The Love Tree

There was an old tree
at the corner of the street
so big and imposing
that everybody tried to climb it

so people weren't strong enough
to grasp the branches
so they fell
before reaching the peak

some were too heavy
when these tried to
reside the tree
they broke the branches

there was one person
tall,thin and gentle
he reached the top
after struggling many years

he settled there
his beautiful wife aside
but the scenery was so attractive
that he started to watch

The Shape of My Heart

seeing the flowers
their bright colours
my heart has a beauty shape

watching the birds
their free flight
my heart has a freedom shape

listening to the rain drops
clicking on glass
my heart has a romantic shape

talking to you
looking into your eyes
my heart has all the shapes

Music brings your love

eyes closed
i open my heart
feelings pour and spread
dancing

music is in my brain
i want to feel it
so i stop my brain
and let my heart work

mind is far
but heart is near
heart feels the music
music brings your love

Evening

evening brings indefiniteness
last moments of day dissappear
without thinking of tomorrow
i may feel the sorrow of finiteness

evening is alone and sad
it reminds all the gloomy time of past
waiting for a new day front
it'll hide strange feeling of heart

it's just evening
capable of holding pains
pains cover my heart
and i wait morning to come

Yellow,Autumn,Death

Falling leaves are yellow
yellow is the symbol of autumn
autumn is the season of falling leaves
falling leaves remind me of endings
endings are symbolized by yellow
every autumn,in falling leaves
it's the symbol of death

But how beautiful are the falling leaves
though they're the colour of endings
how beautiful the yellow reminder of death

Is death beautiful?

Wind Says Something

wind blows cold
to my cheeks
it flies the dust
and all the leaves

wind has a noice
more than we produce
but it rests
mind and ears

listening to the wind,
it's cold,resting voice
it's not possible to understand anything

but wind says something!

The Yellow Cat

the yellow cat is sitting on top of the armchair
we don't know if she is listening to the music
but she is certainly watching the snow falling

We are having lunch

the yellow cat is sitting on top of the armchair
she is not watching the snow view but sleeping now
snow is falling, trees are getting white

We are talking around the table

The yellow cat is not sleeping on top of the armchair
she is not watching the snow either
snow is covering all the trees with a miracle

We are looking for the yellow cat

the yellow cat is sitting on my lap
i'm watching the white snow
and listening the murmuring melody with pleasure

snow is not white, now everything is dark

the yellow cat is not sitting on top of the armchair
but she is walking around the house
and listening to our murmuring sound.

Flower Language

flowers have miraculous colour
they send us love with their perfumes
a different language have flowers

even, i learn all the languages in the world
it's not posible for me to tell about love
as well as fragrant flowers

i smell love watching their colour
and want to say "i love you"
in the flower language to my lover
