Prayer To LovePrayer To Love

Aimlessly colour-blind
In world of grey
Chained in my arms
You've no chance other than stay

Here in this bed
Far from regret
Warmed by the thread
Of secrets better left unsaid

Eyes shine like coal
Digging a hole
In sheets that now contain your soul

While hungry wolves and fingers prowl

On nights like this
When lonely wind keeps weeping
I pray for love to find you sleeping

Here by my side
One time after another
First like my lover
And then like my brother

Wordless RhymesWordless Rhymes

Midnight paints the whole world black
Angel's wings as well as lies
You get all in one pack
That my restless hand supplies

Warm avalanche of my hair
Curtain to make vision blur
Forbids audience to stare
At where secrets now allure

You stay quiet, baby, hush
Just surrender to my lips
Tonight there's no need to rush
When I hold on to your hips

From my tongue slip wordless rhymes
Let them slide across your skin
I'll taste you a thousand times
From your thighs up to your chin

Although sometimes I am rough
And my nature makes me tease
Of that you can't get enough
Moan with pain, then sigh with ease

When you suf

Stitched LipsStitched Lips

In front of you I'm powerless
Wind's breath lost among willows
So it's only my pillows
To whom love I can confess

Sometimes I wish to disappear
My voice and hands do tremble
Then all I do is ramble
On my own and swallow tear

So bitter compared to a kiss
I once hope to deliver
Sultry, yet tender quiver
Will provide that I won't miss

Until then I'll keep my lips stitched
Reveries my heart feeding
At least dreams won't be bleeding
For their treasure have been ditched

Blisters And BlissBlisters And Bliss

Though city lights show pavement gleaming
In hidden corners tears are streaming
A broken heart to purify

Heretic thoughts tempt righteous falling
While sin viciously keeps on strolling
Some twisted truth to testify

Each day new hand the old replaces
And soon the crowd counts thousand faces
All of them turned the other way

Who is to blame for rage tormenting
That seems to never be relenting,
Dreams those don't make it through the day?

Though world's dark shadows keep deceiving
To save yourself don't stop believing
In word that carved in gold stays plain

And like an angel's wing defending
Brings bliss, hope

A Heretic's PsalmA Heretic's Psalm

His features shows me every face
I meet in crowd of empty space
Long ago I have lost control
Merciful devil, bless my soul

My eyes give his figure a smack
Leaving stigmata on his back
Draw him nearer's my only goal
Merciful devil, bless my soul

Darkest night to me reveals trace
To Lune's cold silver ears I howl
Deliver him to my embrace!
Merciful devil, bless my soul

Here I stand, hailing deities black
Begging them to hallow my prowl
Make him mine, let me meet my rack
Merciful devil, bless my soul

RehabRehab

Ubiquitous sense of failure
Drills holes into what was soul
Content, tranquil waterfall
That swallowed both ships and sailors

Moments of true pain brought panic
An acute need to restore
What once was, will be no more
Artificial, anorganic

Indecisive premonition
Blurs the simplest truth's reflex
Leaving blistered faith perplexed
For false prophet's recognition

Arrows wasted on star chasing
Just bare hands for self-defense
Sinner's zeal's the most immense
Eye-corners with wrinkles gracing

Mermaids And CastawaysMermaids And Castaways

I wandered up through clouds above
Marched deep into bottomless sea
To find the missing part of me
Looking for what they label "LOVE"

I asked rocks along dusty road
Pleaded birds flying in blue sky
To help me tell the truth from lie,
Read what lines in a palm do bode

How will taste smooth and tender lips
Those to me still remain unknown?
Answers are leaving me alone
Sundial suffers from eclipse

Maybe love's voice echoes in chest
Like sea does murmur in its shells
When dainty mermaids whisper spells
To make us - castaways - feel blessed

A Dreamer's OdysseyA Dreamer's Odyssey

My suitcase got lost
During the last astral travel
Still beauty is the baggage
We all need to bear

My heart keeps longing
For dancing among stars
But I've never flown
A paper aeroplane before

You offer me fuel
Although there's no map
Except for the cryptic signs
Hidden underneath your clothes

Is there anywhere else
To find comforting arms?
Is there a world
Beyond this room's door?

Maybe you're some kind of
Narcotic digression
From the paths been walked
By my aching feet

Like hemlock
That unlocks
Fields full of four-leaf clovers
You take over

Dogwood RoseDogwood Rose

My dogwood rose, you jewel of the field
Don't rack my heart, please to my arms do yield
Trust I've seen one too many orchids gold
But what abounds in you they don't behold

You fragile beauty growing near the brook
Don't be mistaken by feathers of rook
To stranger's eyes I appear rather blunt
But in my black chest beats heart valiant

Oh, flower marked with summer's warmest scent
Can't you see how your fate with mine does blend?
To perish upon your petals I crave
This world for me hasn't a sweeter grave

Brothers And RivalsBrothers And Rivals

Fellowship of winter winds
Dandy boys riding wild horses
They laugh out loud
When upon men they cast their spell

While on maidens they rather pout
And whistle in the night
Chasing one another playfully
In everlasting games of their ancient youth

I meet them on vast frozen fields, as well as in narrow streets
No matter how far I run, they're always in my steps
To press their subtle bodies against mine
I feel their arms around my waist

Their hands rest on my cheeks
On my skin they let rose buds bloom
And lean toward me to inhale
Scent of flowers they just created

Brothers in mischief, rivals in love they

What Men Must DoWhat Men Must Do

Our love profane will make you pay
For every note of laughter
Greedy for saliva and sweat
Eventually your tears

Born to circulate in fountains
Where after climax follows downfall
Splashing on little Cupids
Who keep pulling on their devilish tails

Lies taste so sweet sliding along
The tongue teasing your ears
Although they are just remakes
Of songs you've heard before

Deliver music to fellow men
And women for that matter
Kisses profound like a merry-go-round
Shall haunt you in your sleep

While half-burned words on pages blank
Fill fireplace with weep
My lonely grieving hands there delve
Smudge ashes on

Where Storms Come FromWhere Storms Come From

In these arms of mine you would
Have searched for light of dawn
But in the game of love
Every king becomes a pawn

Knight's shiny armour rusts
And burning passion chills
What previously saved our lives
Now recklessly kills!

Who is now to say to me
Oh, sweet brother of mine,
Where storms do come from
And what truth dwells in wine?

Love - both punishment and crime
Slowly fading away
A riddle meant to stay unsolved
Until our dying day

Chorus:
Tell me how to stay whole
When it rains in my soul
Things go out of control
After first teardrops fall

Fears of past standing tall
Bleeding wounds they recall
W

The CrusadeThe Crusade

Your fingertips imprinted
On plaster of my skin
Your curves upon mine tilted
About to commit sin

Room enveloped by darkness
Only your pale skin shines
As you cover my bareness
Arms become clinging vines

If my body is temple
Then may you be my priest
You, boy who's lips now tremble
Inside him roaring beast

So let your prayers tender
Now echo in my ears
To your sword I surrender
Quench thirst with virgin tears

Gathered in silken goblet
Yearn's my reason for crying
Get drunk with every droplet
Of boiling holy wine

I feel your pillars harden
Right after they touch ground
Exploring secret garden
For treasures to

Beyond HorizonBeyond Horizon

Come, take my hand, sweet little boy
Let's run as fast as lightning
To place filled with laughter of joy
From nightly visions frightening

Keep creepy shadows on the walls
And ghosts behind the curtain
Go with me soar through open door
To where there's no more hurting

The morning star will bless our skies
No vicious smirks of demon
Dust on the road will heal the eyes
And poor wounded heart bleeding

Don't be afraid of anything
Hidden beyond horizon
Just make sure to not loosen grip
On hands of angels guiding

Daughter Of Ancient GodsDaughter Of Ancient Gods

I am a wishing well
Hiding dream's murkiest depths
Born of winter's pure breath
On drifter's wrinkled face

A mayfly's memory
Of warm June afternoons
Those will not ever come
Or vanished much too soon

I am a pearl in mud
A diamond in the dirt
The storm-clock ticking fast
A song you've never heard

High-priestess from the past
Caring for gods' delight
Vow quietly pronounced
In temple of the night

I am a raven's claw
Spirit you'll hardly tame
A Vestal warrior
Healing wounds with a flame

Silent dove's crying eye
Hurts me more than a sword
Stars, mist and foliage
Build my eternal fort

Children Of The StormChildren Of The Storm

Night after day clouds draw blueprints
Of promises we should not repeat
Mistakes of those before us
Threaten we'll get burned and then retreat

However, we exchange kisses aloud
So carelessly proud of love
That to world is but a thorn in the heel
As if it was a shame to feel...

Sweet moments are meant just for rent
Cunning books viciously say
While subtle faces give us sour grins
Then quickly look away

Is this what we've been searching for?
I neither know nor care
What matters at the end of day
Is whether you are there

I don't mind if sky's overcast
May rain fall down with walls
In your arms I found h

Fair TradeFair Trade

What if yesterday is all we have?
One day worth ten years

In auction of souls
Time's both merchandise and currency

Sometimes less is more
Though it never seems enough

Still we're keeping score
While our purses are starving

In time of need I love you
Hard and even harder

Wittingly unaware
Of the bills to pay

Dilemma

Dilemma

Reach through the bubble
Orbits of shooting stars
Too flawless to be real
Those perfect circles suffocate

Crush the dormant fear
Memories of tomorrow drip down oh so loud
In a world where corners have not been invented
You're standing in your tears of joy

Or maybe it's another boy
Who offers you a scared gaze
From the mirror
Do you still wish truth's voice to sound clearer?

many times it happens we don't feel content, although we have all that we wanted or even more than that... then it's time to ask ourselves, whether things really are what they seem
happiness costs sincerity
