city life

Story

Home

The sun is burning, 
burning down on me.
The sun is shining, 
sunlight, it blinds me. 
The city’s screaming,
chaos around me. 

I want to go back, 
Back to where home is. 

The embrace is warm,
warming my weak heart.
The fire shines dim,
people, I see them.
Whispered “I love you”-s,
comfort around me. 

I am home again,
‘Cause home is with you.


Princess in the Tower

Gray walls and electric lights,
a gray person in a gray life
watches as they pass by. 

Blue sky, the light of the sun,
everyone in screaming colors,
they are winners in life. 

Sundrop melting restrictions,
your light flooding life with color,
I step outside with You.







Alive

People walking, rushing, running,The heartbeat of the city,Fast, but steady,Loud, but calming.

And another personIs falling into stepWith a million others.

People moving, moving, moving,The cyclic flow of our life,Steady and same,A lullaby.
