Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the hate

We wouldn´t mind about love

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the pain

We wouldn´t mind about pleasure

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the doubt

We wouldn´t mind being sure

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever dream

We wouldn´t mind about achieve it

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever try

We wouldn´t need to insist

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever taken the first step

We wouldn´t need to turn back

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever been created

It would be possible to sleep

[or maybe we wouldn´t exist]

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the rhyme

There would be no poetry

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the prose

We wouldn´t say

Who knows

There weren´t words

Everybody was going to raise the guns

And every excess and every shortage

Would be decimated

Who knows

If we hadn´t ever known the paradox or the unknown

We wouldn´t need balance or resolution

Who knows

If was the essential unnecessary

Who knows if there was ever

a glimmer of light

[Or of darkness]

Who knows,

It would fall on us right now

[like an angel fallen]

forgottenness

[forgiveness]

… And we never dared again

 Who knows?

Who knows?

NONSENSE What else can I do?! Get dressed for success N´ show up on a TV show Plagiarizing pop stars Pay the “bots” To win the game So maybe someone will listen to N´ the platform is going to sell Come on standard Take off of me Also the intentions I never had Maybe I can shut up all those things I never thought about say I dismiss sleeping pills I fall asleep expecting For a bright idea Like a kind of spell It can make me become from coal to diamond But I don´t believe in miracles Just some musical notes It should be enough Same if notes of flowers or fruit What else can I ask?! A lighter, a shower, comics… Nonsense I´m the one who did I forgot about myself Remove it from the butt Put it on the breast Fashion Star without rhyme Nothing with anything Toilet n´ swinging pool Boo!

COMES WITH THE TERRITORY The past is what We have left behind Don't get used to the bad habit About the future We´ll know tomorrow Don't surrender to the night´s rules It´s nice to be normal It´s the present moment as a gift To the madness n´ life´s rules Decided to die Days to fight Drops to get tired Night to pray Miracles expected Seconds to love Cross to carry An appointment with death N´ the soul doesn´t forget That there’s an eternity over there It comes with the territory But let everyone drink From your own well It's the day passing by But let each one die Of your own dream Copyright © 2024 Isiely Ayres [All rights reserved]

Keep Praying There´s a lack of words But it is worth it as if it was an explanation The day is timeless n´ a wide storm happens at night... it gets dark  Well, I´m leaving I´m taking a huge luggage Good memories hopes of turning back N´ the dream of a better tomorrow Coz´ although everything I felt in love With those lost eyes at the streets When I felt a good heart Was getting lost in tension´s inertia Keep praying So that I get well keep praying So that it doesn't rain tomorrow Thanks for the enchantment and disenchantment I keep praying for you Copyright © 2023 Isiely Ayres [All rights reserved]
