While you sleep

black skies cried
i basked under lonely tears
lightning tore up my world
while you sleep

i swirled and twirled
hurricanes carry me away
and put me in a void
while you sleep

roads disappeared
the air abandoned me;
i struggle to live
while you sleep

i chased the moon and stars;
but the sun freezed
when you closed your eyes
too see eternity.

the rose



The Rose

i tried to reach you
but eternity divides
only the petals lay upon
you
against the harsh cold glass

everyday i lay a rose
the ones you offered me
to caress you, to cling to you
i long to do
but eternity divides

i tried to reach you
but destiny did not understand
i search for you among the clouds
through the roses
that gaze upon heaven.

a poem to my father from my mother that i have put into words
