Two Giants

Noone can embrace, they can only listen
When I tell the story of two strong giants,
They are all ears, to catch that one wile.
Did someone brave, who breasts the fire,
And melts the ice while he solely abides,
Do the best he could before the last mire?
One inside the other, they do not admire
Because that two giants have only one desire.
One can quench the fire, but cannot melt the ices,
One can vaporize the ice, but burns with fire of desire.

Deep Woods

When tender is the night, and the woods are deep
And the only light - as Orion's - piercing the dark,
Gazing a child in his sleep - child whomever he fears
He wishes he has gone, and left him to his sound sleep.
The river near is dark - not even dogs dare to bark -
And it's too far from any park - no wetness, no seep.
A child, who is left to a deathly sleep - still being mild
But the morn is far - too far to being left, way behind.
And Time! Oh Time! How dare you give a child
Endlessly sleep and those woods a languor that's oh so deep?

At dawn when life at woods again is dry,
And no reason is left to stay in the sky,
Orion takes care the child who now eternally sleeps,
The child sees someone - or something - dim:
A light - a palm that caresses him!
