Breath of Life
Life… you that control people’s lives,
That take from people happiness, hopes and dreams…
The life of my dreams…
You can not take.
You gave me my life.
I loved you during all my childhood,
And until today, I continue being your friend
And still loving you.
But why Life?
If I grew up loving you,
And being your friend for all these years.
Why did you change my life?
In this life that now I live,
I can only live in dreams what I had in the past,
I can only live in dreams…
What you will give me for my future.
From this happiness that only in dreams I have,
You Life, who control people’s lives,
Who takes from people happiness, hopes and dreams,
The life of my dreams you can not take.
But… you Life, that have the power of life,
That have in your hands our lives.
I bag, I implore you…
To return to me the life that I used to live.
At home. London, March 1990

I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY
Breath of Life I wish I could live intensely, The time lost in the past, The lifeless past time, The time lost in life. I wish I could live intensely, Because time has not given me its time, Because I didn't feel the time in time, Simply... because I didn't have time....
SECRET

I AM
Breath of Life I want your gigantic hands over my eyes, I want the sleep of peace, I want my rest... Makes me sleep. Don't let me sleep I feel uneasy, be carried away by thoughts Let me get away from you. I want to feel a deep sleep, Who will take me with winged wings...

MY CHRISTMAS WISH
Breath of Life I have a wish... To live a dream. Sleep without thinking without feeling, That Christmas is coming And one more year has passed away. To sleep and not remember that I will not see, I will not touch and embrace, My beloved children Which on...
