Comeback Season

It aches to lock your treasures in a seed
And watch them suffocate, die and bleed
When you know
Its more than just a few.

It pains to be called a "washed up star"
No more than a "has-been"
When you know
It can come back any time to you.

But you don't know when...

When the yesterdays outshine tomorrows
Who can not point the irony?
When your actions alone can bring you joy
How can you count on destiny?

There's meaning behind everything
But it takes more than eyes to see.

There'll be a time for me to breathe
Don't know when.
There'll be a Comeback Season for me
I'll wait till then...

Being Human

They searched for me everywhere
Breaking all the signs and seals

Till I was read out
Written and quoted,
Demystified
and Decoded.

And as I felt them breaking in
I could feel my Humanity
Dying within.

They followed me everywhere
Chasing me behind my heels

Till I was cornered
All surrounded,
Silenced and robbed
and dumbfounded.

And as I saw them closing in
I could see my Humanity
Dying within.

They'll hunt you too
If you're not alert and known.
And when you're alone,
They'll push you off your comfort-zone.

They'll chase you, take you
Break your run
If ever you fall down to
Being Human

And I'll be there to join the fun...

Same Sky

Lives I cannot see, are the salt of my life
Breaths that are far away from me, are the reason why I stay alive
Eyes I haven´t ever seen, look right through me and see who I am
Smiles that are unknown to me, keep making me smile while I still can.
faces in unknown cities, give me my words and lines

Lifting me off my ground, they're my angels in disguise
I keep falling and failing, so do they too, but together we will fly high above
We'll still land safe in the grounds, even though our feet are scarred and rough."
Wherever those lives are, they'll still make me smile,
And even though we're miles apart, we still have the same sky.

This is my very first duet with a fellow poet and a dear friend Roccari . The whole thing was very unexpected and somehow we liked what we wrote together. :)

Tempted

Don’t push me enough
I’m already tempted to tell
I better stay by myself
I better stay hurt.
You’d want that as well
More than anything else

Words would spoil the signs and secrets
That would otherwise remain.
Revelations would only choke you to death
When you could breathe again

Simple secrets will become bitter truth
When you hear them
And you’ll know what you made me.
Hidden lies will become ugly scars
When you uncover them
And you’ll know I was never free.

Don’t push me enough
I’m already tempted to tell
I better stay by myself
I better stay hurt.
You’d want that as well
More than anything else

For All The Wrong Reasons

Why do we increase the distance
And then build bridges?
Why do we kill the purpose
And then resurrect it?

I'd still want to be somewhere close
Still a standing piece in the game.
I'd still want to keep running into you
Like a moth to a flame.

So why do you blame me
Put me to question
For All The Wrong Reasons?
When I'm only trying...

Why do we build dreams
And then detonate them?
Why do we suppress the screams
And them amplify them?

I'd still want to be a part of the scene
Still a little more than just a name.
I'd still want you to let me in
Like a moth to a flame.

So, why do you blame me
Put me to question
For All The Wrong Reasons?
When I'm only trying...

Sanity is exinct

You Didn't Notice

Footsteps faded away,
But we still kept walking.
Like distant sounds in the background,
Silence crept in.
There was no talking.
And You Didn't Notice a thing.

Time kept rolling,
But we kept standing still.
Like stings kept stretching,
Till they broke off.
The distance kept increasing
And You Didn't Notice a thing.

Curtains were drawn,
But our song kept playing,
Like silent humming backstage.
Credits rolled in.
Our musical had its climax,
And You Didn't Notice a thing.

Don't Let Them See Me Cry

Don't let them see me cry,
When the winds blow hard and drown me.
I'll come out when time will fly,
So long as I'm no more afraid to be.

Let me be in darkness for a while.
Don't turn on the lights,
So I can make some sense of the situation
And try putting up it with a smile.

Even though the smile won't be real.
They wouldn't know.
Just don't let them see me cry.

Don't let them see me cry.
