GRABBING COURAGE


Now I should be a little afraid if I show courage and measure myself once. I stand on two tongues of scales; how much do my actual sins show? And was I the only one who made a mistake?! Among traitors and accomplices, who else could have entered...

Needless To Title This

It had been my mother.
Who taught me how to respect others.
Regardless of their predicament.
And if I didn't,
She applied swift discipline.

My father's mother and father's father too.
Were there to teach,
Everything else I needed to know.

This God Is A Liar

There has to be a place better then this, together
We are all suffering here, forever
My God could not let this evil exist, never
He is a brainiac, clever
Straight soldier, warrior
Redemption, closure
Justice, my good luck clover
A pure man...

Realidad fría y adictiva

Esa serenidad tan apasionada.

Muy fria e irreal en la que nos sumergimos para amar esa realidad pasada y futura en un destino lindo y amistoso que nos sumerge en nuestra pacion por estar juntos,


Mirándonos fija y tan adictiva mente sin...

Still

The sun burns brightest yellow
And nature is the sweetest mellow,
Green in the meadow, blue in the sky,
Chill is still in the bones of mine.

The waters of the ocean are calm,
My eyes still upon it drawn
Over the horizon so distant,
In my...

The Ocean of Tears

She felt the moisture at her feet,
But hope is sometimes incomplete.
She did not truly notice it,
As water slowly filled the "pit".

Her lonely tears had risen too,
Above each worn-out leather shoe.
But still, she didn't notice all
Collected...

Headlights

A picture in real life.
You seem to know my love well.
Eternally golden.
Like a solitary bird in the clouds
Or the light on the waves.
Daisies still live on your wrist.
My lost lily on the grass
Singing the colours onto trees.
Your...

Conspicuous

Obvious.
And too conspicuous to go ignored.
Yet remains as if,
Where it is does not exist.
Gone.
Forevermore.

Nor is there anywhere,
Evidence and prove of it.
Needing further to explore.
Since a future to deny it,
Has been invited inside...

Now

It wasn’t supposed to be this way,
In the now of life,
It was supposed to be a different kind of day,
A time without heart wrenching strife,
It wasn’t supposed to be this way,
Trying to rid myself of shed tears, wanting to linger,
I look...

Apostate Doom

Behold, the Lord comes with thousands,
Of holy ones to pass judgment;
As they come with righteous demands,
To repent at your arraignment.

To execute judgment and convict,
Of all of your ungodly deeds;
For ungodly ways to inflict,
On another...

The Course

The Polish are not social creatures
Too ornery.
If you want happiness, go to England.
I really should lighten up
but too many real trophies to collect.
My watch … right on...

Curtain Call

Sitting here thinking
about the past
regret for time mislaid

What’s done is gone
all swan’s in song
— tomorrow’s yesterday
