Candles


The miles that keep us apart
Are meant to be a test
For our love to remain
For our love to be blessed
Thus I cannot see
The worries of tomorrow
The troubles of today
And the pain of yesterday
For your love shines on me
Like the sun lights up the sky
And when we finally find
What we’ve been waiting for all the time,
We will stand strong
Both of our souls united
And our joy will be shining
Like candles lighted.


Ink on paper


With every line written,
With every touch of the feather on paper
Thoughts drift away
And appear on the sheet
As words of a mind
With a meaning unsaid
Remaining like this
Through time of silence
To be the argument unheard
But the phrase written.


You Took Your Love Away


You took your love away
Without giving me the chance to see
What went wrong on what occasion
Where we’ve been
What we’ve been doing

Words you couldn’t say
You kept in silence
The memory of my mind
Shocked with pain
Disappointment and anger
My side is empty now
For you took your love away

It doesn’t mean I can’t go on
For I found the meaning of all the things lost
About to build what I call a life
Since you took your love away.


No Promise


I’ll share my life with you
From this instant on
Will be the one to confide
The one to cherish
I’ll lay my heart upon
My soul I’d give to you
Though I won’t promise
What I can’t
But everything is worth a try
And you are surely worth it.


Miss You

I miss you
When the morning arrives and the sun arises;
I miss you
As the birds sing their songs for a day full of surprises;
I miss you
When I lie awake in my bed to start a new day;
I miss you
Even when the sky appears to be grey;
I miss you
And my thoughts are with you wherever I go;
I miss you,
That’s when time is passing to slow;
I miss you
And your laughter and your voice;
I miss you
And the time we spend to rejoice;
I miss you
When my day ends and I go to bed;
I miss you
As I sing your song and remember the words you said;
I miss you
And all the things you do;
I miss you
But in my heart I know that you miss me, too.


Shining


A thousand miles I’ve been away,
A thousand times I’ve been too far;
The light you brought into my day
Is lost somewhere on the way.

I walk the streets without the hope
Of finding what I’m looking for;
With pain and ache I need to cope,
You’re the one, you’re my rope.

I’m holding on to the words you say;
You’re emotions I can feel.
Together our souls will sway,
Together our hands will pray.

Let your love guide me trough
The unknown fields of tomorrow;
Let your love shine on me,
So my love can shine on you.


Hold on


Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to your hope
Hold on to your life
A miracle will unfold.


Like a bird

Like a bird I fly into your arms
To embrace you,
You embrace me.
My home is getting closer;
For you are my home
Nothing seems real when you’re around,
And yet everything is real;
The bud of life
I’ll share with you,
The rain, the sun, the stars, the moon;
Every piece of life possible
Is mine
And yet it’s yours;
Day and night disappear;
Time is an illusion,
Is not important.

Your heart is my castle,
Your arms are the wall,
Your tears are the water,
That keeps us afloat
Over all the worries.

Like a bird I fly into your arms
To embrace you.


A Song Of Love

Quietly and unnoticed, the sound of a beautiful tune
Creeps into the heart,
To make it sing and dance.
The beat of the heart
Accompanies the lovely melody of the soul;
Creating a miracle of emotions.
A song comes to life;
Lighting up the dark;
Floating across the starry night sky
And leading one life to another.


My Heart


On rocky roads I’ve been traveling
all my life to find the truth,
Took the paths I thought I knew
Without realizing what I needed to do.
Then all of a sudden you came around
And found a heart that’s been broken for a while;
You didn’t ask, you didn’t mean
But you un-broke it with your smile.

You belong to me
Like I belong to you;
Let our two hearts beat together;
This dream is going to come true.
Your hand belongs to me
Like mine belongs to you,
And I’ll tell you nothing but the truth,
My heart, it beats for you.

When the sun won’t rise on the horizon
For us to see the magic of life,
Then we’ll be the magic that lights up the sky;
That brings joy to the world where you and I reside.
The melody inside of me
Has been inspired by your light;
It serenades the whole day through
And keeps my dreams alive at night.

Without you I won’t go
Any place I know,
The love you have rests inside of me
And makes the whole world see

That You belong to me
Like I belong to you;
Let our two hearts beat together;
This dream is going to come true.
Your hand belongs to me
Like mine belongs to you,
And I’ll tell you nothing but the truth:
My heart, it beats for you.
