STRANGER

Stranger

I am the

Tango in your head

As you wake up,

The clutter that you want

To fix

I am the

Letter that was

Never sent.

The guitar solo

That cries at night

I am the

The gift that you’ve

Longed to receive.

The heavy breathing

In your ears.

The sunrise that you

Long to see at last

The coat that you

Keep staring at

I am the stroke of midnight

That stares back.

The unfamiliar book.

I am the drinking binge

You had all night

The grace note

That made you cry.

I am the

Blank page

You want to fill.

The steam that

Caresses your back.

I am the

Art piece

You can’t decipher.

The silken robe

On your lover’s bed.

The wall that you

Want to vandalize.

The milk that

Spilled on your table.

The shirt that looks

Gorgeous on you.

I am the

Color you never

Knew existed.

The things that

You’ve stolen.

The taste in your mouth

That you crave for.

I am the

First drop of rain

On the palm

Of your hands.

The amulet you bought

At Marrakech.

The stifling heat

That melts you.

The glass of water

That quenches you.

I am the vine crawling

Up your window.

The broken string

On your violin.

The scent on her skin.

The medicine you

Have to take.

The condition that you

Have to make.

I am the blinding light

From that passing car.

The wind that kissed

Your cheek.

The crowd that cheers

To your songs.

I am the lies you said.

The breakfast you

Missed.

The business card

You lost.

The open window

Where you saw

Her naked.

The blanket that

You stained.

The flight you took

On feverish impulse.

I am the

First cigarette

You ever lit.

The photograph that you

Hide from your mother.

I am the

Lust that you

Keep from your friends.

The hangover that

You want to end.

I am your Stranger.

I am with you…

I am your Stranger.

I am in you.

CHASING THE WESTWIND (Revised)

CHASING THE WESTWIND
~YVAcosta~
1st performed in public at
SPRING OF POETS 2008
Alliance Francaise de Manille

with Manifesto on synth

Recorded material to be posted soon...

Chasing the Westwind

Take me to

The morning kisses

That I only dream of.

Lead me to a place

Where Time is gone

Dancing in the rain.

Take me to

Wide-open spaces

Far across the skies.

Slip into a daydream

With me and

Breathe me an oasis.

Deep in the maze

Of your mindscapes

I come soaring.

In the arcane labyrinth

Of you,

I swim.

Step into the

Sand and seas of

This astral playground,

Embraced by the light

That takes me away.

Deep in the maze

Of your mindscapes

I come soaring.

In the arcane labyrinth

Of you,

I swim.

Take me to the

Morning kisses

That I only dream of.

Lead me to a place

Where Time is gone

Dancing in the rain.

LAYA ~YVAcosta (for Project Ganymede)~

Laya

I. Silence all this madness…

Cease the voices in my head

Crashing through the red.

Abandoned peace.

II. Thunder breathing starkness…

Swords come reaping endlessly

Waiting for the dawn.

To conquer me.

Man against the Self…

The battle’s never over

‘Til we face the abyss from within

Free from the night.

Give in to the light.

III. Shatter all this sadness…

Break the chain that scars my skin.

Bleeding lands unseen.

The shadows grieve.

IV. And this war is never-ending…

By the grace of The Fire, step into redemption.

Calling your soul.

Tear down the wall.

Man versus Man…

The battle’s never over

‘Til we face the abyss from within

Free from the night.

Give in to the light.

Bridge:

And we are slaves

To our own misleading,

Ever unbreathing.

Remains forbidden.

All be forgotten.

FEVER PITCH ~YVAcosta (for Project Ganymede) ~

Fever Pitch

Lightning

Fever thrusting

Flowing…Rolling…

Velvet fire is thy skin.

Kiss of wine.

Fever thrusting.

Lightning

Souls wailing

Ever yearning

Purple sky is whirling.

Rippling water,

Drizzling morning.

Souls wailing.

Ever wild,

Gustful…

blustering

All consuming,

encompassing…

Ever conquering…

Our love is.

Lightning…

Lightning

Storm is rising

Burning…Craving…

River Venus,

To my lips come flowing.

Kiss of wine.

Storm is rising.

Ever wild,

Gustful…

blustering

All consuming,

encompassing…

Ever conquering…

Our love is.

Lightning…
