It's You...

You're my smile.

And a tear trapped in the corner of his eye.

You are my embrace of refuge.

And empty hands.

My "I'm fine" even when I'm not well.                               

You are my inspiration.

Song.

Verse.

And the incomprehensible between the lines.

You are my three points in the songs.

Never period.

You are my "to heaven."

Forever.

A promise that is not trampled.

You're my spring. April.      

Which is why I'm forgetting November.

You're my good night.

And when the night is all, it's just easy.

You are my first thought upon waking up.

And one last thought before the dream.

You are my pain.

And a cause of indescribable happiness.

Border,

Which is why no one

Never,

It won't get close enough to me.

I'm going to stay away from everyone, 

Even when I'm here.

You're my girl.

And the woman who lifts me high up,

It's like I'm a feather.

You're my painter.

The canvas is my soul.

She painted herself on it.

You're mine yesterday

Mine today.

My tomorrow.

You are my imaginary desire.

Prayer.

My "Take Care".

You are my conscience.

And common sense.

It's all mine.

It's just that you're not mine.

Of The Bright-Minded Muse 

Do you know that everything is mine, 

That you are all that I write, 

And hope for, and pray? 

You're the reason I exist and breathe.               

Did you know that the most beautiful verse 

You are the song of my life,  

It's my most beautiful rhyme, 

My ballad of love and happiness.          

You're everything 

Your heart has always wanted to have. 

Do you know that you are my joy

—an amulet that guards me from all evil? 

Do you know you're all mine

And pagan, and all that is sacred, 

That the morning of my day 

Thou art my morning sunshine 

And my clover dew full?                     

You are the meaning of my life 

And the strength and faith that runs through life

They lead me and carry me. 

Do you know, do you know

All I want is you, 

Everything I live for and fight for

Modern Times

Modern times, my friends.

Questions piled up about the reasons

Why is it that the unspoken never begins to be told?

Silence...

In the street, like chestnuts,

Envy and malice are being sold.

The squares echoed with malice,

To those who have lost their lives,

So why not get involved in someone else's work?

They gossip on the table every day.

Reheating it for dinner, 

They try to cover up the taste of their own failure. 

Excuses like dumplings in their throats stop.

And they can't swallow them.

On the other side of the pond are the accidents.

Modern times, friends

To stay normal today,

E Privilege

Of a few.
