Edgar Allan Poe
If I could remember
So many nights I stayed awake,
I would return to escape the desert.
If I could remember
How many times I dreamed it,
I would sleep in the arms of evil.
A life to forget,
A thousand reproaches to make.
Alcohol brought me back to calm.
A death to await
Seduced me unintentionally.
Hell took hold of my soul.
If I could remember
The traces of those I heard,
I would be reborn enveloped in tears.
I will return in every storm.
A light fused with my soul
And I sought a way to escape.
I will live, hidden in the line
That reveals the blood that chills your skin,
Breaks the dreams that make you live.
Hands tremble,
Verses ignite
And never leave you.
If I wanted to imagine a life without end,
I would walk among figures of steel.
If I were to contemplate
A shadow upon waking,
I would dream of merging with time.
If I could remember
The traces of those I heard,
I would be reborn
Enveloped in tears.
I will return in every storm.
A light fused with my soul
And I sought a way to escape.
I will live hidden in the line
That reveals the blood that chills your skin,
Breaks the dreams that make you live.
Hands tremble,
Verses ignite
And never leave you...
...and never again.
We cannot
Refuse
What others
From us
Do not
Refuse
To us
Let them dissent.
Solitude makes
The fear of truth explode.
It makes you lie, deny reality.
Temptation will trap you,
With a single will:
To make you just another puppet
That plays, gets lost in silence,
And steals...their...dreams.
A poem to finish,
Among dreams of paper.
Today death has smiled behind me.
A shadow to hide,
Returns to where I found you
To the hell from which you will never escape.
If I could remember
The traces of those I heard,
I would be reborn enveloped in tears.
I will return in every storm.
A light fused with my soul
And I sought a way to escape.
I will live hidden in the line
That reveals the blood that chills your skin,
Breaks the dreams that make you live.
Hands tremble,
Verses ignite
And never leave you...
...and never again.
