The Hollow Heart
I’ve lost you once and my heart bled
Never shall I forgive the unknown mind
All the words that he once said
The reasons he will never find
I’ve lost you twice but you came back
Again I was at ease
Facing once more the famous lack
Until getting down on my knees
I lost you a third
This time no words
Drowning in my sorrow
With a heart, hurt and hollow
I lost you for good
The greatness there is on earth
Never have I understood
Of your love persist the dearth

Brilliantine
This hair,
They never looked her way,
Never understood from where she came
And digressed on the story of the grease
In her hair.
There was none.
They never touched her face,
Looked her way,
Nor saw importance in the moment
When she needed one
To hold her hand.
Or take the time for her
When it was called for.
It was the glossy brilliantine.
And the hidden styling.
The face again,
Which had the tendency to glance away.
And the hair which had no grease.
The clear hair that shone of cleanliness
In the light of the dirty windows.

Come And See The Women
I see women dance around.
And I can only hear a choir
Of two thousand women
Dressed in drapes.
And I can only daze
And drown.
Look around,
Come and see the women
And I breathe;
I smell your neck.
When lips come part,
Taking in the unknown winds,
I feel thy skin upon my kiss,
Into the nothing,
Onto your neck.
Come and see the women.
Then I hear the craze of thunder,
And women chant in choir.

Through The Water-Frame
My eyes see mist
And time no more
My heart fights war
Of passing memory
That once you made exist
I stand before thee
In armor of shattered glass
Such fantastic sentiment
Of my unprotected heart
In everlasting malcontent
What blind shields weren’t meant for me
When my tears turn into
Bottomless wells
Beauty
Fountain of youth,
We sit on its borderline
Drinking from the callow truth
Our lips,

Confessions of a Blood Studded Kiss
From the deepest of a crying heart
Seas most rough and lands so cold
Hope I shall seek, near or far
Prayers enlightened, blessings unfold
Saddened truth yet do I know
A song that lies deep within
Voices I feel, those I may follow
Endless moments my hands begin
Darkened regret, covered in past
Vanished tears have followed my pace
Dream and wish, my mind contrasts
As piece by piece fall out of place
Seeking love, and passion thereafter
Obscurity gains his fearless grounds
A soulless side, no pain no laughter
An unknown artist of great renown

And Then?
I would dress warmly
For wintery days
Wear a hat when they
Predicted rain
And still come home soaked
And I would think
‘And then? ’
I would call you
You wouldn’t answer
I sighed and stayed quiet for a while
And I would think
‘And then? ’
It would storm heavily
And I would listen to the breaking leaves
The spring day would become
The theme of a piano ballad
The death of the sun in seasons’ tears
And I thought
