Slumber

I rise between words and dreams,so hard to unwrap and so deep to swim in, that only the night gives me enough peace. Looking at a blank page I find nothing to fill it with, as if my life as a whole collapsed into itself. Defying a purpose that so distant away shimmers I turn my head to watch you sleep. Dreaming things that I was banished from, living in those tenebrous depths that I once belonged to. And I know, in my encumbered heart that I am lost. Lost in a labyrinth that enjoys holding me captive; nothing but a rat smashing it's head in the maze's walls. But as the night guards me, and always being my most devoted confidant I know that now, despite my stray, I am not completely beyond redemption. My salvation, the stake that keeps me grounded in these misty times of my ridiculous existence, is you.
So in my twisted devotion, all my debt can be paid like this. Watching over your restless sleep, as the blank page keeps staring at me.

nEUROzone

The whole world is eye-balling Europe for the continuous stream of emerging problems. And shouts from every corner predict the impending doom of what we once knew as the European Union.
The image will start getting clear in June, when Greece will vote if they want to remain in the EU or not. Spain, Portugal, Ireland and lately Italy are putting requests for money on the European Central Bank's desk, money that believe or not comes in high part from Germany's central bank. In this WWII seeming scenario where the Europe starts owing Germany their existence, the runt of E.U. Romania,the one always taking punches in the mouth for being and saying stupid things, cleverly postponed the adoption of Euro as a national currency until 2019. Year in which if we don't grab tightly the reins now, there will be nothing to adopt.
To be cruel and unfair I can blame all this jitter on Germany who proves again to be too efficient for the good of the others.
All in all, this year is filled with elections all over Europe and such be aware of all the crap served on a daily basis by politicians. They rarely have any decency left and after the lines are drawn, it matters not who won and who lost. Because it is simple to see that politicians never actually lose.
