Fallen angels

“We shock, we collapse
We lose it all
And then come back.

Broken pieces walking,
Skipping, on side walks
Avoiding strangers,
But bold enough to maintain
The eye contact and silly conversations.

Broken souls crying out
For something more than hello,
Observing a world twisting and turning
Why are we all so out of control?

Living out of the box
Whilst being criticized for doing so,
Shrugging it off, for, if we’re falling,
We might as well be falling stars.

Perhaps, perhaps
We’re fallen angels
Who have always been lost
From the very start.”

Something great

“As you keep looking out
For the path you have never found
Towards Milky way,
Gutted that your dreams
Have long ago faded out,
I spotted a shadow in your eyes
That you weren’t fast enough to hide.
I could see disappointment
And the weight of the world
Gravitating around your soul.
Your mind has once been filled
Of wonders levitating in the wind
And dreams that grew out of dust,
Shining as bright as a supernova.
My dear friend let me remind you,
The universe still lives within you
In every breath you take,
Thus, don’t forget how to turn dust
Into something great.”

Can you hear my satellite call?

“I found you again in a dream,
Sat on the greenery near a stream,
Your gaze lost somewhere far
As I wanted to confess I wished your name upon a star.

Does the distance scare you too?
Or is moving on now easier for you?
Perhaps there’s nothing more to do –
Believe me, I know I should go on too.

But, like a cat, curiosity kills me,
Time and time again,
And the satisfaction of my findings
Has yet to bring me back from the dead.

For, when it comes to you, my love,
All I get is radio silence from the Universe –
The lights are out, I feel so small,
My dear, can you hear my satellite call?”

Howling at the moon

“At sunset, I wait for the stars
To wish upon them for a brand-new start,
A way out of an endless spinning wheel
That, after so long, has only made me dizzy.

They say times have always been hard,
So, I should just get used;
But how can you lay down low
And not want to change the weight of the blow?

I grab my old bow and arrow,
But haven’t I always been the prey?
Too used to take an apologetic bow,
To whom am I supposed to pray?

I know there’s a wolf in me
Howling at the moon,
Under the skies’ beautiful hues,
Telling me it’s time for something new…”

Ana

At sunset

“At sunset, I get ready
To spot the stars in the sky,
To cross my heart and hope to die,
To think of you and not to cry.

At sunset, I get ready
To find the hope I lost,
To be happy with what I got,
To love and pay the cost.

At sunset, I finally feel free
To find my heart and let it be,
To find my dreams and let them see
How life is nothing but an endless sea,
Brimming with new opportunities…”

Ana

Millions of Stars

“The Universe has millions of stars
So why can’t I wish upon each one
Of them shining tonight?
Needing faith to reassure me
That all will work out finally
Just as I have been dreaming
And sacredly hoping
While I make it through another
Typical dark hour
In need of a bright
Starlit night inside
My own heart.”

Sunset

“Can you see the blues and the whites
And all the pinks in the sky?
Purples and lilacs with steady might
Set to marvel every eye?

To the sunset’s palette, rules do not apply –
A wide canvas full of strokes of colours,
Perfectly called golden hour,
Thanks the day and welcomes the night.

The stars will follow after the fade out,
Lovingly setting dreams in the hands of fate,
And with the moon they will orchestrate
A delightful invitation for wishes to spread out.”

Ana

Endless summer nights

“On endless summer nights,
I carve your name on every side
Of my ruthless, spinning mind
So I believe we will be alright.

Distance is a desert and I am weak,
Always wondering about what ifs,
Even when I know for certain we will meet
When summer turns, to yellow, the autumn leaves.

Still, I keep whispering your name to the stars
To make sure they remember you’re my satellite,
For I know I am whole on my own but my heart lacks
Someone who could hold it carefully for a little while.”

Ana

X

“I stand at shore, drunk on sea air,
Where you left off to, I’m unaware,
Digging deep to hide my tears in the sand
An x will cross the place for you to land.

Day and night, the stars will tell
Crumbs to feed you with fates and tales,
Alluring you towards safe land like a spell
Before you know what all this entails.

Coming back is an option you could shrug off,
If only you didn’t keep on feeding your curiosity
That strands you to a past you once set yourself off
With as much indifference in your demeanour as animosity.

I will, finally, unmoor myself from now on too,
Too long I’ve been adding my own salt to the sea
And new stories wave to me with no traces of you,
Reminding me there’s so much on this earth for me to see.”

Ana

I search for signs

“I search for signs in the stars,
Throwing my blessing with the cards,
Desperately trying to find
A way to mend us this time.

Forgive me for I know
This is all my doing;
I set my intentions too soon
And now I spend my time missing you.

I thought the distance was needed
For us to follow our own paths freely,
But now I see I’m too attached to this feeling
To be able to live willingly.

I miss you more than I could have ever anticipated
And I’m not sure if there’s still a part in your life I could take
So I could be near you without hurting,
For my heart chants more and never stops hoping…”
