"When we were children, we used to wait for the fireflies together,when you went away, I still wait for them, though I hoped you were with me."

Fortress



All my hopes are on you,
Brother!
Nothing left for me,
Only you, no other.

I feel completely alone,
And with a huge load on my shoulders,
Not even one left,
To do what no one in right mind ponders.

I bring a secret that blackens my soul,
My eyes are still petrified,
It's only my fault,
Never justified.

In the room the smell of guilt,
Impregnates my lungs,
A scene was built,
So much grief, so young.

Carefully architected,
Performed with regret,
The inevitable is announced ...

Loud and in good tone,
Now everyone knows ...

Now the corridor has doubled in size,
The walls makes me suffocate,
I guess I never realized,
Until it was too late.

The weight of power,
The loneliness of choice,
Was the blow...the more lower,
That silenced his voice.

Stand up, brother!
We're side by side,
Wrap me in a protective hug,
Calm down my restless mind.

You may never know,
The real significance of this moment,
The time is freezed as snow,
I'm stuck, no movement.

No longer is my destiny at stake,
The proportions are surreal,
It's like a bad dream, but I'm awake,
Trying to discover the meaning of the real.

Real things are happening,
Am I real enough?
That piece of metal shining,
And everyone trying to read my thoughts.

They expect so much of me,
So many decisions to be made,
Tonight is just the beginning,
The first stain on my blade.

Come with me, brother!
I need you so hard,
I can be their hope,
But you are my strength so far.

Zero



Distance of a mere eyelid is what separate,
We took a long time to find ground zero,
But we did it...

There is still time?
He says that we are open to so much more.......

He says: No, it's not too late.......
I know we can give us so much more

If is not too late...

Which side of the bridge is right?
Two sides of one ocean,
Miles away in a straight line.

He says he knows,
The meaning of zero.

Zero is nothing but everything,
It's a fresh start.

Starts now,
A 360 degree turn,
Back to your essence.

Mathematically you can add infinite,
To infinity.

Zero vector,
What starts,
Ends in the same place.
Force.
But  impossible movement,
He crosses the bridge
Which still runs parallel
Across the town.

Mental map,
Of sentimental things,
Written in blue ink.

Dead words,
Loose in the wind,
Do not ever come back,
They find their own way...

He wants to prove to me,
There is a zero vector in this story.
I tell him that I don't believe.
Even though... 
I know,
Nothing in my world...
Will make sense without it...
Will make sense without him...

Little emperor of the town



Looking out of the window,
Fog and rain in the city,
A tall, slim figure walking in the crowd,
Unnoticed, invisible,
Little emperor of this town,
At the height of his twenties.

The sky in his eyes,
In petrified blue....
The fog in his hair,
Of the sun is a clue....

All stars in a puddle,
Short pants that aren't wet,
Bunches of noodles,
Fly loose.... yet.

Reflections of a gray city,
Stained in red,
I don't know your identity
Why so disinterested?

It's after five,
No time for tea or beer,
Big and great, Ben is still alive
In higher place, to peer.

He has a funny way of walking,
Especially when he's in a hurry,
It's just a kid, but here is the king,
The pressure is too big to worry.

How many bridges to connect him with his own soul?
In underground soil,
The music keeps playing forbidden and foul,
He holds his guitar like a foil.

Little emperor and his sword,
The world is in your feet,
You only must to say a word,
Be strong and sweet.

He smiles....
The poetry emanates and shines.

Across of the sea,
Is his castle,
Waiting for him,
In his own battles.

He sighs....
Hands on thighs.

The long, awkward legs,
A new path to beg.

Three shadows and his guitars,
Jumping puddles and distancing,
He's just a boy owner of the stars,
Stars and their eyes ... romancing....

In a jump stands up,
The music is fading,
Fellows are already disappearing,
Laughing out loud,
How could they know?
You were the little emperor of this town?
