Adrift

High and far away
out on a coastal mountain silver reflection
water falls
from the yonder
hillside
Sinking in mud
I walk anyway
to the shore through a fog
of unclear thoughts
Feeling like an empty shell drifting on
aimlessly
in a dwam
it rains inside cascades on the wall hit my head
shower of tears
filled with glass
Why donʼt we all
go outside
and dfrift on aimlessly
once again
Float lightly
on a sea of stars hoping not to fall into black holes drawing us
distant jarring echoes
distance within myself

Lástima, a nadie

Running faster than you imagine
lástima a nadie
now is time to finally rest
playful spirit dancing warrior relentless fighter
now is time to finally rest

In your absence i will exist
diving within your quietness
In my sleep
weʼll meet in a dream
follow your voice where it comes from?
quiet whisper fading away
Diving within your quietness,
big thick sea of the unreal
in your absence i will exist
diving within your quietness

Arrival
03:36
|

|
At it
once again
sun is
no star out here
words
make sense no more
sliding in thin ice
I fall
Where are you from?
what’s your address?
show me
your passport
what brought you here?
please do
follow with me this way
wait until somebody
comes
Imaginary lines
can be so
hard to cross
created
to divide
and conquer us
Once again
the rain
riding
on freezing wind
speaks of sea and green
lights on the dark skies
above
Imaginary lines
can be so
hard to cross
created
to divide
and conquer us

Dark black

Day dream
in the sea
Your eyes emerge
dark black
I feel them
gazing
into my soul
Flower’s scent
flooding the air

Synecdoche
02:37
|
|||
|
Once more emptiness prey
need to wake up
go outside
take a walk
breath it out
Slowly growing
from my inside out
Microscopical beings
singularly magical
mixing of chemicals
One day
one shot
you will get to try
find a reason
to get up and fight
Mystery surrounds us
if you care
to look beyond
New sounds
colors
vibrate around
So it’s time
don’t give up
it is now
Slowly growing
from my inside out

The Counselor
05:44

|
Unrelenting from the start
the most subtle predator
comes for your
overbearing
One brief moment
of forestart
only an instant
lilliputian
in the furious current
of the river flowing
underneath
your standing ground
inaudible
Vibrations crossing
through the warm zephyr
melts in they long hair
that intertwines in me
Penetrating consciousness
fails to reach
my beating heart
There’s no need to run
there’s nowhere to hide
no need to believe
one sole certainty
overbearing

Your name
02:34
|
|||
|
Thank you
for staying up
your shadow is
glowing here
An atypical eclipse
unfolds
on a different body
Perception stretches out
under the sun
within us
Open long sight
reaching
to the horizon
Trying to hear your name now
in between the noise
that surrounds me
While i reach my left hand pocket
only to find sand
burning my
fingers
Open long sight
reaching
to the horizon
Your name calls me
gently in the wind blow

Some kind of hostile creature
who devours their only god
No looking back
neglecting their own kind
They live in the dark
only redeemed by themselves
go to church
say their prayers
Drowning their sins
in holy water dumps
All of us trying to survive
in what is left of this place
We want to know
where they’re hiding
Gloom skies set up on fire
smoke and rot
filling up the air
You may think you’re safe
but they’ll come
for you too
They live in the dark
only redeemed by themselves
go to church
say their prayers
Drowning their sins
in holy water dumps
