Confession I confess that poetry It's a strange force a ball of illusion filled by reality and the desire to cry When the storm touches you I confess that poetry It's the silence when the heart is relieved It's the courage of the smile On the thorns of Thoughts, I confess Confessions Of A Mermaid she is a mermaid who drinks tea from the burnt trees Roll the ash on the tongue From the buried voice the mermaid catches a handful of sea play in the orbits Who long for the earth Poor mermaid confessed stepping on thorns of the sonorous colors And swallows the glass of lights I Confess That I like you when my body asked for your hands I like you when the stars fall asleep with you and the moon wakes up with me I love you like someone who wants Kamasutra I like you like someone who likes to walk along the river I love you like someone screaming in the sadness of pleasure I like you, I confess
