The Leaf

The tree is there,
Under a grey sky
The leaf remains there,
Fighting against the winds.

It is the last leaf of the Autumn tree.
It is the last spark of hope in my life.

Through your veins,
The sap I need runs
In your soul and heart,
The strength to remain

It is the last spark of hope in my life.
It is the last leaf of the Autumn tree.

The leaf in its last filament
Sways uncertainly pleading life
My life goes through days
Hazily to reach your light

Thought

It's raining again in my heart. It is making it all wet through and vulnerable to the changes of season when birds start flying away. But I do not want my bird to fly away from me though I cannot and I don't want to trap my wild bird in my grasp. No, I will not do it unless my gorgeous little wild bird wants to nest in the palms of my hands. It is not a game only I have to play, this is a game for two. And both decisions must be respected, so I have made up my mind but I do not think I am as wild as my little bird is... I am afraid, I am afraid northern summer finds me alone and unloved.
This dangerous game of love we play, we think we win only to lose. I want to disagree, I want not to lose, not this time. Why can't I be the exception to this rule?

Why...

Why should you keep me so low?
Why should you paint a smile on me?
Why should you make me cry?

You came to me so suddenly
and as suddenly you were gone
You looke at me so sweetly
and as sweetly you said goodbye

Why should you do this to me?
Why should you keep me so low?
Why should you paint a smile on me?
Why should you make me cry?

You talked to me beautifully
and as beautifully you broke my heart
You walked by me so friendly
and as friendly you stole my soul.

Why should I suffer this?
Why should I stay low?
Why should I smile?
Why should I cry?

Maybe because I love you....

You are the one I once liked
and now you are not here
You are the one to keep
and now you are not here
You are the rising sun
and you are not now here
You are the falling rain
and you are not now here
You are the shiny rainbow
and now you are not with me
You are the blossoming rose
and now you are not with me
You are the eyes I looked for
and now you are far away
You are the voice to hear
and now you are far away
And I still wonder why

Flameless heart


So when did you come into my heart?
So when did you steal my fragile soul?
So when did you blow my breath to end?
So when...

So why did you light my flameless heart?
So why did you feed my so spinny mind?
So why did you fasten my beats?
So why...

So what shall I name you?
So what is this between you and me?
So what have I got to do next?
So what...

So how did you manage to brighten me?
So how did you thunder my eyes?
So how did you sweeten my days?
So how...

So where do I post my love now?
So where do I sleep on Friday night?
So where will the telephone ring today?
So where...

Tell me when, and why, and what, and how, and where to fly.
Tell me where, and when, and why, and what, and how I live after you.
Tell me how, and where, and when, and why, and what I'll drink.
Tell me what, and how, and where, and when, and why you danced away.
Tell me why, and what, and how, and where, and when you will be back.
