The Silent Lake & 2 Other Poems

THE SILENT LAKE

The silent lake is all around

And far away I see the ground

The blue of water fills my heart

Just like a lovely work of art.

I know I left them all behind

No fear,no worries here to find

It’s only peace and solitude

And that’s what makes me feel so good.

How can I leave this paradise

And go back to the world of lies?

Oh,lake!Forever stay within my sight

Give me more freedom and more light!

DAY AFTER DAY

One day you’re happy,one day you cry

One day you fly and touch the sky

One day you fall and bite the dust

One day you feel you live too fast

One day you’re chasing an illusion

One day you find a new conclusion

One day you fight for an ideal

One day your nightmare is real

And so you struggle every day

An actor in a complicated play

A simple pawn into fate’s hands

Until one day when the play ends.

THE JOKER

He appears to wear a crown

But he’s nothing but a clown

He talks a lot of different things

And sometimes happily he sings

He wants you to believe his lies

He’s glad only if the truth dies

But besides his voice of a smoker

He’s only a pathetic joker.

He wants to sell you an illusion

That he presents as a conclusion

So if you follow him with trust

Be sure you will end in dust!
