The Rain Before Sunset

This poetry book is dedicated to those who’ve been hurt and in need of a way out

CLOUDS

Welcome

Welcome to the world

where few really sleep

where few care about words

where few dive deep

You have seen too much

like everything’s wrong

even everyone you know

to no one they bow

In the sea of apathetic society

you crave something more

that’s when it becomes clear

heavy heart is screaming

Hard Life

Trying to get up earlier

days passing by just like that

they’re spinning inside the head

terrible visions, premonitions

preventing the light into the eyes

Can’t get it out, can’t stop it now

a noise covering all other sounds

banishing all much-needed advices

nowhere to go, nowhere to crawl

I want to be found here again

Hard, it’s getting hard, overwhelming

this life of mine, lessons after lessons

need some help to put the puzzles in order

to get it right, to put everything in its place

to solve the mysteries that keep bugging

Knowing it’s so easy to make a dream

but not to make a move, not at all

maybe I shouldn’t have let my past

dictate the way my future will be

should try to break through instead

No Motion

Look at them now

struggling for attention

an artificial one

their heads bowing

with no motion

staring at the screen

Soul screaming inside

a turmoil inside

This is a long distance

this is a long distance

they are here

but they seem so far

destroy all these wires

invisible wires

Can you see what's hidden there?

love, something we can not replace

a good old kind of communication

we all need

Real Trials

In the past few years you were stuck in genuine joy

living a lovely life, having lively friends around

you went through ups and down no matter what

but still, nothing can scare your defiant soul away

It was beautiful

beautiful indeed

Growing older, in
