GOOD MORNING
The morning stretches on
over my sleeping city,
extending from my hands
endlessly into the blue,
and a big yellow sun
enters your bright eyes.
Don't you feel
in this morning of hope,
the shaking of my hands
open to all your infinities.
Good morning my love,
I kiss your eyes
bathed in dew
in this morning
of blue longing,
and I give you
the hug of life,
forever.
SPRING
Spring is more beautiful
in the backyard of my childhood
under a cherry blossom in bloom.
Fluid and divine white,
adorned with wishes,
colorful,
dreamed in imagination
this present and untouchable love
who constantly struggles with fear
cocoon
in the depths of the soul.
STAY
Cover me with your beauty
Fill the cracks in my heart
Without you
I’m a dried up source
A standing river
I’m the road which
Leads to nowhere
Silent in helplessness
All alone without a splendour
Impersonal views
Staring at yesterday
Blind for tomorrow
So, don’t leave without
Turning your eyes around
Stay close
The night is descending
It’s too black and I fear
The shadows of darkness
Stay with me
Be the fire of life
That shines in me.
