High Time

What's the time?

Isn't it high time

Winter left at once?

Now wearing military boots

all those jackets, jumpers,

warm black socks and shoes.

Perhaps it refuses to leave

it denies its existence

maybe it's that time of the year

when you're just in a hurry.

Running away from the past

looking forward to burying

what was not supposed to happen.

Sunsets

Sunsets are not the same

no, baby, not at all.

Neither is my soul, non-stop

you know, time fucking flies

hark! tick tock tick tock

What time is it now?

Is it soon or is it too late for us,

for me to come and sit by your side?

Rainy Saturday night

I finally fet off the bus

that it's raining I realise;

but to be honest I don't mind.

"Changes", by A$AP Rocky,

the track being played;

I've noticed these differences,

both internally and externally

evident, not hiding at all -

I assume what it's going on,

to wear a mask I say "no more",

cold water do I contemplate

I smile at raindrops,

my mouth immediately opens,

my tongue eager to participate -

I want to drink the whole cloud

soaking wet, dunno hesitate

this precious, fresh nectar

I urgently need to taste.

Comeback

And then,

all of a sudden,

I decided to return.

The only plan,

the only purpose,

the only target

is to avoid another injury.

So conscious am I

of strengths and limitations,

yet unable to give up.

Stormy

There's a severe storm

it has not stopped,

not since five o'clock.

That was in the morning,

but still, I'm soaking wet,

I'm now wearing red

as if bright colours

were to put an end

to this eternal cry

which is happening,

which is going on right now.

I think I'll move forward,

intending to finally forget

what is lying behind.

Cloudy II

Motivation tends to decrease,

the affective filter is raised

after getting up every day

to realise that at least here

the Sun has not come out yet.

Thirteen days and counting,

we seem to be slowly dying,

leave each day fall

having grown sick and tired

of this fake autumn.

Cloudy I

How many days

can humans survive

without seeing the sun

come out to say hi?

I actually miss it

I miss watching a sunset,

I miss its dry hug

before early nights arrive.

It's somehow depressing

when you're aware it's there,

yet you won't get the chance

to gaze at its bright colours today.
