

because

I am the little light

that still burns in you, deep inside.
