Dark Hearts, Dark Deeds

She said she'd do anything

He heard her and repeated it

Then the bell rang like hell

And words turned to shit

There is nothing worse than loss

Of what you hold so dear

There is nothing worse than a coin's toss

Between hope and fear

The alternating sides of coins

Just like different human faces

One for you and one for them

They take us different places

So trust not the words

And trust not the deeds

Trust not anything

That hungers, lusts, bleeds

When you see the words

Remember what they read

Dark hearts

Dark deeds

The Tree On The Mountain

It's lonely at the top

Looking down at everything 

So far away

So out of reach

Life is a beach

The tree would never visit

For the tree on the mountain

Is lonely as lonely can be

The birds visit at times

But they fly away too

The tree on the mountain

Is as lonely as you

So won't you visit the tree

Don't you want to see

How the tree on the mountain

Spends its days 

Counting the ways

Sand would feel funny between its roots

For when the night falls dark

Dreams awaken in the tree's bark

The tree dreams it'd be free

And one day reach the sea

Breathe

The universe is closing around me

Taking me in

This claustrophobic hug

Is funny

Because

I just forgot to breathe.

The Keys Flew Away

It was a Monday in January

When the keys flew away

Slowly floating away from the keyboard

Maybe they too were bored

 

The wind took them through a window

In the side of the office

Where they took to the sky

To play with the clouds

 

The keys spun with the currents

Leaving contrails behind them

The words were imprinted on the skies

For all to see

 

Then there was me

Alone in the office

Watching a keyboard without keys

Waiting for inspiration

Remember The Words

She is the chaos child

Her soul an animal, wild

Rushing through infinities

Electric extremities

 

When she whispers in your ear

You better pay attention

Even if the meaning is clear

The secrets need a mention

 

How deep would you dig in?

To find the root of her sin

In the pages of a book

You closed and locked far away

 

Feel the fear in the darkness

Feel the terror of being alone

Remember the words she said

Welcome to the shadow zone

It Always Rains In This City

It always rains in this city

Through the day, through the night

All the lights shine so pretty

All the darkness is so bright

There is sin in these streets

There is hunger, there is fear

Mistrust breeds deceit 

Every shadow is so clear

People drown their sorrows

In the bottles filled with fire

They don't want a tomorrow

But they fall to desire

In these streets you walk

Memories fogged like a glass

From the breath of a lover

Who never takes off her mask

It always rains in this city

Where the lights are so pretty

In the puddles and the gutters

Where hope crawls off to die

Forgotten

I've forgotten

More

Than I can remember

Sure

This brain is old

Getting older

Getting colder

So cold

Fighting every day

Every night

Every waking hour

My thoughts devour

Me

I am tasty

But I'll get stuck in the throat

Of whoever tried to eat me

I'll claw and dig my way out

Of every hole

Even when I've forgotten my way back

Even then I'll remember to attack

Everything

The Fog

Life is a road
Full of fog of time
We can only see till a distance
And pray it will be fine

One step in front of another
Eyes on the prize
Even if you can't see
Keep it clear in your mind

So, walk on brother walk on
Walk my sister walk
We're all going home
Through this fog of life

We'll get there
Trust me on this
We'll get there
Sooner, or later
