The Calm before the Storm

Tags

, , , , , , ,

I don’t know if a storm is coming
but things lately have been relatively calm
it feels weird for some reason
yet inspiration has started to come back

The usual worry of our times
never be stress free or something is wrong
it’s not just me I know it though
I’m back in the mood for writing a song

A song about hyper productivity
never rest, always keep trying for the best
run things concurrently
be ready when it’s time for the ultimate test

Somebody told me today
get some rest before you get tired
it’s the key to consistency
though self discipline also required

We ‘ve reached a level where
if things are going well we get worried
if things are bad is normal
maybe a post trauma of the virus Covid

Maybe a storm is not coming
maybe I should enjoy being calm for days
and I should write that song
that will speak of our times’ tales

V for Val

Tags

, , , , , , ,

She’s not gone yet
that’s a first
maybe something wrong with her?
same thirst

Someday we ‘ll look back
and see love
not a single hack?
maybe for laugh

The number is eight
decade record
is there such thing as late?
split of a second

It’s still the beginning
going well
no signs of mistreating?
no bell

She’s not gone yet
that’s a first
should I be worried about her?
I’m blessed

Away she will run
maybe one day
are you sure it’s not just fun?
Yay!

Let’s hope she will
remain my gal
would you, I mean, for her, kill?
V for Val!

Cheat

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,

It’s in your mind all the time
but you still resist
even when you are doomed
you persist

All around you everyone cheats
why shouldn’t you
things don’t move on this way
being you

Then again when is it a cheat?
when is it not?
questions to boggle the mind
on the spot

Principles may fade sometimes
when mind not clear
it’s tempting to be honest
oh dear

At a time everyone cheats
you play fair
shows a man of purity
you dare

Strange not to cheat today
life moving fast
someone who does not cheat
at last

Nothing

Tags

, , , , ,

The result has been announced
the result is nothing
all the time and effort put into it
has resulted to nothing

Disappointing as it might be
the excuse means nothing
as the result is not the expected one
the excuse is also nothing

You got it all wrong again
that’s why the result is nothing
you need to change your mind
to turn nothing into something

That nothing means negligence
that result means avoidance
you didn’t deal with the problem
you left it develop into nothing

Improvement is nothing
if the direction is wrong
the result is also nothing
when will is not strong

Don’t stop for nothing!

Excited & Stressed

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,

This all goes backwards just to be clear
life though still starts with a tear
continuous uncertainty triggers fear
now nothing is really enough dear

Quick and dirty tricks had no trust
back then the way to make it fast
happiness does not seem to last
the way it used to be in the past

Slowly moving on but still willing to try
there is no right or wrong just getting by
like pretty much every other point in life
excited and stressed at the same time

The Muse Within

Tags

, , , , , , ,

So many things need to come out of my head
so much music ready to be unleashed into the world
the sense of creativity this time has reached level red
and I am alone in the studio as if I do not want to be heard

I have played and replayed this inside my mind
I think I ‘m ready but maybe I ‘m not, who’s to decide
the art has to be released, for other people to find
this kind of self esteem needs not to be denied

Is it the right time or is it not? nobody knows for sure
it’s just a matter of a brave move, you have to believe in
the hesitation is normal, the publicity you have to endure
once you show to the world the muse that comes from within

Last Walk: X

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,

It’s heavy when you realise how much time has passed
things are not getting easier yet this is still a must
we are all part of this and eventually going to turn to dust
the memory deep inside the mind recalls that walk

It’s already a decade since then and it’s still strong
I ‘ve gone through a lot lately but it’s still in there
all the conversations, the plans, of course, the dare
come to think of it, that walk wasn’t after all that long

The music in my head today comes from back then
the immortality of music, the high hopes, the dream
the only thing compromised is indeed my self esteem
but a decade later I ‘m happy to remember that walk, the last walk: ten

Rock’n’Roll Girl

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

She’s giving you the chills when she’s around
you can’t be yourself, about it, there’s no doubt

You moved on too quickly because you are impatient
she forced you to wait by calling you self-complacent

An impulsive passion has grown that deep inside burns
she is no game to play with, wait till she returns

The hope remains while the waiting still goes on
she rocked your mind and left you hanging upon

You are willing to wait for as long as you have to
a younger you, the rock’n’roll girl made you get back to

The Progress is Slow

Tags

, , , , , , ,

“There has been a change in the plans” you hear
every so often in the daily routine that it is now clear
nothing gets done in a short amount of time
everything keeps stalling and “needs more time”

Not sure if that’s the standard or the standard is the excuse
apparently there’s delay in everything or less is of use
which one is better or worse I cannot decide upon
it depends on your perception of what you can control

It’s almost like a mountain, a target for every one and each
the closer you climb to the top the more is getting out of reach
and when all these things in your mind make you feel low
you can accept that the progress is and has always been slow
