Endless Long Nights

 

Endless long nights,

Which get me thinking awake

Show me your charms and powers

My quests not to be left in vain...

Let the moon roam the sky,

To flirt with the stellar swarm,

Light the lost butterfly's way,

To see his love once again.

Endless long nights,

Which swirl the wind through the space,

Show me the way I could go,

Without asking me anything.

Leave me a deserted dream,

At least for a moment,

When I can't say a nice word,

The best is to silently go somewhere...

Let me see the trails of childhood

and the desolated shores,

And a sad bird as it spreads the wings through the night.

Some thoughts caught my mind,

So, I don't know what I have missed while wandering.

Sleepless endless nights,

Why don't you leave me alone?

A time of delusion has gone,

And I'm still awake dreaming in your lap.

 

 

The Moon Got Tired

 

The moon got tired,

From the long wanderings through the blue vault,

From the heavy sighs of the nocturnal birds,

It knows well I am not with you,

Still looking for your smile...

...in the multitude of faces.

The stars are tired of searching,

From the sound of the waves,

And the low sound,

The trees got tired of whispering,

Wind-borne,

And yet,

Every word is like a message.

The paths are tired of the footsteps,

Mercilessly being walked on,

The patch of grass hiding in the darkness,

Not letting the dream ovewhelm it...

I got tired of many questions,

To which the heart seeks answers,

Awaiting a new dawn,

As thoughts struggle with uncertainty.

Where are you...?

Whose windows are you observing...?

 

 

Tonight

 

I dreamed this night

of your gentle kisses

In our meadow

 in a green grass,

How to wake me

up with warm kisses

While the wind swings blue

cornflower.

I dreamed of your tender hands

A passionate embrace,

a restless soul

How it sighs,

A stream of luck

which bubles in veins

And field flowers

 that smell on you

...

But it was

a dream in a dream,

A dream dreamed

like in reality,

I was flooded with

 the fire of love,

 An unselfish feeling

Which only knows

 heart to heart

To bestow...
