Just Open Your Eyes

Things that can't be, should not be.

Expectation can derive from so much,
And hatred but a step away.

However, no fault can one have in dreaming.
No sense of loss either.

Success nor goals can quantify your will,
For their eyes will see nothing but what they are told to see.

Do not try to name it.
Do not try to earn it.

Things that can't be, should not be.

Even as lies flow from one mouth to another,
The intention transformed from higher,
Lacks the honest and faithful reason.
And this...
Cannot be ignored.

I shall not fight against it.
I will not break my will against it.
But this will take no more here on.
The wind breaks the tree when it's ready to die,
Not before.

Things that can't be, should not be.

Knowing is more than enough for me.
So enjoy your vastness and all glory that comes with it.
As the path to the spotlight is not the one you foretell.
Striving for your recognition has come to an end.

I have grown as much as I could here.
This box fits me no more.

Not the first, nor the last.

Things that can't be...
Simply...
Should not be.

Down with the Flow

Where would such tears go,
If not down river
Where souls end up?

Few are the days I've not tried.
But restless torments break easily.
My road should not deviate...

If for any reason but it's own.

So flow down.
And then...
Rise.

Mining for Dreams

Certainty declared in your face
of how the final act shall begin.

Relative is the theory:
Pain and thought.

For what could become the beginning
Is now the end.

You brought so much into this path,
And even saw the breaking that would cause.

Who could had been more wrong,
The miner or the mine?

Fool's gold will always shine,
So I leave you to dream alone.

Perplexed to what had happened.
Anxious of what went wrong.

It was that story I created...
With no intention but to adore.

In that story I abandoned...
With no intention to uphold.

At least you'll have your gold.
At least you'll get the memory.

But as far as it goes,
The pick is broken and the cart is gone.

The old miner is no more.

Fell into a Conversation

It's been a long day,
For no shine through my window came.

Deep inside this hollow shell...
No wanton rest laid.

I am the tallest of the hive,
But I feel not over the wall which I must climb.

Truth be told, there is much to cover...
There is much to shoulder...

Harmonics

And I will play,
Even after death.
Let my corpse be buried
And my notes...

They shall remain.

A Thought

Every dark hour has a reason

Understanding is our choice
Accepting is our challenge

Angel Fire

Have you ever believed you met an angel?
It was something just like that...
But it was a devil.

As a matter of fact, it was several devils.

This is that story...

Assaulted by promises of good time past,
Something no mortal can deny,
We followed the tail of an undetermined clan.
And yes, more than one easily got dragged.

Eaten, bitten and weakened,
The night drained away our sorrows.
Transformed into what the embrace of darkness wished,
We stalked the shadows, we danced the rhythms.
But most importantly, we drank our echoes.

Now we hold another truth.
One so different from the first.

Just like when you meet that damned angel,
Who turned out to be nothing but a sweet devil.

Walls of Time and Red Wounds

To break through this wall,
Every try, every breath,
Broken glare by glare.

Damned indifferent stare, looking down.

Doing that which breaks the most.
Doing that which breaks the host.

Think should tell the truth,
Far less painful from this side.
Shadowed mercy, never thanked for.

No.
No demon could deny.
It's sakki that flows,
The sense that runs.

Living cursed with your presence.
It will be my burden to bear.

No easy way to explain,
To undo the believes laid on.
The wait fell down chasing love.

Crashing violently...
Into my life...
Out of my life...

Now it's moving me along,
Fading away the shade of lost kingdoms.

What I want and what can happen
Will not be the same.
So acceptance is the only choice time will bring.

Time and time.
More time.

When will the clock wake up,
And realize that it goes too fast for us all.

Never too fast to escape your look, though.
Never too slow to make it go away quick enough.

Trapped between times of time.

When will the clock wake up...
When will this wall fall down...

Only time knows...

No Hope Inside the Jar (Dancing Bones)

Everyday again around the same old end.
Round and round walking, running, facing.

The outside seems so empty from within,
So square, so rigid.

But this jar is more than closed,
And no air seem come for most
Of those who venture share a glimpse.

So deny me, and this is where I end.

Inside the jar... inside the glass.

To see but not to touch or smell.
To hear but not to taste or care.

Inside the glass, inside the jar.

We go round the bottom.
Never ending.

Just like bottles.
Just like bones.
Just like bad old rum.

Rise Again

How many times must one fall to understand,
Life has a way of driving even patient men wild...

So again I rise...

Hanging on to what I have,
For it is the only thing left I can do...

Ghosts of Days Past

I know the landscape that I see
Growing up from one horizon to another...

They say love ain't fair,
'Cause I am feeling just fine.

So if the sun comes out this way
And you see it go the other,

Don't think this is not the truth.
I've been waiting, and won't stop.

Please believe me.

I just won't stop waiting.

RE: Letters to Elise

I don’t have tears to hold back

I knew it from long ago

That this would never be

The dream you wanted.

I won’t say more, I’ll just smile,

Because we obviously need more than this

But there’s nothing else we can really do.

The chances were blown away when given

And now we stand in this aftermath with no meaning.

Hell, girl, neither of us wanted this,

But in the end, it’s all we have now.

Nothing to say.

Nothing to do.

Nothing left to stand for.

Who's Calling?

Came inside today to find my solitude again
She is waiting day by day
Waiting for me to stay awake in this place
And fall asleep again

Why so sudden so dark
Calling me into the night

Give me just a little soul / To wrap again this dreams in hope
I can’t find the reason / To live this dream this day apart
Give me just one smile / And you’ll keep my heart tonight
Learn to breath away your sorrows / Tell me what went bad
Give me just some faith / And I’ll break away fear and pain
Waiting for the sunrise / My solitude awaits
