Uncomfortably Numb

The evening comes and the party goes on
The nightmare forgotten, your mind still strong
You feel the rythm, the heartbeat, the waves

The Struggle

Let the fight begin
I told Charon
Took his finger
Showed him the rest of the night sky

Sonnet #31: Knife

His feelings turn from good to bad to evil
When he is walking by the riverside
As he’s a witness of some brave upheavel
He wants to join it but he needs to hide

Sonnet #19: Escape

He always left the escape door wide open
To flee the scene as soon as struggles grew
Sometimes he tried to face a case with coping
But in his mind was left what he went through

Jump

And when I say »Jump!«
Please tell me where it’s going
Share the colours with me
The oxygen with the sea
