The Fading Light
My life is coarse
like sand in a dune,
and like the waves
of the Dead Sea
I'm always floating.
Questions of worth
and some of merit.
They ask for money,
jewelry, fame,
but never for soul.
And I keep fading
because this is tiring to me.
But I never die,
so why am I still dying?
Pledge to Your Smile
I'd be the Orpheus
who didn't look back.
I'd be the burning Icarus
if you'd be my Sun.
The monster growling at night,
to his dearest lost love
whom he might find in death.
May he be me in another life.
Because all of mine
is no mere blasphemy.
I'd give you my heart, my soul,
and all in me.
Come, indulge me in your laugh,
love, and my fantasy.
Let me see your blood,
and be one with it.
And may I ever look back—
my dear Eurydice,
let me die a loving man.
I Hope You Like Coffee
My dear, it's early morning,
may I always see your eyes.
And your brightest smiles
that I adore.
And I hope you like coffee
so we can enjoy together
the dark light before morning,
and the white lights of after dawn.
The Day After Tomorrow
Every face and its wrinkles,
every story of love
forged in blood.
The parents of lovers
and themselves.
All a mythology of someday,
all the philosophy or ever
and never.
So let the sculpted faces
be of some future person,
not from the past ones.
Let the revolution be pink,
and murder green.
Let the fun be black,
and love in vain.
