Eternal Painted Melody

 

Carry on

the rhythm

of bubbling air.

Sing with the ocean wind.

Step on giggling sand

of the magic dunes.

The moments are there

to breath as twinned

with birds,

to fill the eyes with firebrand

and twisting tunes.

Embrace the streets

full of blimps of hearts,

make a wish,

send your ivy thoughts

to the chronicles of the eternal time.

Each glossy belief

will enrich the shine of stars,

the paradigm of life

is to add your miniature

to the giant canvas of space,

if you can, with chime.

 

 

Changing The Past

 

If only i knew

I would plant

two drops of crystal,

to see people more clearly today.

If I knew,

I would send two gray sparrows,

in front of your window

to cast out the clouds.

Only if i knew

I would raise

that little blue-eyed fox,

who watched me in the evening

from the bushes.

If I knew,

instead of a letter,

white river pebbles

I would write to you,

to build a room in your soul.

If I only knew

I would even that time,

I would have shown you,

that you are not alone.
