NIGHTS

The sun sets and rises again
That is what you see
The sun is setting,
This is what I want to see
The night covers me, for it knows
Tired I am, of
Being surrounded always by light
Solace is all I desire
The night pours it like wine
To fill my empty goblet,
My heart.
I am alone; the night is my companion
The sun is an omen
Dawn being the end of my life, everyday
Turning me into a living dead
I exist to watch the night,
Embracing me,
Sucking me into the cold void


IN A FIX

I have the feeling that I am in a fix...
I have acquired it all but want everything
But do I long for love?
I have acquired love,
Is it that special one, for which I can risk
My life, my freedom, my dreams?

I have the feeling, that I am in a fix
Have I been cursed in this game
Of gaining everything
Yet left with nothing?
I can't figure out what I want
I have gained, I have lost,
In this game of greed
I'm in a fix,
Knowing not what to acquire next
