DARK

It feels that everything, just turn in the other way

Hopes left the place to what I feared most

my heart once fulfilled with love

now bitterly turned to stone.

Signs and synchronicity I cursed

there was a time I  had believed in them

and to heartache is where they had led.

My laughter turned into a grin

my dreams slowly died.

Lights faded away

the darkest hour of the soul was roaring

facing my darkest day.

Ice cold truth, pierced my heart and eyes

the veil fell down

and every joyful memory

became a pain inside.

I looked at you, from within the mirror

and

what the mirror was reflecting 

was a stranger I wished I had never known

or loved.

THE DEATH OF A PHOENYX

 It's a bitter taste what you gave me

Too many wounds, taste of rust in my mouth.

Too many holes have borne my heart

Too much damage and now,

It hurts every time I breathe.

I took the step with my eyes shut

Like The Fool

And fell down

laughing at the empty space.

I can do nothing now to change it

I shattered myself open

Just to read each of my scars.

There are million ways to die

Mine was a twisted frame

As known as love.

My broken wings, I carry fiercely

They will rise me every time

Once you born Phoenix,

You die Phoenix

reborn from the ashes 

to live as stardust.

IMAGINE ME, IMAGINE YOU

A love that is lost 

leave the place from another to be found

There are tears

There are fears

There is longing

There is the memory

There is struggle and again fear.

Do you want to stay in this prison forever

locked in this fortress you've build around yourself,

imprisoned?

Self destruction I must say, this too is a choice.

Life is just but a dream within a dream 

 running in fast forward mode, 

out of our hands in a blink of an eye.

Now, stop and...

imagine me, imagine you

fractions of the eternity.

Imagine you, imagine me

leaves carried around by the wind.

Imagine me, imagine us

butterflies flying from flower to flower

Imagine us...

Landing in the most beautiful one, to die.

TELL ME...

I'm staring in the void

I can't see clear but I feel

I feel you

I don't know why am I crying

I hold on you, at what I believe of us

but I can't hear your voice anymore, 

I hear nothing from you, to break this heavy silence

and most of the nights I wake up crying

wondering why, what has happened to us?

I know it wasn't just me the one who felt the pull

For the last two years, you've drifted away from me

blocked somewhere where I cannot reach you the way I used to.

I'm so confused, disenchanted.

Have you left the path? 

What's the reason?

Tell me why should I still believe.

STILL WATERS ARE DEEP

I feel the sacred togetherness

but I see estrangement

and everything looks still.

In a world of illusion 

you have to believe what you feel

and I feel us.

Flow my child flow a voice echoing

I flew and time went by 

and deeper into the oblivion I went.

Believe my child, believe, a voice whispered

still waters run deep.
