Infinite Space

Dear infinite space, I watch as darkness blossoms and obscures the light,
Glowing moon, diamond stars are the jewels that dress the night,
Thus crowning abyss with immerse delight.

I walk alone,  yet I am not,
Heaven, my heart has endlessly sought,
A dose of happiness I believed i bought,
Yet a dose of reality is what I got.

I cry in silence, yet i m still heard,
From poisoned truth i was not spared,
As life, my strength challenged and dared.

I m just a human with a deadline,
My sins in bold scripture hit the headline,
As my dna keeps procreating through my bloodline.

My naked body dominates the catwalk,
Pulsating desires my mind and thoughts stalk,
Inscribing my life with a white chalk,
To innocence i succumb and talk.

So i seek in you dear infinite space,
Superior in your wisdom, glazed in grace,
Of your existence never leaving a trace,
To one day reveal and show your face.

Mother

so much years have gone by since you passed away,

so young...alone...i was left...in darkness to sway.

mother..you gave me life, precious to most,

but a dream for the ones that death their body does host.

 

i was fourteen when your weak heart stopped beating,

an answer to my grief i kept day after day seeking.

why? three letters that in my flesh cut so deep,

in shadows, at night my anger used to creep.

 

would i have hated you yesterday? today? tomorrow?

would i have still poisoned my heart with anguish and sorrow?

would i have abused of alcohol? and venom smoked?

would i have fed on drugs and on ignorance chocked?

 

at night i still feel your touch seeking love on my flesh,

caressing my hands, damned by touching so much trash,

yes mother, time has passed, yet who i am i still don t know.

a hole in my heart..that with each second it keeps to grow.

 

hush..i hear a voice,

pulsating is this noise,

demanding suffocating peace,

sniffing to find glorified release.

 

mother...would you have loved me yesterday? today? tomorrow?

tears of blood..would you have cried in confiscated sorrow?

as you see your daughter manipulated by lines, dirty yet virgin white?

would you have held my hand, would you this battle with me fight?

 

my head on your chest,

i let the demon within me rest,

thus my fading morality you test,

wanting for me what is pure and best.

 

i don t deserve your love...i bath in mud and shame,

i crucified god, avenged his name,

played dirty all the entire game.

i m the wild beast that no one can ever tame.

 

i feed on hate..

behind hell s gate,

with a planned fate,

innocent...to many i am a bait.

 

a mask..that each day i wear,

as humiliation i secretly bare,

hate, love, what is really peace?

with death i play and bluntly tease.

 

no name...only eternal shame,

winning? loosing a blooded game,

excuses that are so lame,

cascading waves of infinite blame.

Ocean of Love

Free my spirit, my soul, in light to linger in peace,

Where finally my immortal soul will find release,

That my heart has so much sought

That my mind for it fiercely fought.

 

Ever since that day I saw you, I knew,

The soothing hail was the first clue

My beating heart welcoming the rush

As the sobbing ceased with a glorified hush.

 

The tears no longer tasted sour,

Blood drained out of a lifeless flower,

Stairs that led to a magical tower.

 

Notes of music, turning poison into honey,

Happiness that one can t buy with money.

That does not make you look back,

Walking step by step to the heavenly track.

 

Holding hands, our fingers twitching together,

Wanting badly this love to last forever

I will love you till my heart will stop beating

The echo of your voice I ll never stop seeking.

 

You have marked my heart, left a trail,

In an enchanted ocean led me to sail,

Navigating through storms, taking the lead,

Implanting in me the wisdom seed.

 

Soaking up in gold,

Memories that I ll forever hold,

My only love, my first and last,

Till my journey will last.

Fugitive

Have not we at one point from something escaped?

Collected the pieces  and our broken heart reshaped?

Our name in someone s heart with blood engraved?

And that infecting guilt from our soul away scraped?

 

We all have been there, a fugitive on the run,

Sought  the moon in the blazing sun,

Gotten drunk in stupidity for it was fun?

And in circles danced and spun?

Dared  life with a loaded gun.

 

Danced with angels, in our imagination,

Believed in the process of reincarnation,

Given up to temptation, fed on lust,

Saw glory in that magical white dust.

 

Kissed by the moonlight, swam naked,

Felt immortal and sacred,

Felt like a queen or a king,

Blinded by innocence to sing.

 

I m a fugitive...and that makes me proud,

For i have lived i say that loud,

I have many times  escaped, sought the light,

And it s life s experience   that makes me bright,

For it gives you all you need to stand up and fight

Let Her Be

The stars collide in the dark night

As lost souls for the light they fight,

I have desperately tried to seek the way,

On my bleeding knees I kneel and pray.

 

Here I am, trying to figure the reason

Lies, hate, corrupted life, opening the doors to treason,

I have long time ago condemned my life,

I have nothing to long for, to strife.

 

An obscurity that upon me feeds,

Inseminating my soul with lifeless seeds,

Last night, I woke up in a room that was not mine,

Crystal tears in the abyss of my heart did shine.

 

Another me? Who was she?

I seal my lips and let her be.
