SIMPLY HUMAN

I’m counting to five
While trying to deny
The pains I invite
But feeling contrite
I am …  I am simply human

One… Two… Three… Four… Five

It’s hard to skip the past
When I crave for a smile
In the mirror . . . I should think that’s my bad

I need you by my side
We could try, cause despite
My wrong deeds
We can heal if you are willing

It’s not easy to ask forgiveness
When our faults mean serious business
And it’s hard to see
What might be right or wrong . . . who am I to judge?

My mistakes have filled the shallow
Of my soul and helped bridge the trials
Of hurting someone or being hurt some more
(But that’s not what I sought)

I’m counting to five
While trying to deny
The pains I invite
But feeling contrite
I am …  I am simply human

My mistakes filled the shallows
Of my soul and helped bridge the trials
Of hurting someone or being hurt some more  
(But that’s not what I had sought)

I am …  I am simply human

FIRE SEEDS
Video: https://youtu.be/CzhV2GT9nUY

Don’t look back
The fire’s raging wild
Run away till 
you find one hidden creek

And when you’re there
You can expect to believe
You can breathe

Wade the waters
Once you reach
The other side
You will see

It’s not good to be in the middle of fires
Cause fires burn and leave ugly scars
Much better to escape than to fry
If they call you a coward
Just tell them: so, what?

Just wait, believe it
When the fire’s out
You can come back

The ground will cover
With a blanket of ash
That will fertilize the land

***


	
And once you’re back
You’ll be able to plant
fire seeds

They grow fast so you can strive
To be free
And harvest fields
 
It’s not good to be fighting all fires
Cause fires burn and leave deeper scars
Much better to win than to fry
If they call you a coward
Just tell them: I’m glad.

Just wait, believe it
When the fire’s out
You can come back

The ground will cover
With a blanket of ash
It will fertilize the land

Don’t stay in the fire
The fire seeds will sprout
And bloom fast

And you’ll be back!

DEPTHS OF OUR MINDS

The rain pours down
We hide in the cellar

We turn the lights off
Embrace
Will make love till dawn

Baby, when you kiss me
I wish I could, freeze the night
The warmth that’s in your body
Melts my heart, drives me mad! 

The storm will pass
The stars will shine
Will leave the night
Crying goodbyes

Could the future make us part ways
At the end of the night?
Hope the rain keeps falling down, down
And buys us more time
	
Cause this stormy weather
Is the glue that binds, our passionate hearts
Your sweat is the elixir
That inflames my desire, drives me so mad!

The storm will pass
The stars will shine
Will leave the night
Crying goodbyes

Could the future make us part ways
At the end of the night?
Hope the rain keeps falling down, down
And buys us more time

But no matter what tomorrow finds
If our love cannot go on
We’ll always be together
In the depths of our minds

Depths of our Minds

UNDECIDED
She was mine
I felt relaxed
Then you came
And spun her mind around
Can’t deny
I dropped the ball
While you brought her
Excitement
Then came the time
For her to decide 
what to do
next
She was
Surfing our hearts
Navigating riptides
Undecided
We both dragged her
Way too hard
Damn
She was undecided
We were so misguided
But nothing else mattered
When she ran away
[]
	What she did
Was just her right
She found herself
In the end
She didn’t need your charm
Or to live by my side
With no life 
She was
Surfing our hearts
Navigating riptides
Undecided
We both dragged her
Way too hard
Damn
She then decided
We were so misguided
Cause nothing else mattered
But her happiness

Undecided

FLOWERS AND TOYS

My liberation
I can tell you now
It’s not for me

I’d rather have your love
Than empty expectations
I hate to wind the clock
While I’m alone

Waiting for the hour hand
To tell me I can phone
So I get to touch your dreams

With trepidation
I wish to kiss your lips
But you are not here

I know with zero distance
We would have some complications
But I’d rather take the chance of being there

And when the arduous ride
Brings me by your side
I could dream your dreams
	
If you allow me
I’ll bring flowers and toys
Your children be mine
I will give them my love

To be with you
I’ll become a grown up
In no time
I hope that you will forgive…
My hesitation

It’s my intention
Staying in your lives
Once I’m there

Building a new home
Invites my fascination
Don’t think I was a coward
I was undone

But now I’m certain
That you are more than your own
We’ll live the lives
That we are all dreaming

LOVING INFERNO

I said I loved you
Didn’t say I owed you
There was no need
For you
To run away

I was just reaching
For the lightness
in a loving inferno
with two free flames

If you come back
I’ll prove one thing
I was not to steal
Your liberty

When telling you 
My desires
You wrongly believed
My intention
Was keeping you on my grip

I needed you for a heartbeat
I always could see
You are a bird
Mean to be free	

Cause I just want you
The way I found you
Can’t you see?
I’m in the one 
Enslaved

What are the chances
You’ll share the madness
Of a loving inferno
To transcend?

When telling you 
My desires
You wrongly believed
My intention
Was keeping you on my grip

I needed you for a heartbeat
I always could see
You are a bird
Mean to be free

Loving Inferno

BRAIN OF SAND

It's not about getting
A feather on my cap
With gusty, dusty winds
I have to rub my eyes

I’ve heard with blindness
Our heads can turn to sand
I won’t allow
This to happen, I won’t be
a brain of sand

Traffic’s too brisky now
To march on highways
I could become roadkill
I don’t mind

I can’t escape my fate
If I’m just being guided
For once I must stand up
Even when I’m wrong
If I’m wrong

I’d rather be a fool
Handing out flyers
If people throw them out
They'll feed the liars
	
I’m not riding a
Rocket to the sky
Just a ballon
With a safer place to land

My own ambition
Is having on my side
What science is calling
A healthy state of mind
And not a brain of sand

Traffic’s too brisky now
To march on highways
I could become roadkill
I don’t mind

I can’t escape my fate
If I’m just being guided
For once I must stand up
Even when I’m wrong
If I’m wrong

I’d rather be a fool
Handing out flyers
If people throw them out
They'll feed the liars

Brain of Sand

ALWAYS BEEN A FIGHTER
You may think I’m fishing in a puddle
Living in a muddle, afraid to sink
I’m casting lines without hooking a bait
Don’t wanna catch a damn thing

Come right here and witness my hollow deeds
And getting nothing gives me peace

Cause you see, I’ve always been a fighter
And even when succeeding, I didn’t win
Not much in life is a zero-sum game
I realized this when it was just too late

Many I harmed, I have come to believe
Could have been my friends

And though some battles were worth fighting for
I needed wisdom to know which ones were wrong
Now I’m healing faster on my own
If you care to join me, I’m alone

Either way, was searching for the heavens
But I settled for a sky full of stars
I’ll reach for them in freedom escaping my fate
And whisper “here I am”, while shining like them

The only ambition in me is just not to care
That love like shooting stars is rare

And though some battles were worth fighting for
I needed wisdom to know which ones were wrong
Now I’m healing faster on my own
If you care to join me, I’m alone

Always been a fighter

Lyrics

I saw the devil
With a mocking smile
And he remembered
In 1999

I told my sister
“The future’s looking bright”

She wasn’t sure
And told me I was not right
Cause the world’ still
Under probation
“The world’s at peace
And nothing seems so bad”,
I said,
“There’s Y2K
And nothing else to mind”

“The devil’s coming
And things will get so wild”
My sister warned me
And told me to hold tight
And here we are
Stealing years
Like a gang of hapless thieves
Not knowing where we are
Nor where we want to be
Yet, we walk like happy scouts
In this millennium
And the devil
Can say goodbye
Cause we’re all right

We had tsunamis
The towers coming down
some bloody wars, pandemics
financials crashing down

And says the devil
The millennium is looking fine

My sister warned me
And told me to hold tight

Cause the world’ still
Under probation

here we are
Stealing years
Like a gang of hapless thieves
Not knowing where we are
Nor where we want to be

Yet we walk like happy scouts
In this millennium
And the devil
Can say goodbye
Cause we’re all right

We had tsunamis
The towers coming down
some bloody wars, pandemics
financials crashed down

And says the devil
The millennium is looking fine

My sister warned me
And told me to hold tight

Cause the world’ still
Under probation
And here we are
Stealing years
Like a gang of hapless thieves
Not knowing where we are
Nor where we want to be
Yet we walk like happy scouts
In this millennium
And the devil
Can say goodbye
Cause we’re all right

I saw the devil . . .

A FLIGHT TO ANYPLACE

I took a flight to any place
Found out that people are the same
Lovers in Paris dream and kiss
The same as those in Rio

And we don’t know what to say

And when a child looks at the sky
The stars above give earth a glance
Nations and people blend and form
The face you see in your mirror

And can we guess what’s on your mind


Come up and lend a good hand
And share the love and not the sorrows
No need for passports in our hearts
Will you ignore those who won’t follow?

Their minds got lackadaisical
Ear-to-ear geodesical
The thing is fear drives them around
Let’s hope they’ll soon rebound

And when a wave breaks in the reefs
What’s with the water sprinkling rain
Mothers in Mumbai love their kids 
the same as those in Reno
And we pretend we are not the same


Come up and lend a good hand
And share the love and not the sorrows
No need for passports in our hearts
Will you ignore those who won’t follow?

I took a flight to any place



A Flight to Anyplace

MONKEY IN THE CIRCUS

Bye, bye, bye, Lady
Let us understand maybe
The kids are grown
It’s time for goodbyes
Once I’m not around, blame me

When we meet again
I won’t let your face
Damn my purpose
It’s freedom or I’ll die

Hey, hey, hey, sweet times
Wonder what’s so wild these days

When you get to be my age
Being just around shakes me
I’m dazed again
Flapping my toupee
Bolder are the crazy nights ahead


Breaking all the rules

I am gonna do
If I break my back
Too bad

Partying in the circuit
I will rock again
Monkey in a circus
I am

Hi, hi, hi, Lady
Let us understand maybe
The time has come
To join me a while

We can be old and crazy
Once we meet again
Can you please accept
Monkey in a circus
I am

TEARS FOR CHANGE

How’s one to understand
The madness of the world
Our tears  are reaching far
grieving the children gone

I won’t stand by
Rock in a silence
Our tears require

A change

No more, enough
We’ve been too quiet
Tomorrow starts
Afresh today

I know the crazy entity
Is not the enemy
How many times
We’ve been deceived

Open your eyes 
The time is now /  and fight them back
The issue is selfish greed
What can we do to make them see / … feel

No guns

Gotta  let those go
Those  rights
Looking from my stand
Don’t have a fucking meaning
When lives are lost

My words
Carrying all along the sorrows
For those with lost tomorrows
Will be spoken loudly
For a change

I know the crazy entity
Is not the enemy
How many times
We’ve been deceived

Open your eyes 
The time is now /  and fight them back
The issue is selfish greed
What can we do to make them see 

No More
Enough
We've been to quiet
Tomorrow starts
afresh
Today

Tears for Change

TWO SIDES TO A STORY

There are two sides to a story
If you bother to ask
The key to knowing is shining more light
And then you’ll find if you are right

Someone badly dressed could be a hobo
Or a billionaire in disguise
Give yourself a moment before making your mind
And that’s what takes to be smart

So, if someone tells you
They saw me with someone else
Let me explain, hear me out
Cause I’ve got my own side
Just don’t open your eyes

The truth is like the Sun
It burns our eyes when gazed
Trust your heart instead 
And stay amazed

No need to understand
We love with what we can sense
And make up stories 
Our own way

Maybe I’m being a tad cynical
But I need you to stay
Being together is worth many lies
And that’s the truth that I sign

So, if someone tells you
They saw me with someone else
Let me explain, hear me out
Cause I’ve got my own side
Just don’t open your eyes

[Chorus]
The truth is like the Sun
It burns our eyes when gazed
Trust your heart instead 
And stay amazed



Two Sides to a Story

TAKEN ABACK

Was taken aback
Your shoulders were cold
Last night

You didn’t text back
Those pings in my phone
Were just spam

If there’s a chance I was wrong
I was getting paranoid
And Mad…

Perhaps in a while
You’ll come bringing some vino
And a smile

Is your silence necessary
Found your kisses just ordinary
It feels like, you won’t be back

But what truly matters 
In the world more than vino
Is the love that you are 
Missing from your heart

And there’s no magic dust
I am no Valentino
That will make you love me anymore

I’ll wait till tonight
To know if you are gone
From my life

I know it was my fault
Should have apologized
From the start

Is your silence necessary
Found your kisses just ordinary
It feels like, you won’t be back

But what truly matters 
In the world more than vino
Is the love that you are 
Missing from your heart

And there’s no magic dust
I am no Valentino
That will make you love me anymore



Taken Aback

AS LONELY AS CAN BE

Your beauty overcame my shyness
I gave you a smile
You pretending not to see me
Averting your eyes

If our shyness is an armored car
No wonder we are. . . 
Lonely as lonely can be
Lonely as lonely can be

Every second that we spend apart is wasted
We are meant to survive

Forever lonely
Is not a plan
You won’t be sorry
To try
(… try me baby)

If our shyness is an armored car
No wonder we are. . . 
Lonely as lonely can be
Lonely as lonely can be

Forever lonely
Is not a plan
You won’t be sorry
To try
(… try me baby)

As Lonely Can Be

ODE TO EARTH

We gotta save this place
That shield us
And keep us all alive

See the world
Bask in the beauty of the mountains
The oceans
The lands

Breath the air
To save the earth
Must be our chanting
The future must be bright

Save the earth now



Ode to Earth


SUS OJOS

Tu sentías se alejaba
Con sus besos secos y abrazos muy holgados
Sus ojos vieron a alguien mas
Y te rompió el corazón

Y hoy regresa implorando
Su paso suave con flores en sus manos
Sus ojos piden olvidar
Que solo perdió la razón

Bien, bien, bien dulce vida
Intentaría en cada día
Borrarle algo al rencor

Ven, ven, ven dulce vida
Dame un momento de alegría
Y así podremos re-empezar

Pero enfriándose el momento
La razón te inquieta, te deja anonadado
Tus ojos vieron algo mas
Que se esfumo ya la pasión

Ve, ve, ve dulce vida
Yo te deseo alegría
Que encuentres a alguien más a quien amar.








Sus Ojos

LA ROMANTICA

Va bailando con su cuerpo cantando
Un poema que habla de su nueva pasión
Su belleza que es su nueva entereza
Vibra al ritmo de sueños de un nuevo amor

Se le olvida la última vez
que alguien partió su corazón

No le importan pues no es nada quejosa
Si es que tiene un chance de expresar su calor
(su calor)
Es dichosa de una forma muy rara
Da sonrisas pintando el mundo de otro color

Aleluya! por la idea que es
Su inocencia, alivia cualquier revés
No será la última vez
Su romance encantara

Y si ella es ficción solamente
No importa porque vale creer lo que son
Las canciones que dan dulcemente
Esperanza a quien quiera creen en amor

Alfonsina en el mar
Penélope en el anden

Va bailando con su cuerpo cantando
Un poema que habla de su nueva pasión
Su belleza que es su nueva entereza
Vibra al ritmo de sueños de un nuevo amor

Aleluya! la Bikina en su piel
La romántica, da a la vida su miel

La Romantica

EL AMOR QUE NUNCA TUVE

Si es verdad que los años
entierran viejos sueños
ahí está mi unicornio que quiere
poder salir

Fuiste el amor que nunca tuve
El beso sin realidad
Deje tanto en la mesa
Por mi tonta ansia de libertad

Nadie es más culpable que yo mismo
Mi egoísmo, mi destiempo, y vanidad
Frenaron el amor que nunca tuve
Te pido me disculpes
Pues ese amor te lo robe

Cantare como si fuese todo
borrón y cuenta nueva
A pesar de que esta historia
yo la invento y no es verdad

Miento pero digo lo que siento
El tiempo dejo de caminar
Y ahora puedo cantar el dolor
Por el amor que nunca fue

El Amor que nunca tuve (The Love I never had)

FAERIE OF THE NIGHT

Once while driving
In the dead of the night
From the corner of my eye
I saw a lone girl outside

She was kneeling
Under a street light
Seemingly crying deeply
On the sidewalk

My instinct told me I should stop
But I just kept driving on
Was that a test I failed?
I wanna know

She was no mirage, no shadow
Her figure stood true and hallowed
She gave the vibe
Of being a ghost

Or maybe she was distressed and lost
Ashamed, I thought of going back   

But the...

Rearview mirror
Showed her fading aura
Like a faerie flying to
A far nirvana

She’s hijacked my memory
Lost my mind just wondering
Was that a test I failed
To be redeemed?

She was no mirage, no shadow
Her figure stood true and hallowed
She gave the vibe
Of being a ghost

Or maybe she was distressed and lost
I turned around to find her trace
But only silence filled the place
Was she ever there at all
Or was she just a ghost inside my soul?

Faerie of the Night

NUN IN A BROWN HABIT

You don’t have to tell me
what’s on your mind
from your faith, I gather
you are checking out

If you feel you sinned, don’t!
I will question that
there’s no shame in having
such a pious heart . . .

And so, you were
young, naïve, a virgin
and you offered all your being
like a maiden in a romance flick
And then he left . . .

One more time...

kneeling down and praying
you feel your time’s up
you fear that love is long gone
and you’re counting the days

You’ll be a nun
in a brown habit
flipping those rosemary beads

Shedding more tears
after night praying
is that the life
of your dreams?

From the vesper
to the lauds
you’ll be searching
for the light
and you’ll wonder
was that right
feelings never die

One more time...

kneeling down and praying
you feel your time’s up
you fear that love is long gone
and you’re counting the days

LA LLAMADA

Te llame, tu contestaste
Como máquina de tiempo
Con tu voz me transportaste
A un pasado de pasión

Y quien es, tu preguntaste 
Y yo fingí un poco el tono
Cuando dije, soy el tonto
Que partió sin dar razón

¡Quiero volver!
Si me das un chance mas
Prometo rescatar
El viejo amor

Y me respondes, ¿quién eres?
Mi vida no paro con tu traición
Lo que tú fuiste, fue nada
No mereces cosechar lo que hoy soy

Y pensé que compartías
El ardor por esos días
Y mi voz te invitaría
A disfrutar un nuevo amor

Ahora entiendo de tu enojo
Con tus llantos, hoy me ahogo
Pues rompí tu corazón

¡Me equivoqué!
Mi llamada abrió otra vez tu herida
Y no podré
Curar ese dolor

Solo te digo: disculpa
Amarte fue mi única intención
Te amé y por eso hablé en esta ocasión
Si lo jurado fue en vano

Olvida esta llamada y si no . . . no




La Llamada

THE MESSAGE 

Regretted it, almost at the moment
That you clicked it to send
Couldn’t withdraw it, cannot disown it
The message was out

What made you do it
Was the drinks or being mad
Cause she didn’t come 
To you tonight?

You worry now
That your note has crossed a line
That you are a clown

What a clown, you’re screwed now

You were so nasty
Maybe you went too far
Think of ways
That you can justify

If your love may feel bitter at times
You meant no harm
(You hope she’ll buy that line?)


And waiting, checking for responses
But your screen remains blank
She’s no posting, is she ghosting
Looks like she cast you aside

But then next night
There’s knocking at the door
She stands outside smiling
Beaming with joy

She starts to kiss you and
you cannot figure why
nothing sems wrong

Nothing’s wrong, praise the Lord

You check your phone, and you quickly realize
That your message went instead to your Mom
Love may feel crazy at times
There’s no harm

When luck shows up, to kindly lend us a hand
You should thank God,  your Mom can understand

The Message

COCKTAIL OF MY LIFE

I don’t mind
Wherever the sun warms me it’s fine
I climb to the roof
And pretend
I’m in a beach resort

Cause every tear
It’s a mark that I fought a fight
I earned a new start
And a sip of the drink
That’s the cocktail of my life

I will know when ready
No need to deny
If I fail don’t fret it
I live with my vibes

I create my own tomorrows
That much I know
Even when broke my sorrows
Flavor my world

When I try
I get a reason to relax
Find my own time
And swing
In a made-up hammock

For every day
That got me sad by night
I earned a big smile
And a sip of the drink
That’s the cocktail of my life

I will know when ready
No need to deny
If I fail don’t fret it
I live with my vibes

I create my own tomorrows
That much I know
Even when broke my sorrows
Flavor my world



Cocktail of my Life

AS BLUE IS MY SKY

You’ve got the magic touch
That brought me back
From days of sorrow
into understanding

Cause with your lighthouse words
You guided me through
the storm

And with your loving soul
You changed my life
I’m so lucky now
I found you

And just as blue’s my sky
I love you

I often wonder
When I hide my pain
How you know
I’m feeling lost

Maybe next time
I’ll give you a hand
For a change

And through the years I found
You are my friend
The perfect lover

Cause with your lighthouse words
You guided me through
the storm

I’m so lucky now
I found you

And just as blue’s my sky
I love you

I often wonder
When I hide my pain
How you know
I’m feeling lost

Maybe next time
I’ll give you a hand
For a change

You’ve got the magic touch
That brought me back

As Blue is my Sky - Remixed

FIERY TEENAGER

You are . . . a fiery teenager
Ready …. To master the world in no time
The one you’ll turn around on a dime

Just count the years while seeking
The wisdom you are dismissing
From your parents
Elder fools to you

I’m glad, you feel this power now
Will help facing the tough road ahead
The one you’ll have
To walk by yourself

When you feel alone and sinking
You’ll find the world’s just missing
The courage and the hope
You have today

So, be rebellious now
Is part of growing wings, tomorrows
And a way of having freedom soar
Let caution fly away,
Embrace life (now), and seize the day.
The time to grow is now

So, this is … just a reminder
That love will carry you through
Once you shed the arrogance
Of youth

SAINT PETERS'S BRIBE
+Video https://youtu.be/29YCC5T52gc

You counted to seven
They had no time to hide
I wonder, I wonder
Will the truth be found

Being sure you’re heaven-bound
You came to decide
Playing with angels
It’s a waste of time

Climbing the clouds is a chore
That’s beneath you
Seeing the stars far above
Hurts your ego

You have no doubt
You are entitled to be with them
Get a grip
Better listen up

The Judgement Came

Back in the day, when your body and your itches
And your urges, went together with your face
No one sound mind, contradicted 
For a moment what you said, fearing your rage

What happened was that your riches all your power
Your detestable demeanors didn’t help
Your life did end, and now it’s too late
To enter heaven

You found Saint Peter, and thought he was one to bribe
I wonder, I wonder, are you truly wise?
He tossed you out asking you to end this song
Dealing with fools
It’s a waste of time, he said

Climbing the clouds is a chore
That’s beneath you
Seeing the stars far above
Hurts your ego

The gate is locked
You won’t be reaching them
The judgement’s clear
On what to do with your soul

Bye, Bye Bye

Saint Peter's Bribe

JUST AT HOME

Usher happiness, Desire
I can write a new song
And if the words make me a liar
It’s cause I fake my own voice

You know when you live in a silo
To hide from what you think is wrong
Then suddenly you see
You are just at home!


Count to ten and let yourself go
Ain’t nothing like a state of denial
You’ll be back once you figure it out
No one cares if you are truly a liar

And all will be fine . . .

You can write a song
Without a rhyme
With suspended chords
Just like your life

Make yourself at home
Drink some good wine
Cause the clocks are
Ticking with your heart

And the fresher days require
All your promises be gone

You know that you live in silo
When you are trapped by your own dumb words
Then suddenly you’ll see
You are just at home!

Count to ten and let yourself go
Ain’t nothing like a state of denial
You’ll be back once you figure it out
No one cares if you are truly a liar

And all will be fine . . .


Just at Home - Remixed

Lay down the  flowers with my guilt
On your resting place
Can you forgive?

Sensing the end you asked from me
A little company
to calm your fears 

Thinking that you couldn’t let me go
I got upset and said to your request		
Mother don’t be silly
I’m busy and go to sleep

I know you’d say to me
Son, don’t you worry
There’s no way you could’ve known

And yet I do realize
You needed me at your side 
Just the way you were with me

I am so sad and I am sorry
How can I make it up to you?
I am so sad and I am sorry
How can I make it up to you?


Flowers with my Guilt

WHEN I SEE YOU

When I see you
Your eyes will shine with joy or not
Check the weather
We’ll know if we survived the storm

Show me a roadmap, when I see you

Maybe you and I can go
Where heartbeats make the universe strong

Cause in the end, I mean to give you
The love and the time you deserve
Will you follow me to space?

We will have no blindness
So, let’s understand
We can pave with kindness
The forgotten past

And you and I
Will be fine

I won’t kid you,
your smile will paint the path to fly
You’re the roadmap, when I see you

Maybe you and I can go
Where heartbeats make the universe strong


We will have no blindness
So, let’s understand
We can pave with kindness
The forgotten past

And you and I
Will be fine



When I See You

MASQUERADE

We were chasing rainbows
Just children searching for angels
And the games we played back then
Feel so meaningless to our lives today

And we grew fast 
Sexual thoughts
And freedom reigned

Peace and love
We preached
But only on tv

It took us time
To understand
That money was the thing

We’ve got to be grown ups
Playing a new game
Reaching for fortune
We soiled ourselves

The secret is out
For you and me
It does not please us
To be just a charade

Jibber jabber
And life
Is just a masquerade

Wish our children
Won’t try to play the same game
And let the rainbows be the gates of fate

They are chasing rainbows
We see the children searching angels
Games they play now
Seem so related to their fates

Maybe we advanced
A little bit
And that’s what life’s about

Two steps moving forward
One step going back
Reaching for fortune
We break new ground

Maybe we all have 
To be in a charade

Jibber jabber
And life
Is just a masquerade

Wish our children
Will play the same game and let
The rainbows be the gates of fate


Masquerade

YOUR FRIENDS

Have you heard the voices
of your childhood friends?
Don’t you sense that something has changed?

Marching time 
Goes on erasing
Every friendship that we made
Yes, you know you are on your own, but you don’t care

Do you deny
That you miss the days
When your friends were your world, 
your guide, yourself

Can you relive
When you are down and dazed
On new friends as your world, 
your guide, yourself?

In your saddest moments
When the light abates
Can you think of something to change?

Marching time
Can bring new reasons
To build yourself again
Yes, you know you are on your own, 
but you remain

Do you deny
That you miss the days
When your friends were your world, 
your guide, yourself



Desires

SAND CASTLES

Waves crash in the reef
Carving random grooves onto the cliff’s face
The breeze whispers around us
A message in the sand dust

Seagulls squawk and glide
Circling for fish over the shore’s haze
They are never silent
When they stalk their prey

So we choose to chase
An eagle’s shadow
Hoping to be hallowed
As we try to alight

We approach the edge
spread our arms
We fathom
We may be falling
when we meant to fly

....


And you and I
Thanks to a crappy sense of understanding
Ended up just digging for sand castles
On the beach below

The tide raises
Trashes with the water all our actions
The grabbing undertow yanking our passions
Screams that we belong into the sea

...

Waves ebbing and flowing
Are bringing us closer
To the corals that cuddle
The breaking froth

The wall above is covered
with ridges that zigzagging
form a stairway that’s landing
Where we first came from

So, we choose to climb
The steps are narrow
Hoping to be hallowed
When we reach the top

We approach the edge
We extend our arms, just shadows
We may be falling
When we meant to climb

And you and I
Thanks to a crappy sense of understanding
Ended up just digging for sand castles
on the beach below

The tide raises
Trashes with the water all our actions
The grabbing undertow yanking our passions
Screams that we belong into the sea

Sand Castles

THE VOICE

Telling his stories
In books that he’s been writing
But people never read them
They think they are dust

Strumming the guitar
Songs that he’s composing
Streaming recordings, with zero likes

Maybe he’s not doing fine
He feels unreal, he’s getting the idea
He’s a ghost, that no one can find

What’s the meaning of his life
When he’s coming to realize
That his voice is just 
Lost in the crowd

Ruining his vibe
Is believing that his worth
Is depending on 
A stranger’s word

Blinded he won’t notice
That the brightness of the stars
Will not dim
If no one sees them shine


Walking in the forest
Sees a fallen tree
It made no sound
When going down

Comes across a mirror
On a placid lake
Seeing his reflection
He smiles, I guess

Maybe he’s doing fine
He feels unreal, he’s getting the idea
He’s a ghost, that no one should find

What gives meaning to his life
Is his voice can now recite
The words that paint his mind
