I Love You Just Enough
A restless fever
Burning like a torch in your eyes…
My aching heart can feel
The desperate need you try to hide..
A part of you is longing
To be free from me, I know…
And even when my cries,
I come to realize:
That I love You
Just enough to let you go…
I can't stand to see
You searching for the words
To tell me gently, what went through…
If one of us must suffer,
It will give me
The satisfaction just to know,
That I was the one to ease your pain,
By saying what you want to hear: Bye!
I love you just enough, to let you go…

Just A Dream-II
While you sleep like an angel
Under a silent and starry night.
I want to penetrate
Deeply in your dream
And become like a spy!
I want to find you in a sunny day
When the flowers are happy smiling
Watching the colorful butterflies play
While bewitched by its scent…
I want to climb the highest mountain,
Hoping to find you on the very top
Patiently waiting for me
And expecting to get
Drowned in my ardent lips…
I want to travel through
The Seven Seas
And feel the soothing breeze
Gently caressing my body
While I think of you!

Surprise
While climbing a tall mountain
Short of breath as expected
Desperately trying to reach the top
I lost my sense of direction
And to make matters worse,
I lost the map I only had
Nevertheless, one trail I must follow:
To achieve my ultimate goal...
Suddenly, by surprise,
I heard a strange voice
And also felt a strong light
Blindfolding me completely
I stopped, almost paralyzed
Possessed by a great feeling
That an angel was watching me...
I heard this angel's voice
Loud and clear:
'Why are you rushing,
When you are almost there? '
Flabbergasted by this voice,

I Will Not Be There
One day you will go back
To one of those familiar places
We used to go frequently
And sit down again on the same bench
That still clearly preserves our names
Encrypted inside a heart
Now, motionless and brokenhearted
Perhaps deeply thinking about me
But I will be not be there
Like before, kissing you passionately
For I have been gone forever
Gone with the wind
As proof, my dear
I left my footprints behind
Deeply hidden in your heart and mind
And the red rose one day you gave me
I threw it in the wild river
Long time ago and by now
It should be already gone for always

A Code Of Silence
When the spoken words
Cease to tenderly caress her ears
And without any fears,
A poet's hand grabs a magic pen
To write lovely stanzas,
The ones that cannot be erased,
Since they were inspired by her name.
An inspiration that from heaven came
Dedicated to the Angel behind the violin,
The essence of my everything...
A code of silence is born
Reaching the point of no return...
Only written words remain,
A love-message spread around the world,
Traveling through sunshine, snow and rain,
Describing times well spent
And the secret of her scent...
Nothing said or done was in vain,
She became the center of my universe,
A love so passionate and so intense,

An Inscrutable Silence
The no message message
A space without a frame
No sound or a syllable
leaving behind a name
Inscrutable silence
Wrong number didn't dare?
Nothing in particular
Though someone had been there...
For they tried more than once,
To see if I was home,
I was of course, they knew it
By not answering the phone...
Perhaps it was destiny
I left hanging on the line,
'Why didn't you answer?
We called time after time'

A Heart And A Question!
Why did you trespass
The boundaries set by my heart?
You became an intruder,
Like a burglar at midnight
Stealing the most valuable jewels
Of now, this empty house!
Of yourself, you deprived
The chance of becoming my spouse...
MY great love and principles you defied,
Playing with my honest feelings,
And as result, down you really fell...
For stealing my precious heart,
Now, I charge you with a felonious crime,
And for making my life a pure hell,
For you, I have a big surprise,
Wait! until you find out! ...
With a thief like you,
It is not worthy to stick around...
There is not forgiveness or gratitude,

Madly In Love With The Moon
Tonight, I saw you so radiant,
Elegantly dressed like a happy bride,
Carrying such a wide and happy smile
Knowing that for many years
We were apart by thousands of miles...
You stood firmly with a great pride,
Aware that I am madly in love with you...
You have inspired me faithfully
In my many sleepless nights...
Along with your dear friends, the stars,
You gave me pure love and company
Penetrating my mind and heart...
Tonight, I can smell your bewitching scent
When having you to me so near...
Tonight, I have no more fear
When I have you so closed and yet so far
Knowing that tomorrow again
We are going to be apart...
It is so hard to know this fact
That I can feel rolling down the tears

A Spirit Uncloaked
Was it somewhere in my early youth
That my heart disclosed this later truth?
When-where-with whom I belong,
Shadows-show me how I went wrong!
Why so near is farthest apart
And time so dear
Mocks real effort! ...
Remember me! Remember me!
For we have not yet
Answered each other souls,
Uncaptured, dare be lighter
And just hearts find a brighter star,
Hesitating wings seeking your flight
Away from scorn
And sight tarnished life! ..
Now, lest fear shall have me flutter,
Stripping myself of childhood shelter
In some unknown but worthy way,

Young Butterflies
Young butterflies,
Please, let your tender wings grow
Before you try to hit the skies
In an attempt to early fly
When the time is not right!
Scared to Hell you would be
If this dangerous endeavor
You would desperately try
When the time
Doesn't seem to be right!
Take my advice
Young butterflies,
I, the humble gardener
Who in my colorful garden
Have seen many like you
Trying to fly for the first time,
Defying the rules of gravity
When the time is not right!
