Blue memoirs fall from her sky eyes
 As blue memoire fall from her eyes
 right down where I slept, I picked it up.

Let the horses keep their power
Neuer power is now the toast of all

It was Tiger that first wore the crown
But Lion roared, bore his fangs
And bristled...

I played as a Goalkeeper
trained to make the save
push the ball away 
instinctively go again,
knocked down get up,

not pass kick or head,
get hit take it...

I'm misunderstood 
In my own family 
I'm iron, they think I'm wood

I'm diamond 
They think...

Football fever
World Cup Brazil;
Too many overnights breached


Imagine a world
Glued to football mania;
Morning red eyes syndrome


Now you've seen it all

Even my wife's up
Watching the final match;
TV and sleepy eyes


If only...

On the last ten minutes of the match my boredom threshold 
Is low and to sit there watching the game for ninety minutes, really!

Why I need a man when I am too much in a lady-like skin ?
 
There are hundreds of reasons, there must be. 
The first reason is perhaps loneliness.  
Over-pouring. Overflowing. 
Fictitious characters of...

The soccer ball thy shall kick to that place
where there is a net hung on the crossbar.
Thy shall play hard with my power and pace.
I take that free kick and score from afar.

Forwards and midfields...

in the middle of the universe, I stand
fearless goalkeeper, and soccer is the 
heavens, the brew in which we play,

this open turf, these twenty two players
and the thirty thousand serenading us, like 
obedient Godless angels;...

goalkeeper

The goalkeeper stands tall between goal posts that
some times seem far away, but he is the hero
the man they have to get past to score.
I was once a goalkeeper, they put me there mainly
because no...
