In the room of dusk

           Waiting for the sun to dive

Into the space behind the sand hills,

Your fingers embracing the white cup of tea

In the orange blush of warm light,



You stare at me,

my eyelashes flutter

I look away " the window steamed from inside

Orchids in a glass looking at us

The twilight is coming, and fading

Your arms stretched to me -

But who stole our memories,

My brother?


Going to hang out your shirt

Your arms tremble again with longing,

Why you need me always more,

Even you know I'm forbidden?

The cat is meows outside,

Branches of the willow shivering

In the caressing wind,

You stay behind me, hugging me silently

Your voice is frozen long ago "

But who stole our memories,

My brother?

I can't shake you from my bones
I can feel you within me
Within my veins
Flowing steadily

I can hear you in my head
As loud as a babies cry in the earliest morning

I can't shake you from my bones
I can feel you within me
Within my veins
Flowing steadily

I see you in my thoughts
Like a musician creating composures that cause ones ears to bleed of euphoria

I can't shake you from my bones
I can feel you within me
Within my veins
Flowing steadily

I can't shake you from my bones
You are now ingraved in me

I can feel you within me
Feeding off my sadness

Within my veins
******* me dry

Leaving me with nothing to flow

I can't feel...
.
.
.
.
I am numb

Give me just one innocent touch,

My lovely sister of compassion "

I just need your blushed cheeks

Like an apple in time of harvest

To caress them as the feather

Fondled by gentle wind,

Don’t step back, don’t go away!

Leave me just a little innocent kiss

My lovely sister of memories,

to refresh my blurred senses

to feel the warm sun of your heart.

Leave me just an innocent kiss

On your honey lips,

Kissed so many times by your lover

To melt in your sweet nectar

Endlessly longing for your look,

My lovely sister of childhood,

To hold you in an innocent hug

As I'm your bhai from land of sugar cane

Where the vast lakes merge with horizon...

I want only that from you,

Is my desire not innocent?

We are both not of this world,
my brother of fate, my bhai
my heart roaming high in the angel crimson down,
your eyes looking eagerly to discover mine -
your world is there, but both we are on the same side
the same universe and sorrow of life, we are two birds in cage
and wanting to fly, while our wings are bleeding
my lips reflect the need of yours to meet mine,
my cheeks so flushed adored by you as the sun,
your cage is there, but we both caged on the same side...
Melting in my look, sweet pain of desire in you,
igniting the fire and love, I am the last saved bird
with white feathers of light, yet still closed
when you'll take me from here, my fate?
