Silent, Smiling, Near
take your time with
your imaginary lovers
their presence will always
make you crave for more.
wonderstruck admire them
getting dangerously closer
hoping to find
the missing words.
love them like a beast,
like a shadow of night
but when I rise next to you
love me like a white lunatic.
drink your cup full of emotions
then run to me before sunset.
shift back by the first glimpse of light.
pour us another cup of feelings.
I’ll be here, drinking with you
silent, smiling, near,
loving you long before time.
jealousy is merely a dusty chamber of my heart.

Butterflies
The reason and its logic
moving my holy ground
if something can go wrong
it certainly will.
Do I need to justify all this?
I discover how the heart works
projecting emotions
witnessing the worst scenarios.
I tell myself apart
illusioned by this fictitious life
caught inside
unfortunate reality.
Butterflies of unspoken beauty
but dreadful fading colours
seam to lay their pristine, peaceful and surreal unknowingly innocence
lodging themselves deep inside.
In the very membrane of all my insecurities I fall inside all abysses
black shadows crawling in my bones.
No butterflies, no angelic light,
just demons haunting my night.
