Midnight echoes

It’s another dayĀ 
another frame without you by my side
Yet I yearn to write a whole decadeĀ 
about smooching you all around.

Maybe I will fade into dreams
while your shadow touches my mind
All I want is to feel your presenceĀ 
stirring my heart before the morning chimes.

Let’s add wings to our tale
you can sing I will orchestrateĀ 
the verse will be about our distant journey
In melody, comes the tango we always anticipated.

With all our desires unfold
blooming sorrows will find their place
Now it’s my turn to surprise you
until your harmony prevails.

Surmise

Dream within dream awaits 
Dream after dream decays.

Wounds hidden in forgotten cries
ban on falling asleep remained intact
desperation is a nightmare 
but serene hope rains down the battle

New dreams are woven into old memories 
when reality wraps up the ending 
like sun falls in the closed sky 
as the careless sea crumbles on the concrete

Illusion continues shining the sky of mind
glitters the harmony of love 
a game of light and darkness begins
life startles with new colours

Dream after dream decays
Dream within dream awaits.

Of Unsound Mind

The in-between I came by
on the remains of the day
at the ark of lonely illusion
watching her shadow around the den.

Asking your place or mine at midnight
She said she’s lost inside.

Beyond the scruples I bid for love
asked her to dance, spin me around purple hearts
ā€œDon’t worry darlingā€ she said after that
what we gonna do next play dead or seriously red?

Moving on with the perfect delusion like the old way
sorry about the goofy red price we paid at the last runway.

Modern ways for the doom of love
no mercy no remorse as it’s remembered.
In the game of love
everyone is borrowed or somehow a prisoner.

Slipping into darkness shall we play more?
Anything is possible after shock so don’t make me go.

Never again manifest the daydream
don’t look up there for a lonely blue night
Unless the mist cleated the memories
how did we get here without saying goodbyes?
