THE SUNFLOWER COLLECTION
Sadness
Eerie sounds from faraway horizons,
friendly waves that cant be seen no more,
heart seems to be locked in your own prison,
you cant move, cant see, locked inside the core,
you have tied yourself with your own emotions,
built your own haven full of fire,
get away from your long loved devotions,
nightmares sees to haunt you, fill yourself with tire,
you blind yourself from your inspirations,
swimming along with the tides of fear,
letting yourself get close to expiration,
feelings of death getting near,
you get along with the rhythms of weirdness,
weirdness that you plant inside you,
that seem to grow stalks of craziness,
you soul sees nothing, but shades of blue,

In the middle of nowhere
in the middle of nowhere
in the middle of
emptiness,
i am stuck,
stuck like fingers in a cold bitter lemon can,
i see nothing,
i am blind to the colors before me,
the wonderful colors i used to admire,
i dont see them any longer,
everything is blurred,
blurred as can be,
blurred in the middle of nowhere,
i'm afraid to move,
i might fall,
fall again, get stuck in nowhere,
in the middle of nowhere........
Virtual Reality
i lay down to sleep, stay there motionless
i try to go to wonderland
connet with my sweet dreams
connect to the virtual world
where meaningless happiness exists
happiness that doesn't last
just virtual happiness.....
i try to move, my body feels numb
i try to disconnect with the reality
my mind feels heavy
conflicting with my feelings
confusions overpowering confusions
the battle makes my head heavy
makes my mind weary.....
i feel myself going into bitterness
my mouth tastes blood
i feel suffocation
i shudder with horror
everything surrounding me was novelty to me
i was inserted into a scene of carnage
all different from the extravaganza i wished.....
i wake up and see myself motionless
i disconnect from pessimism
still laying motionless
perspiring with fear
i start my music, i let my self hear it
letting myself tranquilize
leading me slowly to wonderland.....
It
seems that life is going on
Mind
is crawling on
Time
is passing on
with
the thoughts,
sweet
thoughts bitter thoughts
sweet
memories..........bitter ones
Loneliness
seems the only word in the dictionary
with
the meaning written:-
"depressed,
MAD, sad feeling"...
but
the perfection is still there
but
in the memories..........
in
the thoughts........
just
in the wonderful sweet memories
just
perfection that cant ever be changed
