The Same Moon

(Daniel Roy Connelly)

In The Same Moon, the narrator is wandering around Rome having broken up with the love of his life. The city seems to swallow him under the same moon that shines on his former love, a continent away.

I have eaten pizza  
and my sandals contain stones,  
I’m looking for your reflection  
in the shop windows of Rome,  
It’s night-time now, every  
signorina clasps her fella 
And the moon above’s  
a ball of mozzarella.  
 
It’s the same moon shining its light on you,  
The same moon’s starting a fight with me,  
The same moon’s keeping us going against the grain.  
 
I pass the Colosseum  
where the tourists stare at sand  
And a kid has LEGO emperors  
in the palm of his hand,  
Where barbarous executions  
shake in their ghostly slumber,  
How I wish I had been  
among their number.  
 
It’s the same moon shining its light on you  
The same moon’s starting a fight with me 
The same moon’s keeping us going against the grain.  
 
All the churches  
that won’t have me  
And the marble  
that denies me  
Link their arms  
to box me clever  
inside a Roman hole,  
I feel nothing and I want  
to come home,  
I feel nothing since  
you vacated my soul.  
 
It’s the same moon shining its light on you,  
The same moon’s starting a fight with me,  
The same moon’s keeping us going against the grain.

Winter in Hearts

By Karlo Čavlović

Even though some relationships feel perfect due to our adoration for the other person, in most cases the real situation is nowhere near. Perfection is not achievable, but mediocrity is even worse. We should never settle for someone who does not cherish us, but we also shouldn't be the person who doesn't cherish their partner fully. When we feel that something is off and that our love for our partner is simply fading away, it's better to be honest than continue to hurt both ourselves and our partner.

So wie immer

By NiS

Zwei Leben eines Mannes, die er parallel lebt. An seinem Wohnort lebt er mit ihr (1. Strophe) und an seinem Arbeitsplatz lebt er mit ihr (2. Strophe). Diese Situation gibt es gar nicht so selten, es gab sie immer und es wird sie wohl auch immr geben. Jeder kannte oder kennt jemanden oder hat zumindest davon gehört oder war selbst ein Teil davon?
