Last Good-Bye

This is where you opened my naked soul
The dark cold river in within the dead eyed fish
The black swans eying the lonely moon
You rise like a spear clutching a gun... my gun
The gun that burned stoned woods with the heat of my love
The gun that opened the skies and rained it with agony
Agony of a lonesome lover trying to kill the devil within him
Trying to escape the foggy grounds and blooded graves
You walked towards me with soft nude footsteps
My heart doth tumble to the sound of an angel breath
Striking my blind eyes with the sun of your golden heart
The heart that turned stony coffins to gold and black hearts to spring lullabies
You halt and search for air as your eyes turn lavish red
Your lungs feel like stone and rigid rocks but no river there to water the pain
You bend towards me and tears crash on me like hailing grenades
I shout out your name and tell you I'm here...
But I am trapped in the lonesome grounds of the dead Gods
You look at me and strike a smile then cry
You hold up the gun while saying the last good-bye:
"We once were one and now you left me
Left me alone in the dark even when you promised that you won’t
You left a broken soul that no mending can it receive 
But you are mine and we are entwined
As I'll crash in the bed of roses over your grave
And fill the earth with my blood...
The blood of your love I will spill it to the ground
The blood that will ingrain trees of love birds
The blood that will tell the dead who we are
The blood that will teach Romeo and Juliet what is love..."
… Bang... I hear the sound of death...
I hear you are lying next to me once again 
... But now forever.

Being Depressed Is My Way of Living

If it’s that easy to lose you… then go
People always leave, trust no one even yourself
I love myself for losing you
You can’t deny the fatal truth.. I don’t love you
I’ll never regret the decision to lose you
My soul won’t rest until I forget you
The longer I live the lesser my heart beats for you
You’ve decided to leave me, I’ve decided to hate you
People pretend to love you, turn your back
They wish you to disappear
In my life I trust no one, cause this life is based on lying
I never thought that I would cry when you leave
My heart was strong when you were around
But since you left it weakens by the moment
You made my world rain with sadness
What’s the meaning of friendship if eventually they’ll leave?
I live in a world full of sadness, so why should I be happy??
I’d wish to die than seeing you leaving
I’d wish to die than living like this
I wish to be hopeless, cause I suffer when I hope that you’ll come back
I’d wish to be blind than seeing you leaving 
I’d wish to be deaf than hearing you cry
I wish I had no tongue to taste the bitterness of loneliness
My middle name is misery 
My first name is hopeless
My last name is treachery
I thought it was a dream come true meeting you
But no it’s not a dream, it’s my personal hell
My blood is cold, my heart is stone 
My veins are crumpled, my soul is crushed 
My life is gone with you
I can’t eat, I can’t drink
I can’t see, I can’t hear 
I can’t talk, I can’t walk
I can’t live my miserable life
I see another girl, I feel nothing for her
Where are my feelings? They’re gone with you
I’m just like a rolling stone
You were my twilight, now darkness followed your absence
And everything is dark
I'm lost, I can’t find my way
I'm lost in this place, and this place is my life
Just save me from my misery 
Just let me fade away
My breath is taken
And my heart stopped beating
My heart is cut in splits
No wonder why its so cold
Cause your still here
I'm running out of choices 
I'm running out of clues 
There’s nothing I can do to make this go away
You are like a scar in my heart, that’s tearing me apart

Hazel Eyes

Hast the nature enwrought thou with an angel touch?
Or hast thou arisen from the heavens?
As thy eyes shine like golden stone
As thy voice hue the hoedown
The Gods pledge for thine love
My heart doth rise as thine eyes set upon mine
Thy hazel eyes enwrought my soul with perplexity of love and comfort
I could not wither staring thereon rosy cheeks
Thou hast sup my soul
And my heart wreath around thine...

Lost Humanity

Time comes and goes
People pass by and fly
We have only memories left
But we remember the sad ones
And easily forget the happy ones
We live in regrets
Saying... what if?
We live in fear
Saying... what will?
We have lost our humanity
We live in the past
Forgetting the present
As if there is only the past tense
We live in memories
Forgetting the future
As if there is no future
We love to brag about our ancestors
But what have we done now?
We all are losing ourselves
War... Drugs...
We think we are fighting for a cause
But that cause is only our greed
We think we are building the future
But we are destroying the future
We are losing our humanity 
And there is little left of it...
It is time to stop the war
And move along with peace
Nations send armies to others
Saying:"We've come to civilize you"
According to the dictionary 
Civilize is defined as conqueror
Send not armies! Send food and medical supplies!
Why do you come in the name of peace?!
If you only bring with you destruction!
What is happening to Afghanistan?
Why do you send guns instead of pills!?!
Or is the Vito more important than lives?
I am not from Europe, I am not from America
and I am NOT from the Middle East...
I do not know such things...
I am from Earth, regard of my nation
Nations are only names, we are all one
We are connected; we live on the same planet!
Why does one want to kill his brother?
IS IT FUN? WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE TRY IT?
I do not want to lose my humanity
Knowing that little is left in this world
This world can yet be fixed...
And it starts with two words: Love and equality
And it starts with one road: kill the Vito
Cause if it was a man, I would've killed it for the best
You think Hitler is gone?! Well now there is a stronger one
Look at Jerusalem! Hitler wouldn't dare do such things!
Why do we keep looking at the past?!
Forgetting what now is happening!
If the same ones who were massacred by Hitler
Are the same ones doing worse to Arabs?!
Why do we spend billions on weapons?
Instead of spending them on science?
Or at least save other nations from starvation
Why are we better than the Africans?
We have the same God! Or is it because of their color?
I just wish to ask one question to every human being...
WHAT WILL YOU SAY WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE GOD?

--------------------------

A tribute to all nations and hope all be safe :)

Moon For Dinner

The night falls 
and me and a friend are having a walk
He looks up the sky and says stare up high
the moon looks ugly
I look at it and think, then say:
Someone ate the moon
It seems so tasty but it makes you so wasty
It look so cool but it makes you a fool
As we dazzled up high we laughed with a cry
A car comes by and we say good-bye
But thank you God cause we didn't die
I farted, he peed
He cried, I screamed!!
The man comes out, he wants to knock us out
While he was swaying he was saying:
What's this smell? The floor is so wet
Why do you cry? As if your momma died
We stand up saying as if we were playing:
Shut up punk! Your momma's so fat!
The cops come down asking what was down
I ate the moon, I say like a fool
He looked up strait and fell with a praise
I felt like a God but I'm just a mod
I go to the guy tell him he will die
He punched me high making me fly
My friend was a freak, he gave a big shriek
Everyone left and I was left
My friend gazed as he hold me strait
And told me that I have to write that
I said okay and you're so gay.

The Dream

Hands held high like a bed of roses.
Red all around like a sea of blood.
You scream for me with shock in pain.
The sound that froze me and made me stare.
I turn my face to see you in a white dress,
like a lonely angel in the demons world.
Swiftly I come and stand by your side,
fearing the sight behind my eyes.

I carry you with my burned rusted hands
but the pain is little compared to the love that I have,
running from the shadows, we meet the naked red hands.
The hands that try to pull us to the shadows
but I am strong and shall not wither.
I clasp the angel of my broken soul between my hands,
the white twilight of the lost space of my heart.
I will fight for you and never back down.

I stumble to my knees and hit the shredded knives,
that bloodied the white dress of my only love,
but scream I do not for I am the hero of the hazel eyes.
The eyes that stare at me with shock and fear.
The devil within me struck out and hit life,
making me scream with my eyes filled with black
and all was silent.

A door appears in front of a mystic light and I
open it with my bleeding knee.
Blinded I am and my eyes burn like fire.
I was laying with her by my side.
Her scent killed the numbness that filled my mind
and all was gone when the dream was done.

Nostalgia

I look upon this weary ground as my bare foot touches the holy soil why is this? We no longer bound we love ourselves… and we became foils some fight for money, some fight for glory but I will always fight for memento mori

A Thousand Lives

A thousand lives I've lived to be here with you
A hundred lives I've died to see you
and now as I am closer (I am closer)
I feel restless of watching you
and now as I'm deeper
I feel warmer to be with you

You, break my fall
every time I feel alone
yeah you, hold me closer
every time I feel cold

And now I can't escape the memories of you
and now I can't forget the times I spent without you

A thousand lives I've lived to be here with you
A hundred lives I've died to see you
and now as I am closer (I am closer)
I feel restless of watching you
and now as I'm deeper
I feel warmer to be with you

I never thought that I would be in love
I never thought that I would need you no
I never thought that I would die for you
I never thought that I would want you

You, break my fall
every time I feel alone
yeah you, hold me closer
every time I feel cold

Veiled Feelings

You do not know how I feel, 
                                                       cause I seem what I not seem…

I see your smile I know what I see,
                                                       I see an angel staring at me…

You do not know how I feel,
                                                       cause what I feel is deep in me…

I feel now lonely, but now I see,
                                                       that you and I are meant to be…

This may be and may not be,
                                                       that you and I will be free…

I will always wait until you see, 
                                                       the way I feel when you are next to me...

You cannot see what I can see,
                                                       that you and I are meant to be…

You and me deep in the sea,
                                                       sea of love, sea of deem…

And forever we will be,
                                                       together until the rest of me…

Life

Roll, run, spin and stop!
Life is a crazy bump
I roll the dice I get a two
I look down and say, this is poor
two steps forward, three steps back
I jump to a pool I land in a pit
What the hell! I yell like a bell
Please God give me some luck!
Then here it is I get a hundred bucks!
I look at them full with greed
I beg, I need more please!

Next day comes up and there you go
I get more money and to me they flow
I reach top ten
richest men
But I can't stop from wanting more!
I build a 6 six stars hotel, 
I need more gold!

I get married to this fairy
I tell my friend, his name is Larry
This is it, this is my time!
He looks at me, all come and all will fly
I look at him as if he was crazy 
And out the door straight to my home

I pass by a barefooted guy
I look at him and see myself
Ten years back when time was old
He gave me a gun and pressed the trigger
And all his world turned into black
The police came and I felt safe
I looked at the gun and laughed in shock
I saw my world saying good-bye!

Now here I am behind the bars
I hereby am sentenced to spend
another more decade in the dark
with no money with no pride
My so-called wife took a flight
and landed somewhere in the night!
With all my money with all my luck
I now sit and keep on saying
Roll, run, spin and stop!
Life is a Monopoly
