A harsh word that's spoken out so freely / can almost break someone's heart. / While you think you are so brave / and think that you are so smart. / Not even giving a thought / that someone may never get free / of that pain that your harsh word has left / on a heart so kind and gently. / It is not easy to… sign in to read more »
As the gentle breeze / Blows by, the breeze from River Messina / / We limped on. / We're a flock of New Israelites / Hoping to cross today's Jordan. / / Others were lucky / Telling officials / Off the Canary Islands / They played soccer like Eto. / Remember the Athenians / Who sang… sign in to read more »
(homage to Bob Dylan's "Simple twist of fate") / / When I asked you to cross the line / it was just an idea of mine / in a head too full of wine / to think what it would mean. / Now, knowing where we've been / I know not what I do / skating on a river full of you. / / I'll have to pay for all this lying.… sign in to read more »

Why do you heal me, only to bruise me? / Why do you save me, only to use me? / You lift me up, to make me crawl / Where will you be, when I fall? / / My heart is fine where it's supposed to be / Lost in the dark, for no one to see / You cannot find it, safe where it's hidden / I can't allow access, entry… sign in to read more »
Palms together I bow in submission. / Lost and defeated I come to thee. / Lust, anger and greed ruined my minds caution. / Attachment and egotism is to flee. / Now fear of death the only option. / A tree with no fruits, I deserve from thee? / / Childhood, youth and old age saw all in one. / Always pleasure… sign in to read more »
What I thought was to be a merger of two minds, / Has turned to be a wet and soggy dream, / He promised he would taper down from his boyish antics, / But it was just a cunning plan to convince me otherwise, / When I fell for his assurances, / I became part of the furniture for our home, / The places we… sign in to read more »
Days passed, flowers faded, lands became dry, / Water stopped crawling, dreams suttered, tears fell, promises broken. / Still not appeared.

Some times it is easy to remember. / But some times it is hard to forget. / All the wrong things that happens / daily, and all the diffrent words / that are said.
