I used to never say never,
I knew every rose has thorns.
I used to be wise and clever,
but that was before I was born.

I used to believe in magic,
and that I would never be gone.
I lived my life to the fullest,
but that was before I was born.

I knew how to always be happy
and cherish the smallest joys.
I used to get cramps from laughing,
but then I came to this world.
I am partying hard,
every day and every night
at the Festival of Poetry
- the festival of my life.

My bracelets are
flickering in the moon.
I am singing and kissing flowers,
they are making me bloom.

I am drinking the sweetest wines,
that have ever been made.
I am ecstatically dancing
with naked silhouettes.

I am partying hard,
every day and every night
at the Festival of Poetry
- the festival of my life.

Spilling the ink of joy
until my very last breath.
There won't be any hangovers,
any post mortem regrets.
I feel like a failure,
when I compare myself to people
who already died.

I gave some spare change to a beggar today.
It hasn’t changed my life, neither his.
But it has changed something.
It was a small, but real
change, change to
be spared.

The World is giving us many clues
to find the meaning of life.
But we ignore them.

"Life is so short",
said a man to his wife,
"So short I want to cry!"

The wife replied:
"I didn't know my husband
isn't a man, but a butterfly".

He was praising death's name,
but they were scared to die.

He wore death like a perfume,
but they told him he stank.

He said: Death isn't scary,
you are scared for you're weak
.

But they chose to be fearful,
and they died of the fear.
