A Dame

As a stranger you came
Through the lights
And the flame
There you came
As a danger
Ain’t afraid of the game
There you came
To my suffered soul
To my wondering aim
There you came
You held me tight
And said my name
I ain’t gonna fall
For i am a dame
There you came
Hold me tight
I can’t stand the blame
I ain’t gonna fall
Eventhough i am tired
Eventhough i am lame
But if i fall
Would it be a shame?
For i am a dame
And i am not the same
As a stranger
Through the danger
Oh, there you came
There you came ..

Change

Drawn
Into something strange
Not like water
Not like air
Not like a champagne
Oh Strange

Dawn
In me with a wide range
Not an art
Not a start
But it is a change
Oh strange

And i am falling and sinking
Deeper and so deep
Without wings to fly
Without air to keep
And i am not a sleep

Alone
Like a buried shroud
Not like earth
Not like mud
Not like a cloud
Unknown feeling loud
Not a bang
Not a fuss
Not a mess of crowd
Oh strange
It is a change..

Meet me at 3 AM

Meet me at 3 am on WhatsApp
I wanna just see you online
To make sure you are breathing
I will pick and get the sign

And down to my spine
Down to my spine
I shiver from your icy heart
Where you drew a mighty line

Meet me at 3 am with your lies
I can’t get my eyes closed
I can’t breath in the tides
In this : once we crossed a road

And down to my spine
Down to my spine
I shiver from your icy heart
I am paralyzed with your wine

And down to my spine
Down to my spine
I yearn to that hug
To a brown embrace like a pine
I cry for that hug
That never happened
that wasn’t once mine 

Meet me at 3 am
looking at the same star
From our windows
Keep me in your soul as a rose
That once hurted me fine

In Love A gain

Oh mother that’s hurts
Your daughter is in love again!..
Just like a muted question
With no answer
Like a lonely dance in the rain..
a crying arm that misses it’s watch
Yearned to the embrace and the vein!
Your daughter is in love again

Oh dear that’s hurts
I am in love again .
A total desert around a plane..
No skies no water and no blue
Surrounded by cactuses and pain..
And i am drowning in sand
Like a wild horse with a chain..
Nothing is to blame
I am not sane
Your daughter is in love again…

Don’t flee I am a patient of OCD

Looking lonely that it would be..
Thinking of your face
that i yearn to see..

We agreed to meet
Along we agree..
Just to solve the problem
That we were Fighting about
I know there were so many doubts
Fake pulses and a zero degree
I wanna look in your eyes
To see us to see we !
The ones i wanted to see
The one who made us three!
In this suffocating misery
And then if i had to lose for you
I will lose..
You are the winner
You are the muse
You are the sign V

I paid my mistakes in this sickness
I paid the fee
The price of a wrong memory
I am clean now
Give me your hands they are the key
To all my crisis
To all the nightmares i wanna set free
To all the illusions in my head
Let me be me

staring into the walls
Nothing could awake my eyes
From the medication noise
But your voice
But those Small brown eyes like an old tree

On an table between you and me
An Orphan rose
A cup of coffee and a cup of tea
And you embracing my hands
over a white sheet
They say Please don’t flee
Your mama is a patient of an OCD!
