The Girl from Boston Road
The night I met you
For the very first time,
I felt bewitched
By your beautiful wide-smile
Decorating your angelical face...
Nervous I was, I confess
And my whole world
Turned into confusion
For I did not have an idea
On how to approach you...
A moment of challenge arrived
And I have to make my move
By inviting you to the dance floor
Finding the courage
To get close to you
And being glad
That my offer you did not refuse!
Since that very special moment,

Absence Of Malice
Wandering around
Trapped between Time and Space
Alone and tired with a weary face
In pursuit of a real love, not yet found...
Miles I traveled, many times I stumbled
Trying to reach my ultimate goal,
Caught between a wall and a bouncing ball-
Nevertheless, I stayed humble
And I did not lose of myself control...
Yet, I have gone far beyond
No other man (I think) has gone
Looking for that love in another being
One who would treat me like her king...
Along the way of this long journey
I experienced moments of joy and pain
But everything seems still the same
Finding some things pleasant or corny...

Another Season Passing By
Today I gladly met you
In a Summer's sunny day
And I confessed to you
That it was my Birthday!
You stunningly reacted
With a surprising expression:
'Happy Birthday my friend'
'I can see that you are getting old'
I responded back without hesitation!
'Me, getting old? '
'You must be kidding
Or you are out of your mind'
'Old is the World
That was already here
Before I was born
And it will be here after
Forever I am gone'...
'Many Seasons I have witnessed
And tasted the sweetness and bitterness
Of my turbulent life

Outburst Of The Heart
When I turned around,
My back towards the sun,
The sun did not go away,
It remained there for everyone,
Just like a center stage!
It was the impetus, I knew this well,
My courage and my transport
That kept alive!
This love for long felt,
Except time-it seemed too short...
From comfort you changed to bitterness
And it was strange to understand
That the same tokens of tenderness
Would leave you with a clenched hand...
I grew cold, you openly claimed
And I did not ask you, I maintained,
When left alone with no choice
But forever erase,
The unspoken words from my mind

From a King to a Clown
Now that you are no longer around,
I feel like a King without a crown
Or a clown with a happy face,
Making everybody laugh in town
But feeling lost in space
For he has been broken apart,
Just playing his part
In the big stage of life
While feeling like a hound
With a destiny he cannot defy...
You made me a king,
Enjoying the pleasure
Of your amazing kingdom,
Letting me invade your dreams
Every single night
And held my hands every day
Whether it was Winter or Spring
With the tenderness and love
Of a real Queen...

Life As a Circle
There is a place
Where ideas come from
And you cannot know for sure
When you are actually there
Because all is imaginary in relation
To that which is already in existence
Or else, it is a copy
Of what someone else
Has brought back to us before...
Pure truth has no existence,
Being beyond within
The garden of originality,
Where all sorts of unearthy things
Are really grown
And some are plucked by the living-
The explorers, who like these things,
Have been transformed in this world
From the dust of another...

Without You
Where were you?
When I sat down in deep silence
Looking at the rain through my window,
While tears were rolling down on my face:
Surrounded by empty spaces
Which madly echoed my grief…
I asked the rain about you,
But it was all in vain,
For my question turned into water
Gone with the wind…
I was then a lonely soul
Looking for your company,
Within a world of nothingness…
Outside, the sky kept crying,
While inside, embraced by walls,
My heart was falling apart
In great desperation…

A Wanderer, I Am...
Wandering around
Trapped between Time and Space
Alone and tired with a weary face
In pursuit of a real love, not yet found...

Nevertheless, I stayed humble
And I did not lose of myself control...

Looking for that love in another being

The Fall's Arrival
Between the muted walls
Of my small space I call my own,
I displaced all my belongings
And changed the picture of my home
To resemble the now colored World...
Like an artist's palette:
Green, Yellow, Redd and Sky's Blue,
All those magical colors,
Each playing an important role
In my everyday mood,
In New York City...
Even the shiny reflection of copper,
Touches my inner self,
When totally secluded in my fortress
While awaiting patiently and motionless
For the arrival of the Fall...
I have learned that the human's heart
Was carefully designed by the Lord

Autumn's Love
Supine, breathing
To the rhythm of the song
Coming out my heart...
Not yet asleep, nor soon will be,
I am dreaming anyway
Of the love awaiting for me,
Maybe tomorrow...
I am sure
That so much depends on tomorrow
When my sorrow will be
Softly shaken like the leaves
That beautifully decorate October,
When freely they fall...
Those bright and colorful days
Dressing every space of the Autumn:
In rust, amber, rose and plum,
Subtler hues of peach and blue,
Skipping lightly the sidewalks,
