The Gallery of Lives (2016)

In the silent park of eternal sleep

Where no one dares to make a sound

That is the place for us to keep

Our beloved lost ones in the ground

Men and women turned in dust and bones

Saying their goodbyes day by day

Names in gold and silver on the stones

Marking the graves where their owners lay

Like a gallery of lives that have come to an end

Open for all to enter and walk in

To those willing to listen and understand

Memories in the air quietly start talking

Old tragedies covered in a blanket of peace

Stories of strength, happiness and love

Are whispered from the dirt under the trees

As well as from the grey sky high above

I listen to what the voices say

Carefully, not to miss a word

Some of them cry and others pray

For moving to a better world

Their haunting past starts chasing my mind

Suddenly the voices become loud

All of the lost souls wish to find

Peace in me, who will hear them out

The Red Boat (2016)

Black wings of a raven

Wave above the deep wells

Light blue like the heaven

From which the raindrop fell

Red boat quietly waits

For you to sail to hell

To join all fallen saints

Whose stories devils tell

Sweet paradise you'll taste

Of passion it will smell

But for your foolish haste

You'll end up in a cell

There is no way back dear

No matter how you yell

The drops of falling tears

Will sound like wedding bells

Tap, Tap, Tap (2016)

Who am I? I think about it 

And I tap the paper with my pen 

Tap, tap, tap 

Tap, tap, tap goes my pen 

I'm a writer, I tell stories 

And I tap the keyboard with my hands 

Tap, tap, tap 

Tap, tap, tap go my hands 

I'm a dancer, I do tap dance 

And I tap the floor with my shoes 

Tap, tap, tap 

Tap, tap, tap go my shoes 

I'm a singer in two school choirs 

And I tap to the rhythm with my foot 

Tap, tap, tap 

Tap, tap, tap goes my foot 

I'm a liker of posts on Instagram 

I double tap my phone with my thumb

Tap, tap - 

Tap, tap goes my thumb

Oh wow

What a life I have 

There is a lot of tap, tap, tap

- much better than a lot of crap, crap, crap
