YOU

Your

Mind is to find

Lips are to whisper

Fingers are to find

Skin is to taste

My

Lips are to taste

Skin is to feel

Ears are to know

Soul is to lose

You

are to love

I

am to love you

Tell me

Was that your touch

Was that your breath
Were they your whispers


Tell me those were

just illusions


But tell me why


my skin's softer now
and my neck badly warm
and I'm comfortably yours

TASTE

Ever want to taste

what it tastes like

when I give you all I can

of a taste

you've never tasted it all

and you're never tasted at all

That was not me

That was not you

the wind on your skin

Against the wind

I stand

smell

all it's pouring on my face

all it's taken off you

all the way

for me

Off

Turn

Take

Get

Memoirs

All those

gone

and not come

exist

nowhere

but in some cells

that will die

someyday

but just let's see

if worms ever know

what's gone

and what's to come?

Illusions

My illusions

exist

in your illusions

Maybe

And yours

in mine

Maybe

Just illusions

Maybe

all that exist

Maybe

Alone

The sky above

Wings forbidden!

You're just steps to reach

Feet forbidden!

Bricks

Look at the sky

and it rains

joy for you

But look again

not that far

just far

as a head turn

Look at the sky

and it rains pain

for peaple there

Could be me

could be you

down there

simply

just if born there

Scissorhands

Don't want me touch your face

Wounds are all I leave for you

Have a look at my heart

though your hands were hands

not scissors like mine

Don't want me touch your soul

Healers have died

long before

Wish I could someday know

why or where

they hid my healing hands

Rain

Rain on me

I shall flow

Rain on me

I shall grow

Rain on me

You will fly

and I'll wait

for the winds

with a smell

of the rain

you once rained

Rain on me

and I'll rain

Clouds

Sorrows
rise
on your way
Your tears run
off your eyes
on your cheeks

It's not you
whom I knew
sorrows when
raise a wall
on your eyes
off the world



Is it fun
if it's sun
sorrows took
off my eyes
on my way?



Will it rain
shall I pray

The Lightning

Night

is again

Dark

is again

Pure

is you

Waiting

me

out

for you

Thunder

sounds

And you're gone!



It's raining...

Lost in words

I were there
-if-
you were here
-but-
when I got here
-now-
you're not there

Lie

where you should
beside me!

Once upon no time

After you
time
looks like
the earth
before man

I don' know
when I wake up

last time
was before I first met you
was your dream

MOSTLY

Mostly
when I find more I love you
I make love to you
and
Mostly
when I Make love to you
I find I love you more
and
It’s why you’re to me paradise
-the spring of-
and
You’ll never know
how lucky
who holds you
is

Say Hi

How's your Dream today?

Not bad, just dreaming the day
by the way
on the road
to the forest
of dreams
where trees stand
and dreams lie
for ever...

Say Hi to my dream!

WHO DO YOU

Who do you
think
you
are
I
am
they
are
and we could be?

Show me!

Show me the way
to the skin
to my hands

and
to what's under
to my soul
...
