Lighthouse

 Smoke
has air
in my room devoured
The space
became
an inquisition chamber
Day
will pass
And again tomorrow
Grayness, emptiness,
transparent sunlight

Like a withering plant
I am drying slowly
Can't find a dark
peaceful
corner to hide
Without your love
there is no sun
Only sorrow
The sound of your name
Is my prayer tonight

Thinking of your touch
I feel an electric current
I don't know where you are
And what you do

How can I find happiness
If you are its only mistress
Where should I go
So it's only me and you?

I can't take away
my heart
to stop its beating
Can't throw myself
from the window,
out from sight

In your eyes
only
I find the solace
I know my love
is so heavy to carry
And my words
fell
like snow from the sky.

Summer morning

Pale sunlight in the morning
Marks the most ephemeral time
The cool is retained from night
And everything yet is not too bright
There's no desire to rush or wake up
But it's a luxury to just stay still
And listen to the birds, sip slowly coffee
Sitting by the window in the kitchen
Marking the path of sun in the sky
As she spreads her arms closer and closer
You wish only quiet and solace
For once you are happy this isn't a city
For once you are glad that windows face East
Soon scorching heat will rule over the domain
The a/c buzzing will be necessary
Just to keep yourself alive and sane
When there will be time again
To observe in quiet the summer morning
With as much pleasure and care-free?
