Tell Me
Tell me about it
and tell me more
but ask yourself
why
and open your
door
Give me your
smile
kaleidoscope of
lights
of colors and of
life
give me the
light of the sky
And I feel your
mind
I feel your
heart
let them feel me
and let me feel
of them
Take me soul
I give it to you
close the eyes
and let it slid
inwardly
We’re walking in
the world
shaking our
hands
with hope and
love
at last, with
joy
It isn’t too
late
to stay together
forever by now
if you want it
forever together
Silence And Peace
Forget the
history books
tear up the
Bible
silence the
sages
gag the
philosophers
expel the
analysts
silence rules
over everything
and now
everything is silence
Among the
smoke-blackened rubble
the gutted
schools
the destroyed
statues
the demolished
churches
only silence
still reigns.
The snow settles
slowly
the wind blows
softly
the stench of
death spreads through the air
evoking ancient
terrors
In this surreal
and malignant peace
that transcends
the boundaries of time
that annihilates
smiles and extinguishes hopes
the conscience
of humanity
remains enclosed
in a child's
tear.
