A bit lost in .........

I have gone so far

I have tried so hard


My mind is so heavy!

and

My heart is so heavy too!


I wanted to reach the sky,

I wanted to be enlightened by the sun,

But instead I just found your shadows,

Your dark shadows!


My heart is so cold

And

My brain is so burning

My heart is full by sorrows

And

My brain is full by secrets


I have gone so far

And I have tried so hard

So hard to find out how to love you

But


My mind and my heart are so heavy


I wanted to reach the sky,

I wanted to be enlightened by the sun,

But instead I found your shadows

Your dark shadows!


Till next dimension.....

IQ-spirit

IQ spirit

An ice-sharp thought
A starlight feeling
A desert-hot soul

A dark-empty mood

In all humility

and
At your complete disposal
Your Excellency


White - approval
Black - denial

If You Forget Me

If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly you
forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots
will set off to seek another land.

But if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

by Pablo Neruda

Mental knight

Mental knight I wander,

Are you real or
Are you just a dream
Or did you just come

come by

to bow

bow

my soul

You came and whispered

whispered hot-hot words
hot-hot

directly into my heart


But did you do it

just to let it,
my heart,
burn down

down
down to ashes

You came and whispered
whispered hot-hot words

hot-hot
directly into my heart

But did you do it

just to let it,

my brain,

melt down

down to air

I thought

I was going

for a trip,

with you,
with you to the moon

But soon

I realised

that the devil

had taken

taken over

the gear!


My journey

became marked
marked by hard

hard and deep

deep battles
During days and nights
During every breath,

every heartbeat,

every thought,
every twinkle,
every step


The case isn’t simple
and
my journey seems to be

more and more painful


My tears are now

as hard

as steal
and
my temper

is just in

sane


My case isn’t simple
and
my journey seems to be

more and more painful


Mental knight I wander,

Are you real or
Are you just a dream
Or did you just come

come by

to bow

bow

my soul


Mental knight among all the shadows

Do you want to let me go?
Just to Be free?


eternally
