2 Poems

Slow hands take you
And you do not give anything away
Like a chisel purifier
The shadow is portrayed to you
For the heavens you have raised the beliefs
Without them you would be forgotten
In a cry with light in the middle
In the dark room withheld.

I sing grief with joy
Nothing about me anymore
The Charm of Melancholy
To boil how much it ravages
To the soul the frenzied chance
Place what columbine
Laughter that gives grab
Search for lamp
Or another vegetable idea
Of those who perspire us
And the obsolete practice
Pusillanimous gives us the wrath
And what happens?
Love hopelessly
The being, a being, who dies
Love hopelessly.
