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
