Limbo (Last Odissey Vs. Empress) Space ways forgotten By time and by me Relicts of stars Collapsed and lost And I feel far Fluctuating I crash in the memory…my sweet memory Stay away Stay away from me Lay down your hands From my crystal orbit You shone ...you don’t shine anymore And now stay away oh life, my dear! And now stay away from me I’m cold, you don’t shine anymore Empress of ashes You extinguished my flame The armies of sorrow Weaken the will to feel again I’m dust In the hollow of the past And now stay away oh life, my dear! And now stay away from me Will you seek for me… Seek for me one more time And now stay away oh life, my dear! And now stay away from me What was it worth for?…

Men I Met 02:19
Men I met Once a man met a man In the heat of an august street He didn’t stare He didn’t say hello! He just caressed man’s hair Then he did go And it started to rain In the wet morning of a Scottish town A lady with a war on her face Was sitting alone near her shopping bags I wondered what Her life was like And then the rain washed away my curiosity Once a man met a man Long lost friend come and join the dance Once a man met a man Long lost friend in those rainy days A late evening on the 23 In the middle of a tired crowd A girl was standing, she was crying loud She sought my eyes for an helping sign A blessing from sky was about to come But then she went off in the rain Once a man met a man Long lost friend come and join the dance Once a man met a man Long lost friend in those rainy days Once a man met a man

Walking and talking Don’t ask me anything There’s nothing I can give Nothing you can find even if You dig inside Where’s now that younger me That used to get so fast The meaning of it all? Does anyone of you Recall this ease of then? Calling… Recalling… Walking and talking by your side I need to heal, healing my life There’s nothing I can hear Really nothing more even your words So please give me the way Don’t bother me anymore Don’t follow me Or my footprints But walk a while by my side I walk a while by your side Don’t ask me where we’re going Or why we are going away The way itself is my business And nothing else I care Walking and talking by your side I need to heal, healing my life There’s nothing I can hear Really nothing more even your words I’m walking please talking Forgiving you I’m walking please talking Forgiving me

When I lose 04:55
When I lose Still I don’t recall Were you the one of us Claiming for love or was it me? Things mix up As time goes by And my mind is getting dazed I’m the loser again I can choose, but I don’t I let things going wrong My will is weak and world is strong Will I face this sick law No one can be innocence at all You always give your pain When you give love Who owns now All those past days? Those I missed too scared To rule my time? Who rules, when I don’t? Still I don’t recall Did I blame on us for first Worried to be witness and nothing more? Innocence means death You can help it , mate If you want to dance you can’t stand still

Past Days 04:35

Wet of Sky 02:33
Wet of sky I happened to dream her eyes ….wet of sky I saw her moon smile Drawn by a dewdrop And coloured by the Depth of the sea She… Wind tongue ruffling my heart Vibration of my soul Shiver in my bones Deep-set cry Crying, crossing every street This is freedom, my freedom For you, For me, For who really believes
7.
My World 05:06
My world Against the rules of an opposite sense Of a poor light, of a dull herd Spread by a weak breath of wind To finally catch of an image, the touch Of a sound, the taste, of a scent, the fruit Of a soul, the reflection I will be back again Just to step and fly away Ploughing the fields of a sick fate To heap muddy stones on flowers bent down With wet pale dew September rains drink to my shadow Through the season of change when the acts fade And the emotions bloom In doubt I go ahead in wings of merchants and saints On a rude desert ground that surrounds me with sounds From uncertain Karma-law I will be back again Just to step and fly away Believe me I founded my world on a dream Giving up all thoughts, purposes, beliefs High and clean skies of an earthly grown faith Sprinkled away as it was holy sand When I find salty scent a taste been stolen A breath now freezing that formerly was A warm desire of air I will be back again Just to step and fly away Believe me I founded my world on a dream

Synaptic Ghost Have you ever felt it? Think twice before the answer Don’t answer me at all It rises your wrath When you’re trapped Caged in your mind Out of your control world is running fast Too fast for you to reach what you’re looking for I never wanted to fall down In the chemical jungle Brain flashed by neuron lianes In the greedy eyes of the kite The prey is my soul I never wanted to fall down I never wanted to get this far I see the day of my birth Funeral crowd in the sky An entrance is always an exit An entrance is always an exit These synaptic ghosts Are leading me far Too far too far too far to get back I never wanted to fall down I never wanted to disappear Strong to be stronger Than my bleeding Swallowing in this pound of pain Lost connections The image is gonna away With last tear from the real

Sun beyond time Splinters of sounds home in my mind Like tatters I sew back my wounds Tones embedded in colours don’t reverb ……..in memories Dreams too thin don’t reach the daylight Do you think we’ll sing a new sun beyond time? Do you think sun could burn beyond time? A merciless thought awakes me again I am sailing helplessly in people's day life I don’t find shelters and ports My fragile veil flaking into ashes Do you think we’ll sing a new sun beyond time? Do you think sun could burn beyond time? To this sun, I burn and fade I’m ashes of a conscious dream And waiting for my free night flight Defined features that justify the being certitude Defined features that justify the certitude of being There are faces without names There are faces with soul in their eyes Tired whispers of pale souls and grey No bright whisper of a new day A lightning, a whisper, a new day Rules of nature don’t rule this new whole Broaden up pasts collapse in a point like present The world breath blows up mankind lungs Without burning: an apnea of healthy and thin air Far out your screams are only weak cries They bloom, an underwood, where I take my foot steps I’m drowning down Where everything is mutant and free to be Somewhere where mysteries reveal and the daily certitudes are exposed….

Flat Stones 04:05
Flat stones As the whispering of the wind On these few cliff fingers As the smiling and crying of your eyes For your secret rhymes Peace….when dusk rises Peace….the tide has turned Hear the screaming of the storm On these few flat stones See the magic of your gown Leads a dance with the whole Feel the moon calling tidal waves Loose your shape in my shape Peace….dying of blue Peace….a call from you As we’re walking on our broken land I’m not afraid to rest In your hands… Taking by the whisper inside my hand, inside my dawn inside my wandering A leading from my hurt inside the dry inside the waiting for my womb Take me, forgive me the same sun and water in your sail Take me, forgive me the same sun and water in your sail Forgive me there’s the sun inside my eyes inside my hand inside my soul …

Mad and Child (You) Knights, Kings and Queens Home hovels of my privacy They assume possession Of my desire to matter ….to get your attention Walking down the harbour Strange thoughts follow me Ice crowds dwell my time And you exist Just because I sing of them Let’s just play another match My poetry is not dried-up I just need to be able to stop My singing My crazy run I’m not what I haven’t … Among these oil flames Wet reflections from the street Steam engine chokes My suffocated cries My suffocated cries I really don’t remember To have seen The colours of a winter evening Don’t remember when I last saw them Without the need to freeze them in my rhymes I don’t remember when I breathed the grassland Just to retrieve the kernel of my soul I don’t remember if I breathed the dusk Standing Freedom at my side Doesn’t exist a place where you die? And where I dance at the Moonlight Mad and child? I dance mad and child
13.
Mad and Child (Mother Nature) Mother Nature fill me with your breath Colour my Sun, tame the hollow here Save me from the dream of holding every whole Dry the tears of such a mad fool Doesn’t exist a place where I possess you? Mother let me sing you And further guide my walk Teach me the words to approach your site When I was a child the moon adjusted the time I don’t remember where I stole your grace Just for the sake of keeping it I don’t remember if I breathed the mist Standing Freedom at my side Doesn’t exist a place where you dance? And I? I die mad and child… Mad and child, mad and child
14.
Mad and Child (Father) And after the pain I walk out of the rain And after the rain I walk out of the pain When was the time for healing? And for our eyes to meet? Now we’ve drunk at the same spring…The life I’ve drawn is growing with the rising sun The idiom I speak echoes The music you left me Somewhere exists a place, where we can rejoin again I dreamed your lined hand Leading me through wood paths Once I betrayed just to grow wiser in fear Now I judge who leaves, those who desert their own lives And I blame these cold sad souls Lady Earth will spread salt on mankind wounds She’ll spread violence at her very same gates The keys of Time will open doors to lady Gloom She will be sitting on the throne of honour, she’ll rest on the ashes of men Her carrying out resides in our singing, we are prisoner of our own grace Let’s fall asleep together now, let’s dance mad and children Among the oily tides of these times I gather the feelings that belong to you I sing and you sing. I play and you play You’re seeking for an applause and I applaud By this time if my pen is still writing It really exists a place where we can make dance our shapes It really exists a time when we’ll dance mad and children Whilst there is no rest for the eye of the poet The tumbler won’t stop his whirling. Why the farmer should betray the rain? There will be never rest for my guitar Let’s fall asleep together now, let’s dance mad and children Like leaves come back to the wind, now we are coming back…… coming back to life

Mad and Child (Myself) By now what I have to do? I spent every ardour, I like to Abandon myself to ancient colours Inner falls and northern scents There’s a place inside ourselves If, little son, I search For winter colours What kind of frost damped the past sounds? There’s a place inside ourselves crowded by disguises and fantasies Every time has got enough time Every breath has got a smell Every warpath has got its blood Every man has got his suffocated cry If I hear my stifled cries What kind of scream ancient craters hide? If the wind cradles my sleep What kind of storm bred our breath? There’s a place inside ourselves crowded by disguises and fantasies Every time has got enough time Every breath has got a smell Every warpath has got its blood Every man has got his suffocated cry Now I leave you Crying for sad souls Freedom waits for me Across a veil of fog Where Nature welcomes me Her grace is waiting for my eye I’ll ride the grassland lost in the dusk I’ll breath the mist and all its scents I’ll contemplate the thunder and cradle my Fear Now I’m pure like my suffocated cry And I dance mad and child.
