Late In Night

 

It is late in another one's night

mine is full of stars dripping tears

 

I will scramble eggs for breakfast

this peticular morning is so far but I still smell the dawn's aroma

while stars are dripping tears effortlessly

 

hopes and dreams building the ladder to the next sunshine

I hang on tight

while stars and tears are dripping slowly on my soul…

 

 

The Night

 

Please, come into the night with me

Come to ride the midnight's darkness

to touch the light that flows from dead stars

 

We live an endless lie

a hologram put in the scene by now dead suns

So, tell me now

How will you define reality

How will you define the dream

Is reality what remains from a dead dream?!

Recently, I've found out

that the ashes from a dead star form a new star

that explains why dreaming never ends

So, come into the night with me

the next galaxy is two dreams from here

 

 

The Dragon's Nightmare

 

I wish I've been a dragon lost somewhere in a castle

I wish I've been a dragon starring in the mirrors melting the midnight hours

with my breath

I wish  I've been a dragon flying over seas

finding nest in the princess's eye

 

Who else but a dragon can fall in love

with the wrong girl, in the worst moment

when the prince cuts his throat mercilessly

taking the girl as war prize

leaving the dragon in his own black blood

missing his flight in the princess's night

who else but a dragon could I wish to be

To spread my death all over the hollow hours of the midnight
