Senses for life
Let me continue to plant life,
see it blossom through my fingers,
hold its beauty within my heart,
listen happily to its needs,
smell its essence delicately
respecting its only true wish:
to be taken care of.
Let the flowers bloom.
Little one
Out of my pen comes rivers of blood
writing not words, but painful sorrows.
Our eyes shed teardrops of tomorrows.
The truth sees lies hidden under the mud.
Little one, your frozen heart is still beating
we are all here to carry you in linen yarns.
All mothers are taking you within their arms.
No hiding excrutiating pain within the pleating
I cannot continue these verses, little one,
until your angel soul comes alive little son.
My nature is KARMEN
Walk along the colorful path
that I have prepared for you.
Abandon the tide of wrath
and embrace the stem of virtue.
Enter my bells of blissful tenderness
till the jubilant sun sets in my garden.
My delicate dress leaning generously,
and dancing in the wind to Karmen.
For you are both, and shall lovingly remain,
till the end of my days, peace and harmony.
Immortal pharoahs never passing in vain,
While each melody has the taste of my destiny.
