NINSOAREA DIN OCHII TĂI / THE SNOWFALL IN YOUR EYES

NINSOAREA DIN OCHII TĂI / THE SNOWFALL IN YOUR EYES In ochii tăi a început ninsoareaŞi-n ochii mei apune-o rugăminte,Când iarna ia în braţe jurăminteEu voi fi cerul tău şi vindecarea. Îţi las etern lumina din cuvinte,În zarea albă cântă neuitarea,Mai vin zăpezi cerşindu-ne iertareaŞi-aş vrea să devenim poeme sfinte. Doar cerul printre...Read More »

Colour me gone

                  Colour me gone   Colour me gone I’m just a pawn In life’s chess game   I’m just a non- person, a yawn, and all the same.   I take no heart, I play no part In this last act   I’m game for Art, my counterpart, and that’s a fact.   I know not why I’m a far cry from all that’s known     a harvest fly of the wild rye. colour me...Read More »

I am tired.

                  I am tired. Damn damn damn. I would not have you find me so led by others, but perhaps you are right. I realize how I am so unrefined and stupid. I get down because I do fight the blues. I do suffer from what I accuse other of suffering...Read More »
