A Piece of Heaven

Although love says my name,

although hatred mocks the emerald sky,

the last flame in me

will not go out.

I run away from dreams

which, instead of light, give me

tired thoughts and exhausted desires.

Don't promise to see

the silence in the mirror of your body.

Do not swear that it is not worth

leaving fresh, warm tears

behind you, too tight traces.

Let's stop pretending

that the world belongs to us.

Sometimes I do not understand

how one can carry the cross

of the scarlet sky, how one can assure

that we will wake up

from the future soon.

I try to fill the gap in my curriculum vitae,

but it's too late to give up childhood,

to abandon freedom.

Impatient stars are waiting in line

for a piece of heaven,

for a piece of naivety.

I have always dreamed of falling in love

with this stream of human dreams,

human ambitions.

And when the evening flashes in us,

we will raise a toast

to life so that it will wait

a little longer for us.

Personally, I say don't wait on life. Mount up and Chase it down! Time is too short to sit in the sidelines. Well done, my friend.
