Not many personal sacrifices have I made
The cuts of my life show on a rusted blade
A simple honest man, not born to be a Tsar
Yet still my heart had room for one more scar

It’s strange to me why words can seem so deep
For what you sow you must not always assume to reap
The string of the bow decides if the arrow holds sway
I would relinquish tomorrow if you are here today

I continue to float aimlessly, lost as a listless cloud
For I would miss your smile in that lonely crowd
Passion cannot survive in a whirlpool of regret
For history is past but future would not forget

You impassioned my hope with feelings tenderly pure
What solitary fish ever passed by a beautiful lure?
Your request for my heart I could not resist
Why is it sometimes I wonder do you even exist?

So comfort deprived I endure when I stand and stare
What use a magical cupboard when shelves are bare?
No strength left have I to drink from the lovers’ cup
For I have swallowed my dream I no longer need to sup

For me true love could not abide to be bitter
Does not fools gold still sparkle and glitter
I did hold your heart for that moment in time
And for that I am blessed, for was it not sublime

This is translated from italian :/ hope it will make sense

You were for me once

For you who, in those December nights
at the moon, you open your sights
like a caress, you give me the
true image.
For you, the knot of my only fortune,
the only one who have crossed
alone, the black desert of my soul.

I will kiss your hairs
touched as violin strings
and the music of your soul

I will kiss your face
glowing above through
the darkness of my path

I will kiss your eyes
conjuction between venus and mars
in the summer time

I will kiss your lips
and they will smile on my wounds

I will kiss your chest
the drawned shape, backlit profile
featuring the scents whom i want to die

I will kiss your hands
delicate as clouds under the heavens
and will leave those to collect my fragments

I will kiss your belly
I'll get lost, will be my oblivion, doesn't matter
sweetly casted away in those unknown seas

I will kiss your sex
will wash away my reason with its motions
discovering the beast within me

I will kiss your feet
with their deceptive stealth
they drew staps that lead me
to the most remote corners of the unknown

Little black cloud
Dreary dark and pallid
Gazing down transfixed
Never seeing light
Back against the sun
Ever shining though obscured
Vainly expecting to be
Admired for persistence
In denying it's existence
Demanding to be seen
Attention sought by casting shadows
Everywhere.

Little Black Cloud
Grim and so insipid
Glaring and staring
Only looking down
Ever seeing only dirt
Projecting large and mighty
Really transient and flighty
Dreary pallor belied
The weary valor implied
Transparent in your darkness
A lofty void of substance
Only Air

Little black cloud
You darken the world
Your nature is such
You will be gone as you came
Leaving the world the unchanged
Giving no rain
Leaving no trace
Neither nourishing
Nor encouraging
Neither supporting
Nor thwarting
Merely vapor.

What would I do if it was bestowed upon me?
Use it wisely, could I save humanity
Would I be selfish, and hope for wealth
What good is money if I lost my health?

Could I save the Planet, turn all to green
No natural disasters would ever again be seen
What of the animals, don’t they deserve a chance?
To survive naturally, no death from mans lance

Would I cure all disease, no more pain?
I will cause overpopulation, not the earths gain
Would I rid our race of all the malice?
No more wars, living in an Ivory Palace

Should I make the Moon shine ever more bright?
No more darkness, just light, bringing sight
What of compassion, could I create this desire?
Would it banish the hate, rid us of our ire

So many choices, so many just reasons
Bring out the Sun, change all the seasons
Make the flora flower throughout the year
Bring happiness to all, no more shedding of tear

I am too indecisive the choice is not free
I now know for me this was not meant to be
I shall wrap it in a box, and send it to one so true
Have I told you today that I love you

Am I not the king within my virtual domain?
My own demons have I conquered, slain
I have sat in the breeze with gentle Lions
Wrestled the consequences of my own desires
Lived with many ire’s
Do I resent or anger at the greedy beast
He has more, should I have not least
I choose my pathway for I built the walls
That secluded you gaining my entirety
I cannot give you the pleasure of completeness
I remain aloft above the rising cloud of humility
I suffer not from personal ingenuity
For I have stroked the beast of my history
Dwelt in the passages of mental blindness
Broken down the walls within my Jericho
And tamed the Tigers of solitary illusion
I closed the rent, suffered my own conclusion
I built the windows of my sight
I made the castle
I enclosed around the moat
I made myself
For this I shoulder the blame
Nobody else will hold me prisoner
I ask no more than to be allowed to be myself

'Fisherman Lost at Sea'

Fisherman lost at sea
You never fear the Ocean
But you Fear me
The Ocean is where you are
Now cast out your Fishing Nets
And share the Catch with me
You are Hungry i know
For knowledge of the Sea
Let it be a lesson to you
Never to Fear me
I am the Spirit of the Sea
I can Toss your Boat into the Sea
But i would never do that to thee
As i know you Love the sea.
You Love the Ocean,you Love the Sea,
You Love Nature and what it might bring to thee
Did you catch anything
I am waiting to see
So bring in your Catch
And share it with me
The smell of the ocean
I bring it to thee
The waves i Hurdle
Against your Boat
But you still Fear me
I can smell your Fear
Because your time is near
To Follow me
Let it be a leson to you never to Fear me
The Spirit of the Sea.
I call upon thee
Never Fear the unknown
It will break you Free.

Drink from me my Angel
Feel nourished deep within
You shall come my beloved
We shall consumate our sin
We are both marble Angels
Alone within the night
Bodies close together
Within a flickering light
My hands caress your glory
As your hands caress mine
In this night we shall remember
The taste of Loves' sweet wine
Come my sweet Madonna
My flesh your fingers rake
Your lips upon each wound
As my blood once more you take
And now my sweet beloved
Like animals we strike
Your body joining now with mine
Just the way you like
Your lips on mine
Within our empty depths a burning fire
Can this be Love we have
Can It be passion and desire
Yes It Is all these
For we are two of the Vampyre
Gods' vengeance marble Angels
Who cry Loves' blood tear

I love
many things
a lot of things

It's the kisses
walks on the beach
her personality

I love
time spent with her
the smell of her hair

I love
lots of things
the way she

does for me
do so love
I love

the way
she loves me....

While morning 's light creeps silently
through the ivory curtain,
She awakens to the sound
of a red winged blackbird,
singing a haunting song of promises to come.
She reaches over and entwines
her fingers through his,
and contentedly listens to him breathe.
And as she watches him sleep, so blissfully unaware,
she bites her lip and wipes a way a single
tear.,
She quickly dresses and lets her self out,
Without so much as a glance behind her,
Someday it will be different,
she tells herself through tear stained eyes.
She'd almost convinced herself..
That this time she would stay.
