The Deep Mystery
The planet that
welcomed us was beautiful
under the sun of
our last journey into space
The ravaged
unsalable landscape in front of us
transformed into
an oasis,
when naked we
faced the first day of creation
in its
unexplored territory
Why are we
spinning among the stars?
What are we
looking for,
waking up with
two green pebbles in our hands,
hearing the
beloved's song gurgling down
in the thirsty
bowels of the unknown planet?
Let's not talk
about lost hydrias
and the broken
statues of the firmament
since we didn't
see anything else
from our shadows
to the mirror of the Universe
Remember all
that we must not forget
now that our
colony is incessantly
swallowing the
fog of eternal night
The deepest
mystery of our love
in the palm of
our hands let it perch
I don't want
everyone to die alone on this hollow rock
on whom we were
so dearly loved as eternal lovers
The Dragon
Like all
dragons, I was born to hurt
My body is
scarred
from curses of
merciless witches
and from a hot
stamp of my ultimate role,
the safekeeping
of precious treasures
Like all
dragons, I find tiny
my generous
heart
I fall in love
with
words of love
and a subtle kiss
Like all
dragons, I'm free,
I have dipped my
tongue in the fire
and a muffled
roar at the mouth
Like all
dragons,
I stalk people
and follow them
They think that
will kill
my desires with
a sword
They keep
blaming me to cover
their own
unspoken fears
Death for me is
the slavery
Whenever this
also happens,
I offer my invincible
body with devotion
only to the
dragon fighter who will love me
What Am I Looking For Here?
What am I
looking for here?
Following the
silence,
I reached this
colorless planet
Now my sadness
hides in the breaths
of my pain and
anguish
Now electrified
rain licks my dreams
What am I
looking for here?
I followed the
hope and
reached on this
inhospitable rock
I hold in my
hands
the indifferent
darkness of ignorance
and the passion
of soul-destroying mysteries
Poisonous gases
caress my forehead
How many dreams
nested
permanently in
my memory?
How much life I
fought
to keep inside
me?
I don't know
and I don't want
to know
My New Colony
With the wings
of my starship
I passed by the
stars of space
I touched the
heart of infinity
I boldly opened
the gate of the interstellar void
I finally
arrived at a strange exoplanet
in deep of
another galaxy
Everything
seemed nicer, more hopeful
and the unknown
darkness
and the
unprecedented sunlight
I landed there
in the red desert
of an unfriendly
planet
I walked up
there
on the surface
of new dreams
I slowly turned
my gaze away
to a brilliant
world of new desires
full of
expectations, empty of betrayals
of days gone by
I was introduced
to the arrival of a new hope
Up there on the
edge of the impossible
I established my
new colony
Don't Feel Sorry For Us
Somewhere in
time
we used to keep
the banners of
glorious days with cut hands and bruised knees
In the great
battles
we were riding
dragons
and transformed
the walls of the
enemy
in burning ruins
Now we wait in
the deserted corners
your meager sum,
but somewhere in
time we traveled
from dream to
dream
from lust to
lust,
from hope to
hope
having in our
pockets
untold riches
We were passing
the richest
empires
and we were
filling our bags
with valuables,
greed and passions
Now don't feel
sorry for us
We remained
living dead
among you
but we sweated a
lot for it
