Blue Hour
For All To See
Tear your clothes
Prove me wrong
Help me get
Tired of flesh and its song
The call, the flame
The pause, the frame
Your wounds displayed
For all to see
I’d burn my house and kneel
To feel the very things you feel
Raised among the wolves
We’re here to embody love
But when in these
Three hundred sixty-seven empty shoves?
And boy, there is nothing to complete
From all these expectations
Ah give your mind some holiday
Am I forever closed
It’s easier to think that I’m bored
And thanks for trying so hard
I’m happy in your core
So I chose to perform
All beds turned into a stage
And here’s the climax paradox
In the end nobody’s there
But it opened wide
The file disclosed
Your wounds alive
In beauty smoke
A room I felt too small
Was never meant to be alone
Getting all the girders
Of a truth I should despise
Hanging with the critters
Where the spirit’s paralyzed
The coil of the shell
The relentless attempt
Let’s disappear to find ourselves
And now that monsters cuddle into you
This solar flare of void and despair
Unseals all these sacred gates
And where the comfort left no suffering
I’ll wake up to a wind
Of daggers and blessings
And pray it’s better than it was
Change
When did all begin?
When did the mattress
Turn to a viper pit?
Oh fixed, you’re getting fixed
And so you hold me
Hanging from a bridge
It’s burning where you’re dancing
And I never claimed
That indeed my way was the only
If seasons are bound to change
Show me softly my place
I’ll do what I always do
Change with you
When all falls apart
I got a shack inside your hatred
And a suite inside your heart
But it’s you who builds up the path
And you may steal from me
But you can’t take my hand
I’m happy that you love me
That you don’t recede
That you’re so unique as the others
For seasons are bound to change
I’ll wear my negligee
For every you to look through
And change with you
And change with you, my love
Down Below
Knots to endless tunes
To your ballerina frame
Though we run and fume
One of us will die today
Lost in the cycle of woe
May all break from their prison
The way you pause to sing
As above so below
See the flood outside
Waiting on our window sill
You’re woven in light
Don’t care how many you’ve killed
All vessels sink, don’t you think
That we’re here for a reason?
The way you touch the eyes of
The blind from below
The way you leave to show me
Where you’re going I will go
After this dance of blood and shields
We’re more than will and shades
When we’re close in the battlefield
Will you remember my name?
And now that you’re roots of limbo trees
If I’m still this weak and lame
Will you come and set me free
From the old Samsaric game?
Torn in the night of the heart
May all wombs cry the same oath
The way you shut the hells
Where we laughed down below
The way your love has shown me
That our death is overthrown
After this dance of blood and shields
We’re more than will and shades
When we’re close in the battlefield
Will you remember my name?
Yours
Lately in my nights
The ceiling’s closing in
Though I miss your pyre
These matches make me grin
How many years
With you beneath the skin?
I wish you were here
With your map of suffering
Thank you for your shelter
When the people laughed at me
All your children come to play
The blood and the air
The tear and the cave
The lock and the wave
The fight for bride’s bouquet
The trail of the pain
The applause of the rain
May I hear you naked?
The candles are all snuffed
Sound again this hurtful
You didn’t hurt me enough
Lie with your grace
And lick the wound on Earth
Though they cut your hair
You came in dress of birds
We’ll be one and dancing
I have always known my place
All your children come to play
The breach in the space
The bloom and demise
How we penetrate
The bones of sacrifice
The leaving behind
The Word and the eyes
No more showing off
It’s only you and me
Come and heal the liar
Come heal the disbelief
Talk to my soul
I’m asking for the truth
Why in my seabed
I’m always tired and blue
Though one day you’ll go
To make me love the void
Today hear my pledge:
Whatever you are
Whatever you mean
Whatever the puppet
In your golden string
I’m bare on your shore
Whatever the course
I am yours
Brave As You
Lie down to sleep
My little wonder
It’s playtime for grown-ups
Forget the thirst
Outrun the hunger
The allies will be coming soon
Days can’t go bleak
If we’re playing hide-and-seek
Don’t you believe
There are candies after rules?
Sing, jump and laugh
Every time you hear a bang
Only the brave
Celebrate the breath of life
They said Daddy’s gone
Can see him when you close your eyes
So he’s not gone for good
Not to you
You won the game
You will be leaving
I’ll be there
A bit after
We weren’t made
To hold these rifles
Our brothers
May be on either side
Days can’t go bleak
If we’re playing hide-and-seek
Don’t look behind
You’re forever in my eyes
Sleep in your heart
And we’ll dance among the larks
A whole new world
Has opened wide
And if they say you belong
To those that we are hiding from
Spray the light, make them new
Brave as you
Meeting Gold
Sweet afternoon, our anarchyphilia
I would have killed if I’d been told
Though I’ve forgotten youth and deliria
That was the honey meeting gold
There’s no truth in the wind all around
Forced to look at myself, I don’t
I don’t know how these threads hold us down
Forced to sense what there’s left
The bond with long gone ghost
Though we are high on clouds of nostalgia
We will then smile and play our part
As if I threw a dart to the atlas
And that’s not also where you are
There’s no truth in the wind all around
Forced to look at myself, I don’t
I don’t know how these threads hold us down
Forced to dump what there’s left
The perfume of a ghost
The Rabbit Hole
There’s a thorn in Wonderland
Torn by days we give our hands to Morpheus
Then a cry would wake you up
Though that night we promised to sleep
If I cease to exist
Don’t take it so seriously
Come to break the day
Save me from myself
Maybe there’s no goal to reach after all
Maybe there’s no paradise past the wall
Howls the wolf behind our scars
Starts the ambrosia with a smile in chaos
When the world burns to the ground
In your arms I call the ash faith
Sealed lips, open heart
And there’s nothing left to say
Come to break the day
Save us from ourselves
Despite the love
The ephemeral us will depart
The kingdom of crude
The law of the scythe
We’ll meet behind the light
And when we’re gone
And lonely to walk one more road
Recall if you may
We chose everyday
To fade in love for all
I’m not tired of the game
But these rules grew obsolete
Did you know the rabbit hole
Could for us go down this deep?
Come to save the day
Break us off ourselves
Always Tried
I know you’re watching
I know your friends
Keep coming back to you
The exile was voluntary
But after all these years I’m here
To tell you that…
That I’m travelling light
Just to find my piano on your cloud
Though the animal is still inside
I control the howl
Tell them I just had to stay away
Couldn’t stand more losses
It’s worse this pain of not being alive
You know I’ve always tried
They called me a cold heart
Just couldn’t miss
The things I can’t recall
You should hear them crying
Glad they came across your name
As kindness tears the veil…
Teach me nakedness
Breathing out all ashes in the air
Haven’t got rid of this cowardice
But I’m halfway there
Will your hand descend disguised in rain
When I feel I’m nothing?
I swear this time I’ll hold onto life
You know I’ve always tried
Bon Voyage
There’s a distant roar
Not a thing to call your own
Till you let it go
Till you let it go
There’s a golden seat
To see anger kindly leave
When you let it go
When you let it go
Your makeup to lock down the blizzard
That goes on deep below
Is as passing as mine
If I picture you
In the gardens of the Truth
Will you let it go
When you can let go?
Risen from the mud
On a bridge to timeless love
There’s no chain or stone
But you just won’t know
Till you, till you…
Till you let it go
And I know
That though you’re called indifferent
You’re stranded, unopened
To a pain you just can’t stand
You’ll never walk alone
I hear from the Sun
‘I just shed my light on everyone’
So I sit down
And linger in garlands of Eden
So swinging, breaking burdens of the soul
And leaving doubt
Ah but what’s that shadow? Not again…
That man in black
Don’t try
Don’t dare
Don’t move
Don’t
Fool
Don’t smile
Don’t love
Don’t chase
All that you’re not
Don’t grow
Don’t feel
Don’t be here
Don’t
Fake
Don’t pray
Don’t vow
Or give your life
For a stupid virtuous dawn
If you please
Shut my eyes to see
All I have learnt left behind
In sighs of blood and time
Till everything
And everyone
Are through with fear
And through with all harm
Till I am strong
To say ‘I am forgiven’
Till we are one and one alone
I will return
Singles
No Mirrors
Sad spiderweb
At the break of the day
Fell through the hole
Where Prozac lilies sway
I took the gin
And I burnt with Rome
Tore my friends
And all I called my home
I don’t want to row
Through the shades of glory
Through the pain of longing
Sure you know
I refuse the shining
What’s wrong dear?
Don’t you dare call it by the name?
No mirrors left
Where I wrote on the mist
“One of these days
I’ll stop boycotting me”
Leave with my tongue
And return with the dark
From the smile
My demons send regards
“Won’t you let us in?
Why you chose pathetique?
You’re no longer Erik
Can’t you see
The sand keeps on falling?”
“It’s true but
You want to hear one of my jokes?”
Shame, prayers new to resist the old shame
Only trying to give here away
The bread I never earned
As for me, there’s a curse in disguise of relief
And a fleet that does nothing but drift
And sing the lost to sleep
And I’ve come to cleanse my soul
In the night benighted
Guess you’re all invited
Left to drown
With the mirrors I’ve broken
Well, babe, that’s
Enough submission for today
On Your Roof
In scenes of in-and-out
An angel came to sigh
Light, don’t you want light?
Caress me, here I am
The swing of summer nights
Collapsing on your roof
Where I camp though I swore to move
In case we made it new
All that we are
The thorns and the clay
Maybe it’s just a game
Maybe stars align
For us to leave all behind
The poisoned and the gray
The kiss of half a town
I’m tired to swim but I learnt to drown
And draw delusion howls
But we left the watch aside
And the night felt like a pause
And all gods spoke through your smile
And if you’re ready…
Show me what there’s left
Remind me why we parted
Wrap me in your sheets
On a softer crucifix
Fainting, bidding farewell
Naked and floating
The order belongs to the dead
I’m ready
Tear off my flesh
Till you don’t tell me apart from the springs
Awake the swarm of all goodbyes
In scenes of in-and-out
An angel came to sigh
Light, don’t you want light?
The Glass
Darling I’ll be coming late
Though I’m still me, I did it again
Lost in glints of the free
Flashing off the handcuffs
It’s easier now through the glass
Sure I had to cross
The limits of the skin
Be unfaithful to the darkness
That I was born within
Pour it till our body hurts
Till the night oaths are just one more blur
All the lessons to learn
Sold for ibuprofen
For all the lies in the glass
We all tried to go unnamed
Not ashamed, travelling light
Then realized past a lifetime
That I’m just not your kind
Fires from a sky divorced
I’m rewriting the laws of remorse
Came to those that I hurt
Asking who I am
From all I’ve been through the glass
Candles for the lost
Between the city and God
New the truth, new the evening
That’s spreading from above
Has Its Dark
Rays & Shells
Here’s the road of swans
From the clamp to these hammer thoughts
Stars swear we’re outdrawn
But I’m deaf to these warning shots
Feels like I’m defying God
I’ll let it out
As you bathe with the dew and the doubt
In a realm made of water and plastic
We shed the skin
And draw these veils of suffering
And though we’ll be going down
Down with the light
Between code and crime
Your chains are the soul mates of mine
And then we grope for the righteous sex
In a house of smoke, and our bed
Wired with words of a ghost
Let me undress and hold my tongue
Before we find our faith was wrong
You claim you don’t get
Poetry or the shit I wrote
No room left for hands
Lips are warm but the forehead’s not
I at last unmasked your law
I’ll keep it in
As you leave with the moon and the saints
By a lake where the air tames the heart
And we shed the skin
And draw these veils of suffering
And now that we’re satisfied
And go back to life
I’m told to delight
In chains that were soulmates of mine
And with the storm
Bras and curtains will be torn
And naked as we sing
We’ll wave goodbye between
Rays and shells
Learning Solitude
Sores taught me to run
From the light of the sun
Starting this one-guest party
In garlands of light bulbs
In tension I swayed
Get a way, get away
These drugs surely kept me rolling
Happy across dark fate
And I hope you find the angels
Where the manias have their veils
The days to march like soldiers
To their decorated graves
With a back that is so naked
And a man that’s far from brave
Perform your finest whiplash
For your dedicated slave
If there’s good and evil in the air
Let it all fall right into my arms
If I’m learning solitude
And the horizons of the window
Hide the ladder
The ladder to the stars
Changed laughs for control
Thoughtful sex for the porn
Failed by the human rubric
Bring me back the storm
And I hope you find the angels
Where the manias have their veils
Like a wolf to its prey
Like the night to the day
I hold onto your name
Even if you stay, if you go
I pray it’s not too late
The soldiers go to pantheons
They forgot to decorate
With a back that is so naked
And a man that’s far from brave
Perform your finest whiplash
For your dedicated slave
If there’s good and evil in the air
Let it all fall right into my arms
If I’m learning solitude
And the horizons of the window
Hide the ladder
The ladder to the stars
I Came
I was grazing
With the lone and the crazy
The city glazed with sweet, clandestine rooms
I was thirsty
Of oblivion and mercy
Relinquishing control back to the moon
So puppet of all there’s to unlearn
And of all the people I’ve become
Over again, the flesh will sleep
Between the thorns and the silk
Wild the souvenir
Sinking in everything
Am I loving too soon?
Withdrawing too late?
I came to conquer city and heart
And the tongue goes true again with
“La-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra”
We got married
From the cliffs we got married
It was freedom
Though some called it summer love
So puppet of the man I think I am
And of all the voids that drew my hands
Over again, I’m home at last
Between the now and a then
Tables have been turned
But please don’t ask me when
If I die with the lambs
And rest with the waves
I came to break my word in half
Realize my open veins
And let ’em regrow every night
How many times I’ve seen the moon
With her sister in my arms
In our moans of supernova
In stardust of the heart
I’m still carrying every morning
Blessing these Cantabrian streets
Came so far for beauty in thee
And even though I warned you then
Both will be torn as you seek
An explanation for
What passion cannot keep
If I’m free from the land
And chained to renew my pledge
Of joyless refugee
With the trophies on the shelves
I deal with the mist of the self
Also What Is April
To Your Honor be shown
The shadow of a crime
Where the blades of my weary tongue
Cut the eyes of a child
I accept these tears from hell
But I claim the right to see the moon
Dance with Venus for the dead
Here’s the heart
And the last thing that it said
Say your name
As the city lights fall behind
Say your name
As if we’re not getting lost in time
Run, my dear, when all is done
My life is on the table
May is gone, but I’m in love
With also what is April
Graveyards for the trains
And pilgrims build their nest
On this sign of “Maybe late”
Don’t need your word
To know I don’t deserve her spirit
I take the blame
For all that I can’t erase
Your hand’s severe
But can’t kill me
If the heart already stopped
When she left
And lost in the road
It’s said
Say your name
As the city lights fall behind
Say your name
As if we’re not getting lost in time
Run, my dear, if I’m the sword
Before your wound is fatal
May is gone, but I’m in love
With also what is April
Graveyards for the trains
And pilgrims build their nest
On this sign of “Always fucking late”
Has Its Dark
Broke the watch
Watched the rose
Rose from love
Love the storm
Perfect rooms that I leave
For sweet mysteries
To play among the sharks
I know even summer has its dark
Never glad
Satisfied
Just myself
Me and I
There’s a ring on the right
And chains on the left
You spill your manna slow
I know this tie becomes a rope
Have to leave
Leafless trees
All to blame
Till the spring
Though I tried to stab my inner child
He chose not to die
And play among the sharks
I know even summer has its dark
Whispers in the Night
You ruled the beauty in the realm
Of dying voices
Your shoulder hosting refugees
From astral noises
Innocence, in my ear
Passion sense, whisper in my ear
We chose the mattress over spoons
And fed on secrets
How strong the fortress of the pride
How sweet the weakness
In my land vines are yelling
From your tongue spells are ready
Closer, walker
Lower whispers in the night
Starting over
With every whisper in the night
Our fleshless love perfumed the house
Where we were music
I don’t know you at all but have
A life to do it
Innocence whispering
Passion sense howls at thee
Closer, walker
Lower whispers in the night
Starting over
With every whispering
And how am I supposed to leave
In dark and silence?
Skin myself from throat to sleep
With the songs we used to sing
In a long awaited spot
I will show you what I got
Even my soul will leave me alone
Even my words will end in foam
See this ‘never’ beneath the light
That I mean to drink forever?
Lips in the entrails of the night
The only place for you and I
I can see your magic whispers
I can touch your tragic whispers
I’m beneath your silver whisper
I am one with the last of whispers
Closer, walker
Lower whispers in the night
Starting over
With every whisper in the night
The Slavery Day
I live as if I shouldn’t live
Measuring the gold I give
Saying prayers unaddressed
To renew the eyes
So excuse me if I had
To show you my broken heart
Knowing as I do you can’t
Help gather the parts
Caught between lethargic faith
And go your way
I know the pain I caused
Won’t heal with songs
Though they’re my only truth
Made the banquet out of bread
Homeless in our sober nights
In our greed for spotless breath
We washed in the wine
If I truly loved you once
Be sure I will love you twice
In the orgasm of a past
I’m tidily entwined
Caught between regretful hate
And go your way
I know the pain I caused
Won’t heal with songs
Though they’re my only truth
Did you feel my word retreat?
Concrete’s drying ’round my feet
By the graceful shame of men
I swear I will fail again
If only my sterile chant
Blended with the aurora lights
And our dance be kept within
Forever this bright
Caught between the slavery day
And go your way
I know the pain I caused
Won’t heal with songs
Though they’re my only truth
Laura
When Laura’s combing
Her hair with her mom
Reminds her how cute she looks
She’s telling her daughter
To keep breaking through
She answers her friends
Are confined to the books
Laura hits the road
She’s strong with the arms of her sleep
The arrows go deep
She has barely entered
And already wants to leave
And she hates the offspring
Their cruelty so young
She’d better not meet the boars
Divorced from the living
Remarried to locks
The blinds that are lowered
For nobody’s war
No ropes in the house
She’s used to the old plastic knives
Her mom’s been awake
For more than a winter
Soothing Laura when she cries
The landscape of bruises
That bloom on her skin
The wounds that you cannot see
A rain of saliva
To land on her cheeks
The cancer is spreading
The floor knows her knees
Laura falls apart
Her knuckles are virgin from scars
Her breath is sharp
As she cures the scratches
But the gauze won’t reach the heart
She sings for the mirror
Her teddy and her dolls
Surrenders to a dreamer ghost
And all through the evening
She’s writing a song
Declaring her love
For the eyes where she froze
Laura looks at him
She sings with the glass of the nerves
The choir of laughter
Sounds with the leader
And his name’s in every verse
And she’s looking down
Through the hallway of shame
She wonders what is her crime
“You’re lame and pathetic
You don’t even try
Go do us a favor
And jump off the life”
Laura is allured
To a darkness with costume of light
The neighbor comes by
And Laura’s smiling
“Lend me a belt ’cause I lost mine”
And now there’s a buzz
In this cold mourning air
A tangle of ‘nuts’ and ‘saint’
The offspring divided
The ones with regret
The ones who don’t know
And the ones searching next
Laura was a wave
That’s lost in the oceans of names
Of those who wrote their obituary
“I did not exaggerate”
Summer
The flight, the endless strength
Longing to hear from you
From you and no one else
All of the world
Reduced to a name
I loved your dress
And the orange blossoms
Bleeding scent and poison
Streaming down the law of the shades
And looked for you behind every face
After all these years it’s so clear
I still live in summer’s throat
And if it’s summer
Summer, summer
Why won’t you give me summer
Summer again?
I looked for you to say
Not all was done
As you were moving
With your husband to Vietnam
A version of you
Pure in the unknown
As in your citadel
Plagues find no breach
I swallow the Kama Sutra
And twist out of your reach
Out of the fear
I was nothing to thee
Solely when I close my eyes
I see a reason to abide
And if it’s summer
Summer, summer
Why won’t you give me summer
Summer again?
I’ve seen the gutter
Draw me shutters
Hiding behind the slaughterhouse
Where we lived
Oh summer, summer, summer
Ah won’t you give me summer
Summer again?
You’re the reason
I believe in heaven
Now that you’re 37
And outshine the stars
And let the summer bells chime louder
I want to hear our daughters
My Elyan
My Lady Summer
One-Night Marriage
One-Night Marriage
Chances are in this
Fine hotel something’s amiss
The hallway’s filled
With silence of a knife
Lovers in the snow
All the true that true can go
We both know
You’re someone else’s wife
With the windows shut
And the clothes we cut
To gobble up the breast of night
And no ring comes through
When it’s me and you
In this church this bed alight
If it’s a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned
If you’re up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar
You know babe
Not even death can part us
It is the dawn that will instead
But December rules
In this castled frozen room
We shiver with the glasses
And our names
Lovers dressed in flames
Melt the frost on this champagne
We’re tamers
Or we’re the beast to tame
I’ll be counting moles
Or the moons you stole
From the secret old breast of night
Be the sweet skin wars
With my soul on yours
A kind of altar
For Wrong and Right
If it’s a one-night marriage
Replace the vows with strident moans
Your wedding dress
With the sheets of queens dethroned
If you’re up
Up to this one-night marriage
Replace the children with the stars
That shine upon us
From the ceiling of the bar
You know babe
Not even death can part us
It is the dawn that will instead
Part From Thee
You were born such a lady
Without heels without gloves
You said “draw me in your poems
And then you may throw them
But do it for love”
In the woods I lamented
That the words wouldn’t come
You said “if shut the doors
All trees will be yours
But only the trees
Because my words go like this
Till thy love fears no travel
I will part from thee
Till thy heart is unravelled
I will part from thee”
Then I yelled “no please no
Teach me how to speak”
“Oh the birds sing an anthem
And the path seems so clear”
You said “do not digress
You won’t be caressed
It’s you who must sing my dear”
“The streets shine with traces
With your footprints on them”
You said “get to the point
Don’t try to join
What goes on outside
With what is born in your loins
Till thy love fears no travel
I will part from thee
Till thy heart is unravelled
I will part from thee”
I complained “no please no
Teach me how to be clear”
Then I cried “please please
Prevent me from not being near”
It was four when you woke up
Our bed lighter than air
Yet so many were on it
The past so erotic
Keeps me unrepaired
“Oh but love let me touch you
Though we get really hurt”
You said “I know that pain
I’ve felt it in vain
I know you will not be washed
In ten years of rain
For thy love fears all travels
I must part from thee
Before everything’s ravelled
I must part from thee”
Now I’ll draw you as promised
Even though I’m running late
I’ll be kissing an old mist
Seeing the past be washed
Away in the rain
Dance Drink Dance
Tell her to wait
If you have left your courage far away
In your cottage of the moon
She’ll go her way
So you’d better move fast through the space
The time and its tunes
You see her name in the morning
With the first beam of light
That lands on your bed
When you meet her just dance
Dance with her soul past the fence
Dance with her scent to a trance
If there’s the slightest chance
Oh dance and dance and dance
During the day
She will tell you that she’s doing great
That at night they clear what’s wrong
“Oh well glad to know”
As you picture that world of her own
Where you just don’t belong
You kiss her voice in the nighttime
As she quenches your thirst
For verses to sing
When you meet her just drink
Drink to a home on her chin
There is more to feel less to think
Part of her will go when you blink
Part of her in your flesh will sink
Cambrés that shine in the dance hall
You just don’t give a damn
If it’s blood or it’s wine
Oh drink it up and love awhile
Dance drink dance my love
Dance me where love has been chained
Dance me to love’s purest strain
If there’s a glass and rain
Dance to the drops
Dance come what may
Paying My Bill
Onto the street with my hat on
Oh November is here
Oh the wheels of faith are broken
Still the heart and liver steer
Walk into a bar for the rich ones
Where you sweat to quench your thirst
Holy water down the throat
And the goddess will descend a little more
No her beauty doesn’t find words
But I try on and on
She walks by a monastery
That’s why the monks are no longer monks
Wounds of shiver soaked my pleasure
In the gin on her tray
That I’m sober I’ll pretend
Though I’m drunk on looks
That claim that there’s no end
And I’ll be paying my bill
As you’re standing still
We’re dressed to kill
Dawns on top of the hill
After all I’m not that ill
Three a.m. ma’am I am
I’m ready to praise your eyes
When these drinkers ache for leaving
I’ll pawn myself past closing time
But if you stay I’ll love the prison
I’ll be friends with the guard
Though I’m buried in the yard
Just one spark will make
The night no longer dark
And I’ll be paying my bill
As you’re standing still
We’re dressed to kill
Dawns on top of the hill
My Elyan
When the stars are there
Covering this place with their
Twinkling light of ages
As the rage within some pages of our book
And with the sounds of town
The music of the planets falling down
We set the rhythm and shove our way
Through a soundtrack to make love
Run my Elyan
I’ve seen the past aiming at me
Just like a spear in search of relief
Don’t run my Elyan
Now separate ways
But a street heard me say
“Tie me to you for the next million days”
In the early hours
With a white-blue light
You see the morning’s ours
And there is no greater might
Than leaving the window open
And have the lovers chilled
Bodies bare into the wind
On top of some poetic hill
And with the drops and tons
Of commitment of laws
Of an oath the undone
We set the rhythm and shove our way
Through a soundtrack to make love
Run my Elyan
I’ve felt the words at breakneck speed
Trapped in a mouth that no longer speaks
Don’t run my Elyan
That I’m godless you say
But I knelt and I prayed
“Don’t let me go
Even though I have to escape”
With the morning silence
And the scent of soil and grass
Motionless on the balcony
And you won’t dare to ask
If I’ll take all my fears and
I’ll pile them into a heap
I know your will could burn them
But it’s always raining here
And when the town wakes up
With a car on the street
And the sparrows above
We set the rhythm and shove our way
Through a soundtrack to make love
Run my Elyan
I drove today close by your place
Now I’m the music for you and someone else
Don’t run my Elyan
I’ll speak no more for all has been said
Lay down to sleep
May this song be your bed
If You Had a Bad Day
If you had a bad day
I might be of help
Let me sing you to the madness
With your voice no longer held
If you’re hungry and wounded
Have as bandage my skin
And have rest
As I slowly cook our hymn
If you had a bad day
Come get me and drive
Till the road is just a page
On which we write
The rules of a game
That we both were born to play
If you had a bad day
You feel like breaking stuff
Try to break my lips
So lonely I’ve been
They must be hard enough
If it was a long day
And it’s cold on the street
My hands are in Siberia
But the soul was born in heat
If you had a bad day
And your heart is still raw
Let tomorrow ask for mercy
In Sunday’s jaws
For I’ve seen the blaze
Now my place shall be the place
Where nobody knows us
Where nobody cares
If we make love in the lake or
If we do or do not dare
If you had a bad day
I’ll marry your pain
And if it was a good day
I’ll be singing this again
The Wings
The wings that made you fly
Past the sun and through the snow
I took my summer knives
And I cut them lying low
I never was prepared
For this land of thousand laws
So show me a piece of air
Bring the sky onto the floor
Lie here, don’t have fear
Just feel a voice breaking free
I hold your hand
Feels like I’m trusted to caress the Earth
My vision blurs
I choose this music
Seeing life through your words
So tell the streets
I’ll keep your wings
As they are keeping me
From the air they call your name
Heart and coat become the same
To face this winter grace
Of a smoke and lemon taste
Well their orders come so thin
I could dodge’em from my swing
Be your blue in everything
If I can’t still hide your wings
Lie here, there’s nothing you should fear
Just feel the endless revealed
You tear the veil
Your eyes like raining truth beyond the art
And cross my heart
I’ll do your bidding
Even to depart
Under the stairs
My chance to dare whoever may be there
These boots on my neck
This awful way to sing
As ever I’m bare
To give you back your wings
They’re smiling
You start to rise so high
And though I know
They never gave me reins for winter skies
I loved the lie
I left this music young and sacrificed
To see the sun
You have to wake and step into the mud
To the Dare
Moving fast to force the healing
And concealing wooden waits
I drew more lines than the plights behind them
Wasn’t good at boarding trains
Solitude was one more lover
Where I lingered with the tides
I felt the touch of wild redemption
On the brink of genocide
So we raise our cups
And toast to the dare
But these lines are getting thinner
And these worlds will just collide
So the outer serves the inner
And at last we wear the light
Don’t you see the room is empty
And we’re running out of sand?
Let’s turn the blind eye on this courtroom
Turn our back on pain’s commands
So we raise our cups
And toast to the dare
It is worth the shot
It is not a crime
Here’s my longing plot
What the end of life just can’t divide
And there’s nothing wrong
With the adventurous heart
Here’s my clumsy song
And my cowardice half-dressed in art
If they see me crawl
I don’t give a fuck at all
Ever since I’ve held this mirror
Where I see just what is gone
I never said nakedness was easy
Not with shields on for so long
I will owe you an explanation
For what passion cannot keep
And as you leave I’ll look back and thank you
For the hours we were free
If I leave the hole
Let me do it just this slow
It is worth the shot
It is not a crime
Here’s my longing plot
What the end of life just can’t divide
And there’s nothing wrong
With the adventurous heart
Here’s my clumsy song
And my cowardice half-dressed in art
With All That Is May
Beyond the wedding
From spring and birds
I learn this is rebirth
The sheer distress
Recedes as I confess
That all my mares
They go to die upon your dress
A solar flare
That swims across the name
Ah the rings
They will be petals of a tulip
And the vows sworn with the eyes
And forever
Build my house between these two lips
Though forever means a night
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love with all that is May
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
At last I say
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
In every single way
When pools are drying
When moons are caged
When players leave the game
This soldier swore
He’d fight forevermore
And all my crows
They gather to adore this rose
My life in bows
You, reaper of the snow
Ah the paper’s way too small
To praise your beauty
For the ink where I’ve always dwelled
But the night with starry voice
Reveals me something:
“Never have you loved so well”
I’ll quit the peace, hunting doves
‘Cause I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love with all that is May
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
At last I say
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
In every single way
And from this day on
It’s sewn with lips
The cosmos at my ribs
And wound this song
And rip my tongue
And I’ll still sing
Still I sing
Wherever She Goes
Who will shield the leaves
From the astounding wind
Oh how the night’s given birth
To a world the sunrise
Will surely slice
Below this thought I blow
Against the cyclone that razes
Souls from city and forest
For I know she loves my music sometimes
I want her to be inside
Once more she stands still by the door
When she smiles I call it home
I know her soul is second to none
Let me hold her tight and close
Wherever she goes
I like her slightly wider lips
Just like the sea sips a ship
Words are swallowed with a kiss
So far we’ve missed
And there will be a wave
And so the water will carry monsters
From the ocean’s bed
For I know she loves my music somehow
She’s sounding always loud
Once more she stands beneath the clouds
Oh the rain will sing out loud
And now and always when love is near the core
She’ll lead me to the door
And I know
The pressure’s overwhelming for her skin
I wish it was her skin what took me in
As if there was a sky for me
Slashing this reality
And taking all the pieces that I’ve loved
As if there was a side of it
That wasn’t bliss or tragedy
I will follow the trail
To become even colder
Once more she stands still by the door
When she smiles I call it home
I know her soul is second to none
She’ll lead the shine
Wherever she goes
Healing Light
Sing my favorite lullaby
For these long insomnia nights
Lend your hair as pacifier
As if I were on your thighs
I’ll cross each and every land
Just to see you and start to cry
You won’t notice, I can promise
I can love you from a side
I used to hide so much
This darkness is garnished as I like
I can’t go back
After I’ve known your healing light
There’s an old scar still to come
Of a man who outshined your sun
Now you want the prince of silence
Not a poet on the run
We were dancing into one
One night in Saint Secondin
Now I play the second fiddle
In this riddle asked by love
And am I done? I must ask
Am I here completely done?
I don’t want out
Now that I’ve found your healing light
All I am lies in this poem
All I speak is sometimes truth
Here it is, my timeless drama
Here it is, my chanceless you
Before I go back to prison
Let me praise it through and through
It is more than life what found me
In what now I mean by “you”
Now the lullaby is torn
With the dream insomnia’s drawn
Have some mercy upon the vulture
Who once thought it could be a swan
I drew knuckles on the wall
And a crack through which I called
Help me make this close to easy
‘Cause it is not close at all
And here’s your salt
My open wounds, here’s your salt
I got new scars
They’re carved by your
By your healing light
You know I’m condemned to shake
With the music in your name
When our scents undress in haste
Our bodies sewn to a single waist
We’ll be dancing into haze
As we claim none is to blame
Is there anything we’ve missed?
Is there something left to say?
‘Cause if there is
You’d better tell me
Before this goes amiss
And after all
I’m sick and high
On your healing light
