Tears of an angel

Cry, cry, cry
until you eyes get dry

Memories are dead, just passing by
seeing myself wearing a black tie

Enough is enough, don't deny
your love was a big lie

I'm leaving this world
with broken wings, unable to fly

Stop begging me, stop coming by
no more broken heart, in a dark sky

My heart is forged
don't try to pry

Good bye my love, good bye
tonight an angel will cry

The last messenger

Inside the great cave of Hera,
he was standing alone searching for words
which could unite the mankind

Taking us to the far space
searching for the brighest star
which no human could ever find

Teaching us forgiveness, peace and love
complete the path of Abraham
make all religions realigned

He felt himself alone and abandoned
in darkness of night
tired and confied

Suddenly he turned back and saw
the archangel standing behind

Ordering him to read in name of God
so loudly and opined

He was Muhammad(PBUH) a teacher of the strongest bind
between Allah and all mankind

Why?

Why do we hurt those we love most of all?
Letting them suffer alone in darkness of fall

Why do we esacpe from an empty hall?
Hidding our feelings behind a frosen wall

Why is our world getting fuzzy and small?
As a horse bitten by a snake in a stall

Why do we leave them suddenly as a squall?
With broken sails let them gradually to fall

Why can't we protect them under a shawl?
When book of destiny is written so scrawl

Why don't we go back and recall
How does life end, a corpse wrapped in a pall

Squall = sudden violent winds
Scrawl = poor hand writting
Thrall = the state of being under control of another person

Honour

To whom shall I complain?
Eyes wet and chest full of pain
Memories disappears, as ink under rain
Leaving my soul, leaving my brain

To whom shall I write again?
Friends are gone and words are vain
Prisoner of my past, inside a train
Loosing my faith, no dreams remain

How much can I resist, How long can I sustain?
Which odds are mine, and which shall I restrain?
Lost inside a painting, so pure and ingrain
My life has gone down the drain

Hands blue, decorated by a frozen chain
Increasing what my heart contain

Shadows of loneliness, and waves of pain
When treachery wins and honour get stain

Moment of madness

You are a mighty sea
with your storm and stillness
I’m a black stone, laying beneath your feet
full of sorrow and sadness

Asking for your touch, your breath
for waves of forgiveness.

You are a brighten pharos
with your silence and sacredness
brighten my path
I’m a floating boat
lost in sea of darkness

Asking for your guidance
for moments of happiness.

You are an endless ocean
full of life and manifoldness
I’m a drop of rain
full of heaviness
so lonely and fenceless

waiting for your shells to open
to became a pearl of heartiness.

You are a gusty wind
with your movement and quickness
I’m a aimless cloud
waiting to find a place

to cry my loneliness

So sad is this world if you leave me
so empty and poorness,
So misplaced is this soul in a depraved body
without you, without your nearness

What is life without you?
A moment of madness

Stolen mask

Hidden behind a stolen mask
Dark as night
Old as time
Cold as death

Seeking for right moment
For right sign
To put the mask down
To go on

Standing on a bridge, looking back to my past
Afraid to jump, beyond river of sin
Unable to move, chained by irons of lies

Hands shaken, mouth closed
Unable to put my feelings in words

Eyes not shut down, wide open
Memories all that remind

Then You came
As wind hugged my hair
You hugged my soul
Dislodging ancient enemies of regret and pain

You were there
Where no one was standing before
Beside me

In darkness of mind
Your words were candles given to a child You taught me never to run, never to hide

Suddenly the clock stopped ticking
Everything was so quite
The birds break the silence by chirping
And you grabbed that mask
Whispering words of love and trust in my mind

You broke the mask
Released me, from my pains
Now I'm free to go on
I'm free to be the ONE

War

Ruins, blood, suffering, a piece of lie
death, red, fear, a child who cry

Regret, betray, power, fight
rivers of forgiveness, so empty and dry

Beauty of silence, memories of past
flying behind me in a hopeless and dark sky

Jails, murder, rape, sham
Watching birds unable to fly

Games, toys, smile, sand
all this killing, I just wonder
Why?
