Be cautious of any god who can be swayed by prayer.

Women always worry about the things that men forget;
Men always worry about the things that women remember.

Treat every day as if it was your last...... one day it will be.

To our sweethearts and wives. May they never meet!

You who think you know it all are very annoying to those of us who do!

Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target.

Typical engineering - measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an axe.

Working on my second million...I gave up on the first!

Turning the other cheek is vastly overrated.

Nothing is an inevitable as a mistake whose time has come.

Goodbye.

From my throat the sighs
as tears well in my eyes
I say farewell, my prettiest
to one exulted high
of women born the best
it’s the saddest of good-byes.

The world is rolling by
the dawn, the dusk, both nigh
I smell the rose, a geste
then drop it down in jest.

With many vows and sighs
my heart leaves you to rest
as I must confess
by thee I have been blessed
so I leave you now in misery
and all my wasted sighs
as I say again good-bye.

Tears drip from my eyes
from my throat the cries
a single rose on grave
lays from life bereft
why you had to die
I’ll never know the why’s
and all that is now left
a final sad good-bye.

In vain.

With autumn came strange flowers
some were new and some were old
shadows gathered in dusky twilight
as night dimmed sparkle of eye and gold.

Dimmed the face of my beloved
I tried to comfort you, to stay
so kissed your cheeks and kissed your lips
but much remained unkissed that day.

We gathered in our mourning deed
on the altar of dues, with wine and song
we saluted the death, all wise and pure
and saluted the living who did so wrong.

We layed there down to watch the stars
among the leaves that fell that day
the frosty air the flowers killed
but then again, life is that way.

Two stars from heaven fell that night
one for me and one for you
with twisted smile we watched them burn
for wished wishes won’t come true.

The gathering dawn made shadows flee
the peeking sun announced the day
on both our cheeks a single tear
which washed away in falling rain
a symbol of a love in vain

and so we parted ways...

Linger.

It lingered
on my lips
the soft touch
of the kiss

to have felt
and to have lost
only now
the linger
of the afterthought…

Rain.

How does it feel, your deep pain?
How does it blow, your hurricane?
How does it fall, your stormy rain?
After it passes, does something remain?

Are you digging your hole deeper?
And waiting for rain?
Make the walls a bit steeper
So it won’t be in vain.

How does it change, your point of view?
How do they count, all the blessings?
Stop waiting for days that won’t come back
Take a good look at your life and stop guessing.

Replica.

Am I unique?
Or just a duplicate?
Was I conceived?
Or made to be?

I don’t want to live
anonymously
filled with misery
of not knowing
wether I was growing
or just build to be.

Can you tell me
who am I?

Feint of heart.

My foundations quiver
as you tear my truth apart
I shiver
feint of heart.

Snow turns red
as innocence dies
the truth
is just a lie.

My dreams flee
as you tear my lies apart
I weep
weak of soul
and feint of heart.

Stay.

I hear the loud silence
it’s numbing my mind
I speak, I shout, I cry
in a one-way fight
you’re so far away
from making it right
still I plead: Stay
stay another night…

Stay, or I will never see you again
Stay, or we will come to an end

I run the hard memory
of your face, of your name
depleting my energy
clotting blood in my veins
I try to keep you at bay
but you’re so worth the prize
and so I plead: stay
stay for the night…

Stay, or we will never be mend
stay, or I will never see you again
stay, don’t go away
stay till the end…

Go on.

When somebody would leave
I would just go on
just fall and stand and go on.

But now you’ve left me
and I can’t go on
fallen down and can’t get up
can’t go on.

So sad, so bad
I feel the strain, the pain
soaking in the falling rain.

All I wanted, all I had
washed away in the falling rain
you’ve left me standing all alone
and I can’t go on.

I feel so lost
in a world that keeps rushing by
who will find me now?
Who will help me go on?

Illusion.

I am dreaming
you are here
or am I?
Are you near
to me...?

I feel a touch
upon my skin
is it you?
Or just the wind
playing...?

A soft whisper
in my ear
a word of love?
Did I hear
it right...?
