Our time is all we have
And still it's all we give away
For a penny or a cent
For a word or just a scent
Of something that was never ours
And as the sweet lie comes along
for a moment makes us strong
For a moment makes us feel
Real love on our skin

But the moment is like the stone
As soon as the sun is gone
It gets colder than the night
In winter time 
How love could be so cruel
How we could get so weak
And forget our only friend
We have in life

Our life is our time
Your life is yours not mine
And all I have to give 
Is this love I have in me
And the sweet lie has an end
As I do my dear friend
And there we are alike
Though my time was not that long
What I felt was never wrong
And it hurt like salt on open wound
But the pain was not that bad
Comparing to what you've said
Having softness of your touch
Melt my soul to death

Timeless silence round his heart
Doesn't let him play the part
Drop by drop 'till is full
He pushes hard and then pulls

Hanging down from above
Ever-aching for more love
Trying, hoping then he misses
Ever-breaking into pieces

Wanting, wishing for quite some time
So much passion, it’s a crime
Standing up in the line
For affection, for a sign

He is a man with no past
With no present, outlast
Crawling down, looking for
Is he knocking at the door?

Is he trying to unlock
To come in and to talk?
Should he go in or should he wait
Should he lie or be straight?

With heart so broken who could feel
No one's made out of steel
He hopes the feeling is not for good
No one’s made out of wood

He stood there for a while
Waiting for his righteous trial
But the timeless silence round his heart
Made his spirit come apart

There was this man born with reason
So why the pain why the treason

What do birds do when they don't have a nest?
Where do they go to put themselves to rest?
Where do they go when they want to sleep?
Where do they hide to cry and weep?

Where do they put their feathers and their gentle wings?
Do they even want to know what the next day brings?
Do they have the strength to smile and sing
after they have lost the battle in the spring?

Do they just fly till the light is gone
and just lay around from dusk till dawn?
Do they even have a place to seat?
Where do they go to chat and tweet?

I want to build my own nest
where I'll be the host and not some guest
where I'll feel safe and sound
and just stop flying around

Where the East meets the West
and your mind feels possessed
Where the night smiles back at the day
and the spring smells like a bouquet
Where the wind makes you wonder
and you heart beats like thunder
Where your sorrow is gone missing
and your soul is secretly kissing
All the wonders your eyes can ever see
Oh, Berlin you make me be a better me

Long before dawn when the sunshine is gone
I turn to you so I could keep on
In times when I am blue and want something true
I call you so I could get through

When I go mad or I feel sad
You are there for me to tell that the world is not so bad
When my heart aches and my soul breaks
I want you by my side to do whatever it takes

To free me of my pain and sorrow
To keep me company today and tomorrow
To put me back on my two feet
With a comforting word and your smile sweet

Thank God you are the better half of mine
So here is to you and your beauty divine
And here is to us and our eternal connection
United as one on the road to perfection

Cry if you want
It's never a sin
Scream if you want
To relieve the pain
Lie if you want
When you feel you're weak
Stand if you want
When they say you should sit
Smile if you want
There is no better time
Run if you want
But don't run from me
Rest for a while
And don't you give up
I was once you, don't forget
So live your time without regret

A full grown heart
full of scars
beats inside
an empty glass

The glass is full
when it rains
A sea of tears
wounds and pains

It gets empty
as the days go by
Heals the heart
until it's dry

A full grown heart
beats in us
sewn together
out of fallen stars

Seating here all alone
searching answers far from home
Hoping that my one and only
isn’t feeling like me lonely
So should I tell him or should I lie?
Be alive or just cry?
Does he see it, or is just me?
Being fool, wishing free?
Is this it, or will be more?
Should I give up or just fall for?
I love the feeling though it aches
It’s like speeding with no breaks
How long will It take
till I hit the wall and break apart?
How long till I lose my heart?
And he plays me I can feel
It’s not a dream it is real
It’s not fiction it’s a fact
and he is good in his act

On a distant beach, I see you 
Smiling to the sea
As the mellow rays of sunshine
Fall upon thee

On a distant mountain, I see you
Smiling at the road
As the dancing clouds
Take away your load

Loving with your heart
Singing with your soul
Kissing with your lips
Melting as you go

It's not that distant future
When you close your eyes
Before you fall asleep
Under starry skies

Unexpected* but it’s true
The feeling’s old and yet so new
Swept away in just few lines
against all odds and all the signs
Is this a dream?
Pinch me please
I could scream
With such an ease
I could smile
With just a word
I could fly
like a bird
Unexpected
but it's
true
The dream is real
and so are
**You

Unknown friends with
Unknown faces
Unknown ways to
Unknown places

Unknown depths
Yet to find
Unknown heights
Yet to climb

Unknown beauties
Yet to see
Unknown things
Yet to be

Unknown waters
I am not afraid
Unknown future
I am not scared

The shiny sun
During days
Will give me strength
On my way

The countless stars
So far above
Will keep me safe
With their tender love

My dearest one
My one and only
Will kiss me softly
When I feel lonely

I cannot wait
to meet you soon
I am prepared
For new typhoons

Unknown, Unknown
Yet to be
You have never met
Someone like me

Keep in touch
With your soul she said
Before turning her back on me
Disappearing before my eyes
Was the last thing I could see

My eyes went blind
My ears gone deaf
My crippled heart refused to beat
The instant she left the door
I crumbled slowly on the floor

She must have felt it
But never shared
Or I have never listened to
To break a heart it takes two
Lovers being untrue

The seasons changed
The years went by
At times I’ve cried at others smiled
Life is a journey through good and bad
Before feeling sane you have to go mad

My soul sings now
Even in the rain
If asked, I’ll go the same road reliving every pain
Love is a story that unravels on the way
Some things we lose and some are here to stay

Wake up it’s no time to sleep
Shake up don’t be so cheap
Clean up and put your best smile
Tide up and run for a mile

Stand up
Step up
Wake up!!!!

Does Love has to make us happy
Yes!
Does Love has to occupy our mind
Yes! 
Does Love has to hurt 
Yes, Love hurts!

But the pain will let you feel the smallest toe on your left foot and the top of the hair that you never think about
Cause Love makes us complete
We are not born to fight each other 
We are not born to **** each other
We are born to Love

I remember days when it was darker outside
Only because the clouds were grey-er and thicker
I remember days when it was warmer inside
Only because of the fire in our hearts

But we can’t go back in time

I remember days when there where rainbows outside
Only because the sun followed a rain
I remember days with smiles in our eyes
Only because of stupid little things we’d say

But we can’t go back in time

I remember days when it was greener outside
Only because we weren't envious of nature
I remember days where we were soldiers of love
Only because we blindly believed

But we can’t go back in time

I knew I had long way to go
but I was blinded by your words
I knew that my time was yet to come
but you put down the stars for me
Despite my believes I showed up
and all  I saw was disappointment
You weren’t prepared and I was not ready
and your eyes… your eyes never lie
I left brokenhearted
You left disappointed
Pity, we could have had it all

A four-leaved clover
I found million years ago
When I pursued love
At the end of the world
Lies at the bottom of my drawer
Together with the ashes of a fairytale
I don’t need anymore
I have found peace for my soul
Faith for my mind
And a patch for my heart
Underneath the starry skies
I lie weightless

I sang a song to a bird
With the wind I had a flirt
I took a ride on a cloud
Told a story out loud
I danced together with the leaves
Bowed my head to the trees
I took a picture with an ant
Made a silly face with a friend
I sealed my mouth with a glue
Saw a picture of a kangoroo
I saw the moons in the sky
Let my eyes tell a lie
I met an apple with a heart
And all of this wasn't hard
As I don't have any guard
I let my soul have fun today
Oh, what a feeling what a day

What am I
When our lips are miles apart
And the words
you whisper
Are not for me
What am I
When you run your fingers
Through the hair
Of an unknown beauty
One of many
What am I
When you give me wings
To fly away
but cut them off
As you please
What am I
When your eyes are blind
To the pain you cause
When you call me love
What am I
My love
What am I to you

What if your eyes could see
What mine do
when looking at you

What if you could hear
The things you say
holding my heart having my ears

What if you try just for a day
To be here
feel the moment and don’t just disappear

What if you try this for while
What if you do
Would this save me and you?

What if I stop trying to be
The things you want to see in me

What if...

What is love I asked a stranger?
What is faith in time of danger?
How do you know at end of the day
If  the one beside you will forever stay?

What is love I asked a friend?
What is faith when you‘ve reached the end?
How do you know if the feeling is true
If you should stay or say adieu?

What is love I asked my mother?
What is faith when you have no other?
How do you know when to make the turn?
How do you feel, how do you learn?

What is love I asked my father?
What is faith when life gets harder?
How do you make the rightest choice?
How do you speak without a voice?

What is love I asked my sister?
What is faith when your life is blistered?
How do you tell which one is right?
How do you sleep without a light?

What is love I asked my lover?
Do we have faith, could we recover?
Do we have hope for the time to come?
Are we believers or are we just numb?

Love is believing in the other one
Love is the light when there is no sun
Love is the potion that we all should drink
Love is the script in inerasable ink.

Is the normal  new formal
Could we be just blind and out of our mind
Why do pure souls have to change
Just to prevent not to be too strange
How is the normal better than abnormal
Why is it better and why does it matter
if one is not a standard size
why do we hate this and despise
At the end of the day we are all the same
when the lights go off and start losing their flame

I want to make him smile

When I close my eyes
and think of the moment
our lips melted together
in the park where my soul got awaked
I could still feel your softest touch and
hear the sweetest words one can ever tell
I could also hear the music the stars played
just before our eyes met for the first time
where people usually say farewell and
not their first hello
And in this short moment
overwhelmed by feelings I cannot describe
my soul starts dancing as though I was by your side

All I want is to be your two minutes
as your are mine when I close my eyes

They might be depressive
Sometimes obsessive
Possessive
From time to time

They are forthcoming
Try to be loving
Without the lying and the denying
That life sometimes *****

They might seem deceiving
But serve as relief
As part of the grieving
Against all the odds

They are part of my thoughts
From past and the present
That make me feel pleasant
When I dance to the beat of my heart

They are part of my soul
I have never expected
That has ever existed
Inside of my confiding mind

Though I have never predicted
They made me addicted
Of the blank spaces
In all of my books

They made me convinced
Without resisting
That words are the only way

To express all my sorrow
To hope for tomorrow
To be better than today

To send me to the moon
On a hot air balloon
Cause words can just do that

To see all the stars
Through the army of clouds
That make the day only grey


They make me believe
And let me perceive
The world through my own lens

The words I write down
The words I say loud
The words that are still waiting their turn

They make me remember
And completely surrender
Before my own self

The first day, the beginning
when two lovers play the first inning
when the stomach butterflies and
the joy that in us lies
never let go of the blue skies
When the world is flat and green
and has beauties never seen
When we all are kings and queens
and live in our dreams
only then our love begins

A change of roads brought her here
Took her reason for a while
Left her dreams lead the way
Thinking wishful day by day

Countless clouds, starry skies
passed her by during night
Shiny moon was her friend
When she dreamed with delight

She wondered life seeing leaves
growing back on the trees
Even naked they were bold
Fighting back through the cold

Lonely rivers were her heroes
Using sun to survive
Endless droughts could not stop them
Finding way to revive

If only humans could be like them
Crying Earth said one day
There is nothing to be afraid
When love leads the way

I am not deaf
They could say
What they want
What they need
To make me plead
Guilty for something
I have never done
Nor I have ever thought
But I would never run
From my faults and mistakes
Playing ducks and drakes
On an empty lake
Like they do
Just to be away
Cause they are afraid
Of being condemned
But I am not them
I am not mad
I feel only free
When the silence speaks to me

Gravity is negligible
Ground below disappears
Stars are within reach
And our energy grows
Even Einstein envies us
Because time stops
When we are together

Control is needless
With full confidence
we make every desire reality
Even Atlas envies us
Because the world lies
In the palm of our hands
When we are together

As brave warriors
We boldly crash
Every border ahead
For a higher cause
Even Napoleon envies us
Because we are the masters of power
When we are together

The melody of
Our melded bodies
Is the only thing we hear
Even Mozart envies
The perfectly composed symphony
When we are together

Moral vanished
Rationality forgotten
Our psyche ruled by Id
Even Freud envies us
because pleasure is the only drug we use
When we are together

The fantasy is real
As  is the breathing
Mine and yours
Deep and passionate
Even Nietzsche envies us
Because the Übermensch becomes alive
When we are together

When it seems the happiness has given up on you
and you think there is no way through
When you see an endless road ahead
and no one seems to understand the words you've said

When you feel alone with no friendly face around
and your feet are in the air and your head in the ground
There is something pure on the other side
just wait and see, and don't try to hide

We are what we believe in
so don't be naive and let be deceived
In this enduring moment of weakness
The answer lies in your uniqueness

God put a smile upon your face for a reason
so use it well in this rainy season
You are the architect of this life of yours
so let there be light behind the closed doors

You have the strength to move the walls ahead
so let there be purity to put away the dread
We all are special in some way or other
so don't you dare give up and try to be another

There is always a force behind our backs
that helps us stay back on the tracks
So do not forget this, my soul friend of mine
at the end of the night the sun always shines
...when you feel blue just don't give up on you!

Is it left or is it right?
Should I go there or should I hide?
Is it true or is it false?
was it love or just an impulse?

In the day or in the night
into darkness or into light
I will go with no return
I have had my lesson learned

In the deep sea or up there high
where fearless falcons fly
You will find me there free
smiling to my destiny

Whisper whisper from afar
Guided by the northern star
Dancing dancing in the night
Like a burning candle light

Thunders thunders breaking free
Making music I could see
Riding riding on the waves
As the water wildly raves

Coming coming like the tide
Filled my soul with morning light
Whisper whisper sweet as kiss
Made me dream of future bliss

You are a story that I write
Since the age of five
Since I saw that butterfly
Landing on my finger
I kept my breath
So she wouldn’t fly
Away like the rest of my dreams
For a moment longer
I could have been dead
But I never thought of that
As I exhaled
I scared her off and she was gone
Quicker than the image of my first kiss
With the frog I thought would turn into prince
But it didn’t
Who am I to dream
But a wounded soul
Trying to tell a story
Since the age of five
when I saw that butterfly

Who are you and
what are you up to?
Who are you and
what is your plan?

I cannot tell if you are
a con man or just a lost soul
I cannot tell this just yet
Ah, be the real and not the threat

I cannot hear my voice within
It got scared and faded away
I cannot hear your heart beat too
Am I dead or is it you

I cannot see if you are
into me or just want to be near
I cannot see, I must be blind
or the one that is left behind

I cannot tell what I have told
I cannot hear what I have heard
I cannot see what I have seen
I cannot be what I have been

Just as I have foreseen!

Who are you and how did you find me?

The snow on the mountain top
Before the sun melts it down
The leaves on the trees in autumn
Before winter undress them completely

The first flower in spring
that blooms despite the cold
The most beautiful cloud one could ever see
that dances around for no particular reason

The scent of the grass
Just after a pouring rain
The sweetest cherry
Picked right there from the tree

The baby snail
That just learned the best friend could be human too
A dreamer with the nicest smile
that makes wishes come true

If you ask me that is who I want to be

I wish we were holding hands

I love you most and disappear

Oh how I wish you were here

Would you ever let me in
Behind the wall made of glass
So nobody would see it
Nobody but me

Would you ever tell
What lies deep within
What have made you cry
What have made you sin

Would you ever hear
What my heart has to say
Should it ever leave
Or should it try to stay

Would you ever try
To do this one thing
Sew my heart back together
And let my soul sing


Would you ever do
This one thing for me

Pushing the door each morning
Makes me feel unsafe
Write me a word or two love
So I can get through the day

Wasting time is not that easy
When the days are so long
And all I do is pray boy
That the nights will make me strong

So write me a word or two love
Write me a word each day
Not more I cannot read love
Not more but a word a day
Dreaming about you love
Dreaming each day
Flying like bird love
Flying away

When you are not by my side love
Summer days are long and cold
Just like the winter love
They make me stay at home

Chasing clouds across the sky
Is what I do each day
Waiting for those sweet words love
Before I fade away

So write me a word or two love
Write me a word each day
Not more I cannot read love
Not more but a word a day
Dreaming about you love
Dreaming each day
Flying like bird love
Flying away

But chasing clouds across the sky
Is what I do each day
Long and cold no matter what
I want to fly away

So write me a word or two love
Write me a word each day
so I can grow my wings love
grow them and fly away

So write me a word or two love
Write me a word each day
Not more I cannot read love
Not more but a word a day
Dreaming about you love
Dreaming each day
Flying like bird love
Flying away

Let's fly away love
let's fly away
with a word or two love
let's fly away
just you and me love
let's fly away
write me a word or two love
before I fade away

Lead to wrong feelings
Wrong thoughts
Wrong turns
Wrong doings

Wrong words
Lead to dreamless sleep
Empty hearts
Empty eyes
Empty seats

Wrong words
Lead to nowhere

No man's smile
No man's soul

Prisoners of greed
Prisoners for life

Close the mouth with both hands
And hold it tight until they disappear
