Milling days passing, Dates touching sails afar Light in the night.

| Are you bright, where is your splendour Hidden in the corners of an island Covered with lines shadowing the skin Why do you think life is better in the brim Unless you find obsessions in the dark Challenges in the light?
Do you think splashing sand in the air Stops your eyes of seeing? May the day of curly waves Crush doubts of paradise alien No drink, no colour disguised Brings life tragedy and no art . . .
Ah! Comedy of lovers and dreams Once young now forgotten, ruined Rush our songs bring us old, new Chance the world, chance your love Call me, our, all, forever, and you For you I will take now a new day . . .
A start-creation, the moon Foolish thoughts, a brother, a sister No ceiling covers your sort You and you sample of raw No ideas, no arctic, no draw Lovers of no art, counts of no high . . .
Choice no, fate of the might Leave old, fetch young You are naught, only past Old is new, dress life, no skin You, sample me, offspring, no mirror Young, young power at your feet . . .
Get lost, dare you on me Eyes in the eyes Foolish in each side No matter but falling, being I and you prime foreseen Jail chains, irons of disgust . . .
Dare foretell love to rust And songs and hymns Only you and him, me Dying, no order no compass Passion, no surrender no farce Be what never you dreamt to be . . .
No tender, no mud, no blood Drops of me, drops of you No buy . . . Youth!

| | On the road
| |
Greetings traveller of light . . . Flower of the motors, a sight
My hands dare, my lips make fire . . . No break down in the way, no tyre
No sin is no sign in the road of life . . . But you and me parking in the night
Pure energy battering faces . . . No stop-changing lanes
Both enraptured in ourselves . . . Through high junctions of shadows
Both single in the oceans of stars . . . No end to our journey even afar
But one, under the roots of desire . . . A flyover ties our hands, a pyre.

Sweet girl, bring me the person within Tell me what innocence looks like Count loud how many more days you want to be And how many still crowded are left behind Tell me how many to be lived in unrequited love Tell me how many dreams will cross your nights And whether they will be ghostly disturbed in vile fights How many more to be healed by struggling hopes How many guesses will raise you a smile How strong you are at the end of any beguiling rope Before dusk in a desert of solitude of any unannounced dawn But tell me all jokes freshly planted in your front garden Slanted aligned in an oblong square tight Waiting to blossom at the sound of a wink of Spartan mosaic Tell me how young you are How far your world will take you safely in the dark Tell me what you need Which book you will write Finally tell me Which striking love will love you eternally?
| | | When a morning . . .
|
When a morning is suddenly broken by the wind wooing passing fast leafy trees
And the calls of our past take us in awe to where our heart sleeps freely
Where the chirping of a rosy celestial bird covers the silence of the future
There will be a song breaking the mould of the present, bringing you to me. | | | Feeling better?
|
Feeling better Eyes alive Smiling memories Tearing moments Fondling hearts Steps in life Friendly souls Waiting, find Sunday together
|
| | Feel my fingers on your lips
|
Feel my fingers on your lips My eyes on your heart My dreams under your pillow My wings covering your body And my hope on your smile | | | My romantic heart
|
My friend of bright shining eyes Grant me some of your dreaming time I will sit tranquilly close to your bedside Cutting fresh the shadow of the night stars My hand unhurriedly finding your hair Made of hay severed in a morning meadow I see your gentle forehead dawning a newborn freedom Your heart rocking, pounding for the dew of life Everyday new, everyday born from the plight Between the sombre cold twilight of the dusk The cross desire of your warm heart And the day, pulsing, glowing for nothing But a happy awaking, opening your eyes to the light. | | | The rush hour
|
The rush hour The lost time The window open A kite lost in your direction The wind caressing your hair Verdi calling the Gods And I stop to think of you |

Sweet love, can I open my heart for you As I never did before Now that love and life found a way And future is no more Only a ghastly word? |
