My love the gone heart beat near my pulse,
Time has knocked on us to quit the joke,
This sweet candy shop must close now,
Let’s do it in separate ways forever,
A million good memories must rest for good,
Close the doors behind you and go,
Let’s share a brief then we break the chains,
I plan not a boring meeting,
I thank you for being there in time,
We know we played with feelings,
Now our pretending is our new beast,
For so long we decorated this dead horse,
In this dirty pool we swim our last sweat,
For now lets burry this lie;
I’m tired of hide and seek play,
Just admit we can’t handle this love thing,
Let’s close the curtains baby,
Its night so early I bet,
We never thought it’s impossible to believe,
If you can’t be bold ask me how to turn off the knob,
I’m switching off this light,
In vain I struggled to make you understand,
Over and over our souls refused to connect,
And you never cried for the hopeless hours,
At times I shed a tear for us,
Away from you it’s the peak of triumph,
Awake in the night I waited your love to show,
The honor kept my eyes open,
This love disorder now must die,
Find your way to your possible world,
My sacrifice is gone,
Forever and ever,
Bye my love,
Goodbye.

THE CHAMPIONS’ LEAGUE
I chose not to sleep the night,
I camped late with the strong,
The bulls arrived in a convoy,
‘Hot chics’ were spread for the illicit game,
The giants started to weigh the options,
The bets began; I drooled from a distance,
The show off strained,
The weak started early withdrawal,
And the strong extended the rule,
The rough game crept into the darkness of night,
Fairness escaped in the dark,
The best won the best deals of flesh,
And the timid to take home the bones,
It was a night of silver potential,
I moved closer with the tears of a hyena,
The champions won the skinny ‘trophies,’
From a distance I envied the lively world,
The penniless cursed in the struggle of futility,
They called it a game in name,
But it was a shame for fame event,
Nothing could stop the rain,
I stayed on to gain in vain,
The champions rocked the horns,
The bargains missed the mark,
The champions tore their prey without a prayer,
Money elevated kings of time,
And the sound tracks brought home the pleasure,
Dirty Men getting their pay their way,
And they said the wicked league is a weekend break,
For the champions taste!

LIVE, DON’T LEAVE
My friend, I have come to see its over,
Open your eyes and see am here too,
Broken down by sorrow,
The mood that shares our pain,
Although I must sign the visitors’ book,
I agree with the priest-its good news,
Each time I knocked at your door with a smile,
Kneeling, hugging and respecting,
You turned the other way to avoid my eyes,
So I waited for you to change the hate,
But you didn’t want the truth to show,
I pleaded we change the hearts for good,
You refused to believe life was brief,
A need for endless wars,
You lost all the love their is in love,
You refused to disown the venom within,
You kissed my money but silently you cursed me.
Maybe I should have shed tears too,
But my tears would have made you strong,
They would bring the doubts alive,
Nothing is about you anymore,
This wooden box is fading you away forever,
You don’t have to hate again!
Although we fought in bitter,
I’m sad that tonight is your last,
Sometimes you made me laugh too,
I can’t pretend like your close friends,
That they have come in tears,
With dirty cash it’s a show off,
Who is driving Jeep, Jaguar, Range -Sport or Hummer?
Clad in designer suits and sunglasses,
They bring best of wine for a wild night,
Tonight they are here to party,
Side by side you were mercilessly invisible,
Stealing from the peoples’ hearts.
But in this true hour you surrender,
As your friends toss the wine,
I can’t smile,
They are here to undo your plans,
Your wife, your daughters, your wealth, your money!
I feel your pain beyond this grave!
Open your eyes and see am here too,
Broken down by sorrow,
The mood that shares our pain,
Although I must sign the visitors’ book,

Kneeling, hugging and respecting,

NAKED NIGHT
That night I had miles to run,
A pack of memories to carry,
Missing the peace of night,
I engaged my gears over the soft pillow,
Rough to my own soul;
My past mistakes tormented me,
Enough files of failure,
A few stops along the highway,
Picking a lost jewel,
The clock went on and on,
In my time of triumph,
I became the hero,
I met my friends and lovers.
Up and down I searched for happiness,
In love with hollow thoughts,
A lie that money is strength,
The vanity in this world,
I was stored in drains of fantasy,
Everything good was mine.
I lost the chance in the golden hour,
I should have taken the order of night,
I was defeated in the shadow of life,
When the morning started to knock,
I mourned the loss of precious hours,
There was no time to shut and rest,
My load of burdens still alive,
I should have slept all night.

A CRUDE WORLD
That day then,
I thought the treasure in life,
Life just an orderly event,
Being around in wait,
Asking what is mine,
Misfortune around my dreams,
Life a noble gift,
Hours of pleasure to treasure,
Round my empty trips,
All my lack lay bare,
Life gave me little meaning,
Golden hours up in smoke,
A banquet of fears and tears,
The faithful gain of misery,
In a crumbling own world,
Ruled by hunger and danger,
And violence of a gentle wind,
The injustice of sharp sun rays,
The wrath of seasons and lessons,
All real about the feel,
The buried days and the distant future!
Dreams still unborn,
My heart must love the truth,
A sense in today’s promise,
Yesterday is far away,
And tomorrow another promise.

IN SILENCE!
Today I grow in silence,
An isolated trail,
A secret tale,
No tags of praise,
Goons to cheer,
Silence chose me,
Far from the lead,
My breadth on hold,
The sound of silence,
A listening art,
The last and the least,
Bellied men pulling beards,
For the mic’ and the cameras!
Within the noise of men,
Silence makes bare its radiance,
Carelessly, in silence,
Trees kiss and hug,
To the will of wind;
True love abiding,
A perfect spread of peace!
It’s a hard space,
In a loud world;
War for name and fame,
I’m glad for silence,
In silence I’m in calm,
In silence, I’m a winner,
There is peace unknown,
Today belong to the noisy,
The furious and the cunning,
Always winning,
Tomorrow the silence will speak.
