I'm Not Afraid
I’m not fear the
eternal night
I travel in it
for many centuries
I have conquered
blooming stars,
unknown planets
I have escaped
from the lusty mouth of black holes
I cried for my
lost dreams
I escaped from
the shackles
of meaningless
desires
I danced madly
with the shadows
of my passions
I wandered
through the dimensions
of timeless
searches
I smelled the
smell
of absolute
fear,
of nightmares’
stinking breath,
of the war’s
pain
I'm not hiding
anymore
from the
bottomless darkness
I'll search into
that
the truth of the
first day of my reborn life
We Could
It could happen
sometime
even to us
lost one’s space
travelers
It could happen
some day
even to us
the strange
hunters
of the mysteries
of the Universe
It could happen
at some point
even to us
the scholars of
strange mysteries
of an unrevealed
truth
We could hug
our brothers in
conspiracy
and humbly lead
them
on the planet of
eternal love
We could live
all together
in a world that
will not have
suffering,
sorrow, pain, hatred
We could be
someday real people
The Book Of Your Life
You read the big
book of your life
In the heat of
reading
they bloom in
your breast
lilies and
hyacinths,
smiles of
mythical horizons,
the embrace of a
spring girl,
the rain of
dreams
You study your
history
which has not
yet been written
Legends of
beauty and lust
for
unprecedented worlds
they grow around
you,
banishing
analgesia
of indigestible
times,
the absence of
the heartless Winter
that others laid
in you,
the impasse of
destinations
which others
have ordained for you to follow
You run behind
words
who struggle in
vain to escape you,
carving into
your mind and heart
meanings you
didn't know existed
Your book is
arriving on its last page
You raise your
head
but your wings
they are no
longer broken
Your tomorrow is
starting to gain
shape and form
Your soul will
no longer be idle,
weighing your
book
the beneficial
in messages of hope
You type with
fervor on your computer,
trapping in it
the body of infinity
I Remember
I remember the
now broken promises
of the heavenly
abyss
how will i ever
conquer
the planets of
my dreams
the improbable
worlds
of the sky which
they filled
my soul with awe
and hope
how it will
flood my being
with their uncontrollable
light
But I was afraid
that, will lead
to suffocation
my immense
happiness
I felt exposed,
uncovered, naked
as with a
mechanical horse
I galloped
inland
of my desires
Now I have
committed
the crime of
complete failure
of my most
lustful pursuits
Anyway, I've
given up from any liability
for their
abandonment and loss
Only the night
is guilty
and eternal
darkness
Now I will
disappear too
in one last
breath
of the criteria
for a pure,
purified life
