Freedom

I am
a beautiful
butterfly
whose large wings
cry for freedom.
Freedom.

A beautiful butterfly
with strong, shiny
claws
and teeth,
clinging to life.
Crying for freedom.
Freedom.


My mind is on fire

My mind is on fire
But my body is on ice
I have walked for a long while
The paths of the disguise
Have listened to temptation's
Vile promises to me
Have looked into the eyes
Of pure agony
But now I'm free
I smile, I stroll
I'm but a shadow
Pale, shattered, aerial.


Deep down the abyss 

Deep down the abyss of my soul 
Deep down the abyss of my soul
I have sought you;
My frail anguish was pressing me:
"Look further, look further still."

I spiraled down my dark desires.
And you were no longer there.
You had run away a long time ago,
Drunk with evanescent wanderings.

At the end of the journey, on the shore of my long-sought solitude,
Bitter, I bent my knee.
