For days now,you’re far away
the sorrows and rains came and went by.The open doors waiting for you to come,even than the spring.I want you here more.
The sadness hurts like an open wound,your hug would give me two new wings.If you could see what mu eyes dream,you would
see your soulmate in me.

I drink my coffe,like always,alone.
Watching with sorrow,if there’s anu path.I left one return ticket,
in the pocket of your old,warm coat.

Come back,like once just from nowhere,don’t say a thing and give me your hand.Then I will know if you love me still,if the peace to my soul,in the end you’II give.


TO BE EVIL OR OR TO BE GOOD


That is a teeter-totter with no end.One whirlwind is enough,
from our face to wash the hatred.
On one side extravagance,on the oter prdt and poverty.Selfishness destroys the world ,knocks down the ground of society.


Hey,good people,you wake up,
the powder smell spreads in the air.If the flame of hatred blazes,
no one will calm its fire waves.
