My Poem#23 Back and Forward

Back and Forward

I want to sleep a little more

With all my visions on the floor

I’m falling before me

All that I left behind

I see that young boy

Searching his mistakes

In the beginning of the path

He meets me where I start

To unfold what I couldn’t

What I know the whole time

Looking back for my future

I tell stories of what I should

My Poem#22 Cellmate

Cellmate

I'm not free anymore
In some way I'm bind to her
She breaths some of my air
She takes some of my strength

She said we are one now
One love, one blood, one temple
One lifetime for two beings
She makes me laugh for nothing

I'm not free anymore
I feel the gold chains around
Strength of steel but they're warm
Like the first night of summer

I can feel her thoughts in the air
She whispers on the spring breezes
Is this the feeling for your cellmate?
She can set me free in a place I don’t want to be

My Poem#21 Oasis

Oasis

I see white eyes in my room
All closed in my empty mind
My heart is blind by the lights
I feel her whispers in my body

She is close like a mist around me
There’s no path to her love, no path
I can't touch her, but I can feel her
Like stars in the desert blue sky

The young heart have many oasis
Many things you will see alone
Many things that you desire alone
But they all vanish with your touch

Her eyes, her hair, her arms, her body
Is like oasis to me, I can see them
But I don’t believe I can reach them
I wonder if they'll vanish with my touch

My Poem#20 They said to each other

They said to each other

She said not now
He said why
They said when so
I said you will never know
We said what we expected
but before the answers come
I saw they both drown
He said he found
She said what
They said forever
I said you had your chance to know
We said what they should know
but before the answers come
I saw they both drown
She said goodbye
He said not now
They said again
I said now you should know
We said ours hopes
but before the answers come
I saw they both drown

My Poem#19 A little beat

 A little Beat

My heart have changed a little bit
More one tiny beat in the song
A little sneak look to the north
More one word in the old book

My heart have changed a little bit
The broken mirrors shine brighter
The whispers drops more silver leaves
Warm and cold, they are readjusting

My heart have changed a little bit
Girls don't seems the same, butterflies
A little more soft, a little more sweet
I picture them with brighter colors now

My heart have changed a little bit
No, I don’t feel stronger, faster, wiser
Maybe a little number, peacefully
Heart, my heart keep moving in his pace

From beat to beat, I see strange pictures
Some stolen images, many lost photographs
Whispers echoes from each little beat
My heart is changing a bit to beat
