Never Giving Up

Barely conscious
Or hardly caring which way
I face the World,
I take a bolder step,
Traveling steadily
Against the wind
That is sometimes too strong,
An air so cold
That it numbs my senses
Until I feel myself
Turned inside out…

II try to keep the direction
I have set for
So that somehow,
I will arrive somewhere
As I know the path
I have followed
Has brought me
To a better place,
A freer state of mind
Where I will truly
Become myself!

Priceless Discovery!

Barely conscious
Or hardly caring which way
I face the World,
I took a border step,
Traveling steadily
Against the furious wind
That was sometimes too strong
And so cold it mumbled my senses
Until I felt myself
Completely turned inside out...

I tried to keep the direction
That I have set for
So that somehow,
I will arrive somewhere
Knowing that this path
I have followed faithfully
Has brought me to a state of mind
Where I have proudly
Become myself...

The Trail Of Love

There is a region in the World
Which has no boundaries
Nor barriers either physical or mental
Restricting the passage of pilgrims
To the hollowed land
Of communication...

One cannot arrive
By boat or engine
Nor fly on the steel wings
Of bird machines
For there is one transport
And it takes two
To travel the inspiration of love...

Come! The path
Clears before us,
It is near! Hand in hand,
Let's discover the way
To each other-
Over a single trail,
We will walk the direction
Of share purpose...

Retreat

One step more and another.
The next step follows fast.
Don't look behind - the bridge crumbles.
Once started, how can I go back?

I've turned just a fraction to try it.
There's flames and strong wind and I'm scared.
I see your dear eyes in a twinkling.
There's no twinkle in them I fear.

I'd ask you for help in retreating.
I know how strong and assured you can be.
You face this departure with feeling.
But none of those feelings for me.

I'd lament with your strong mind for assurance.
Why this path? I have faltering feet.
I forget it was you - set me on it.
It's from you that I turn in defeat.

Still

I still hear my heart
Beating loudly like drums
Calling you at every instant
Searching for you
From place to place
Lost in time and shadow
Traveling through
A never-ending path
That leads to nowhere...

A Living Fantasy

Awaiting patiently
For a new sunrise to arrive
With my heart already healed
And my mind at peace,
I still envision someone special
Coming my way one day!

Someone who will not walk
Slowly in front of me
Or behind as my shadow
But someone close by my side
Heading the same direction
Toward the apex of life!

I want someone humble,
Fragile and caring
Bearing the softness of
A beautiful flower
And as colorful as the Rainbow!
Someone who will not
Look into my eyes
Instead of my heart!

I need someone
Holding with pride my hand
While walking facing the Sun
Without going blind,
In search of new horizons!
Someone like you!
The one I haven't yet found!

Now, the question still remains:
Where are you my love?
I can hardly wait to meet you
Since time is passing by rapidly
And only the dream will stay behind!
Hurry up! Come to me!
And make this fantasy a reality!

Step Inside Love

Step inside love, let me find you a place
Where all the cares of the day
Will be carried away
By the smile on your face
We are together now and forever
Come what may
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay
You look tired love, let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold
Rest your head on my shoulder
And love me tonight
I'll always be here if you should need me
Night and day
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay
When you leave me, say you'll see me again
For I know in my heart
We will not be apart
And I'll miss you till then
We'll be together now and forever
Come what may
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay

And Suddenly The World Goes Dark

to Simoncelli

The night lost its star
And suddenly the world goes dark
The light turns out to dim
And I barely see the clear sight

The life without you
And suddenly the world goes blind
Where did you go from this way
And what you left behind

The love lost its warmth
And suddenly the world goes cold
Did the wind blow too strong
Or did I forget to take my breath

The face without smile
And suddenly the world goes hard
I could only feel bitterness
And the cry of sorrow screaming inside

Face The Wind

Face the wind
Feel the pressure
It blows me away
It rushes past to God knows where
When I turn my self to stand in its path
Feel it Almost like
Radiant fingers Invigorating
Strokes energy through my flowing hair
Filling with joy my heart
Soul overflows with passion I feel
I hear nothing but the wind
It is everything in my ears
And when I finally speak
Words leave my mouth
And all leave presence
As wind captures them and
Steals them from the listening
To hoard them in its vast secret place
Far away beyond most imagination
Feel the wind
Speak into it your secrets
Taste, Smell its messages
Hear voices it carries
From animals and trees and
Storms and lovers
See it, watch its patterns
Where it comes from and goes to
Look at its journey, its traveling
But can’t
You can’t see it
But you can feel it
Somewhere it is deep
And its colours would be beautiful
Face the wind
Full-force you feel it and
It blows you away
Feel its soothing power
Breathe in life
Feel
Face the wind.

Free

Free like the river
Flowing freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneselfs troubled mind
Freer than the clocks hands
Tickin way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin
But possessing riches more than all
And Im free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shining through my soul
Free from feelin heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For thats the infinite start
Im gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a babys sleepin eyes
Im free like a river
Flowin freely through infinity
Im free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not to be
Im much freer - like the meaning of the word free that crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity

I'm Glad Somebody Does!

May your memories be greater...
On this day.
This day...
You can say,
Brought you into this 'now' from yesterday.
You can say that...and,
You can say anything you wish.
Say something about what you think,
Is missed!
And you hold onto a desire it can be retreived.
But you have to leave the scenery behind.
It's outdated.

You have walked down that path.

It's okay to have those kinds of memories,
When they do not linger.
They are enjoyed when they do come...
And the going away isn't painful.
Even in the bitterness then...
There shouldn't be any bitterness,
To cling onto now.

May your memories be greater...
On this day.
This day...
You can say,
Brought you into this 'now' from yesterday.

You have walked down that path...
How many times before?
No need to quizz and analyze yourself.
Know you've donated and done your duty.
And just step!
Slowly away if you have to tip toe,
But just step!

Then...
When your memories can actually spark,
With a radiance you can only describe as...
A sense of complete joy within you.
Bouncing another step forward,
And enhancing...
Then 'kazaam!

The power of doubt begins to shade the Sun,
And cloud the blue sky!
Then suddenly the thunder roars,
And the lightening strikes.
Leaving you in an indecisive state of mind!

'I hate that shhh..'

Shhhh! !

You may say anything you wish,
About 'this' and 'that'.
And who should have washed the dishes!
And who was reponsible for letting out the cat?

Comeon!
You can only have it so good!

Then it dawns on you,
Something you think you might have missed...
Can someday be retreived.
You might believe that...
But you have to leave the scenery behind.
It's outdated.
Clip and paste it.
Put it in a safe place in your mind!

You know what I'm saying?
You do?

'I'm glad somebody does! '
Yes...
I'm glad somebody does!

May your memories be greater today,
Than the ones you are feeling freer to let go.
Let them go...
To be among the others,
You have chosen to pick.
From a wealth of good ones.

'Why did they laugh at you? '

When? Laugh? Who?

'When you repeated what I said...
'I'm glad somebody does.'

They were laughing at you,
And that 'snide' remark!

'What 'snide' remark?
They couldn't see or hear me! '

The Fear Of Being Followed...

i am afraid that my words have become your fetters,
so i stop talking
but the more i keep the silence within the frame
like a painting
the more i feel the brokenness of
my face
i touch each portion with the fingers
only to feel the roughness of
my soul

i am afraid i am clearing a path for you to follow me
you think it is a right direction and you write my name in your notebook
i am paranoia
look, there is no path, this is not the path, this path is
merely an attempt
to find my world, not yours,

i am afraid that i may be responsible for another loss,
and so i quit
i still have other places to go
each step i erase like a scribbling of a chalk on the board
there is no scent in my
vowels, no color in my consonants

look, look inside your throat
there is something red there like a sunset
there is no shadow of a tree
in fact, there is nothing there
to fill the thirst
and the hunger

i leave you now,
and for sure, i assure you, you will be happier
without me

if you follow me still,
the rope shall win.....

Whistle In The Wind

There are days when the world
just seems to get you down.
Everywhere someone is moaning
and on television, the news is bleak.
You close your ears in hope
to restore some peace into your life
and get away from the rat race
that seemingly follows you around.
My advice is to stop for a moment
and just step outside
and start whistling in the wind.
Whistle a happy tune to chase the blues away.
Whistle in the wind's cool breeze
as it revitalizes your senses.
Slowly you will feel better,
refreshed and clear of mind
ready to take on the onslaught
of the world for a small while
you left far behind.

Gone With The Wind

What a surprise it would be
If we meet again, this time,
In the middle of a forest:
You, as a soft and healthy leaf
And me as a gentle wind!
I would take you away
To a distant secret place
Where we would never be disturbed!

Time would seem infinite
When caressing you all over
With my tender invisible hands
Along with your passionate kisses
That would transport us
Definitely to another dimension
Filled with ecstasy and lust!
You and me alone!

Happy together,
We would feel
Like on top of the World!
You, the amorous leaf,
Purposely detached from a tree
That was left way back behind
A which by now
Must be sadly missing you!
The leaf gone with the wind
And now having so much fun
With me (The Wind) !

Happy together,
In that distant secret place
Where nobody would find us!
Only the Mighty above understands
The reason why
We madly fell in love
In that daring escape journey
To this distant secret place!

eUtopia

The Strings strummed for eternity
Her cold voice singing a melody
The hums and blend to the wind
'Twas like all was turned unsinned.

Ecstasy to me it merely brought
In my thoughts I barely sought
She was embodied; Illuminating form
Free as the breeze, strong as storm.

When night abound, the moon beckoned
The stars arise, unknownly reckoned
Mine Hands laid still to common grace
Crimson petals to thine pale face.

Joy to me was of no more place
Merry I was to newly crazed.
Melting to my eternal gaze,
Now with her, I spent my days.

Screen The Sufferings

With the senses you know the world.
The senses awake, you're aware.
The unbridled senses lead to lust.
The sensory objects induce greed.

With the mind you build ambition
And ignore the path to attain.
With the ego you feel importance
And want at any cost to achieve.

Senses, mind and ego reined,
Suffering is screened.

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…

The night arrived quietly
To share my torments,
But still, you were not by my side
When I needed so much…

Suddenly, I fell asleep,
When I woke up in the morning;
For my surprise,
The rain, the wind and the night
Were all gone…
Except the memory of you
Which turned into a dream,
That never came true…

I Am The Whirlwind

Outside,
The wind breathes through me
As though it was alive
And I was the element
Cutting through the edges
Of time and stillness
With the angles of my mind...

A hollow shell washed out
From the Sea
Onto the shore of life
With the echoes of forever
Swirling inside...

I am the whirlwind
Storming through eternity,
Impressing my passing journey
Into the Earth's tranquility...

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
And the happy smile from my face...

Communication was all in vain
And sadly everything was tore apart,
For your departure, I was not to be blamed
When you betrayed your own heart...
If you think my heart is empty-think again!

Only Today Counts

What is now?
What brings today this day
That makes Yesterday the Past
And sorrows gone away?

The air of my own destiny
Beckons to follow the right path
And pushes me-like the wind-
Always from behind! ...

Tomorrow is but a day
In the future!
Maybe it will come to you
The same as me...

Tomorrow is a dear wish,
A great desire from the heart
And an anxious dream
Awaiting to come true one day...

I and my faculties
Contemplate poignant ideas
That can challenge my mind
Further on without fears...

Now, I realize that opportunity
Is the first prerogative
This moment,
To grasp, hold and live for!
Today is but another day
To fully enjoy with my goal
Vividly present in my mind...
