Sleepless nights

Sleepless nights
make the days so long
I'm so tired but I try to be strong

I put on a smile
For all the people to see
But deep inside I'm crying
This is the true me

My head aches
And so does my heart
When will this pain ever...

Liar.

Liar.

If some would ask him
about his marks in each subject.
He never told right one.
Fifty one turned into ninety one.

Unfortunately he couldn't remember it
and established himself as liar.
So his evil effort became vain.
What more a...

Mountain

She did not love him.
No poem could move her.
But she would always
remember him.
His love so determined.
He waited for her every day
To tell her of his love.
Until one day
She was not there.
He never knew where she had gone.
He never...

My heart did not understand

I told my heart you were gone
But my heart did not understand
I told it to regard your closed eyes
But it said they close no more
As I cannot close
I told my heart you were gone
But it said you were sleeping
In a sublime dream
I told my...

My heart exhausts

The more you mean
The more my heart exhausts
The more I love you
The brighter a moon speaks
Even the way you jest
Gives my heart a voice
To terminate our love
Would tilt fairness itself
Violence and difficulty
Seem so far from our embrace

Travail

As our time passes by

The nights seem longer

And the days even shorter.

What are we afraid of?

That our youth may be gone,

Or our vitality withering away?

Or are we afraid of death

On which plane no man ever returns?

We seek...

Sublime. A Whole World I'm Holding.
Patrolling Souls & Such.
Touch Things 2 Turn Them 2 Gold.
Bold Maneuvers Of What's Meek.
Sleek Things, Ever Pretty.

Time Machine

I'm working on a certain machine,
because this king needs his queen,
and I know that with this device,
losing her will not happen twice,
CUZ I'm going back not ahead,
to tell her words I should've said,
like connecting to her soul,
is and...

GIVE ME A MOMENT

GIVE ME A MOMENT

Give me a moment…
…To catch my breath
Where's the time went…
My hopes bereft
Can I just wait….
Or is it too late

I'm weary, tired…
…The battle wieghs down
Where's faith inspired…
…When I'm on the ground
Here I am, I...

Majica alabanza pura y espiritual

Una realidad en un dejo de espiritualidad que me hipnotiza, alabando tu belleza celeste y rendida mente divina, que me esclavisa frente a un dejo de perfección y dulzura,

Querida diosa inmensa mente sublime,

En tu bello reino idolatrado tan...

Something Beyond the Veil

What if I told you this is all just a game
Dark forces have control of the earth
They control the governments
Pitting this group of people
Against another
Both believe they are right
Both believe they know everything there is to know
It's...

SOCIAL FINGER-PRINT


Everyone then gropes with teeth and nails; if necessary, dirty, corrupt or even bribable to the neck, so that he becomes successful and rich immediately and quickly! Never more work – no: effective profit-oriented livelihood acquisition. The rag...

Dissonance

If they had met
like two regular waves
at just the right tide,
their momentum
would have made them
roll fluently and
in a strong heading
for the most clear and calm
horizon.

They could have converged beaurifully,
but accompliced no more
