the lone boatman
I wish for this night to prolong
beyond the dawn that (gingerly) awaits,
and the uncertain future
that it brings along.

I wish for this night to prolong
as we set sail on joyous winds
your caressing words
like pearls that adorn cheerful strings.
....
There are myriad distances
yet we re-unite
with meaningless conversations
on the soulful palette of this starry night.

O' Beloved, I wish for this night to prolong
beyond the time, when we may have to leave
a time I pray will truly never come
and…. hope that it will never have to be me."
Scribbled, not in final form

Unravel the night as it nods off
to become a wall of darkness
until the sun looks into your eyes
once again
and you feel the light of truth

Then tell me what is real
among the promises we have made
and why the blood running through our veins
speaks of us, and only us
as our hearts are seduced

Shall we continue to live on the edge
where each breath we take
challenges our bodies to become
harmoniously in control
and one with each other

For as our hearts do speak
of the need to see each other's face
and how love's flame burns
within our eyes, we dream of destiny’s
touch upon our soul

Reaching for the light, truly shining
on our hearts and of our faces
to open the eyes of those who do not
see or know,
exposing our love for what it is

So take me unto this light with you
to play as children in the snow
to love as adults within the driving passion
taking us deeper into the realm
of love unhidden, exposed

I was so scared to
lose you
that I never really
had you
at all

They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
I don't have the right to fall into you
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear

And all I know is to love, I really do
We have differences, there's a gap between us
I don't have the right to fall into you

I know they would say, it wouldn't last
And all they see is trouble in this connection
We have differences, there's a gap between us

I know what they see is our imperfection
Though they criticize how I feel for you
And all they see is trouble in this connection

Please don't hear what they say, please don't go
No matter what happens, I am still the one
Though they criticize how I feel for you

I just want to love you the best that I can
They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
No matter what happens, I am still the one
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear.

Amongst the trees standing still,
I found you as the fruitful one
Amidst the flock above me here,
I saw you as an angel, dear

Within the feelings I've to protect,
the one for you is like a sun
Between us two, there's lot of pain
that I have chosen to bear

But what is pain if love's the prize,
that rain into my world?
The rain is sun, and sun is rain
which I always want to hold...
You are both the sun and rain into my world because you are my everything.

You were an escape artist
And I your favorite trick
You'd spin me
around and around and around
Then leave me with no gift

But still I can't let you go
You've hurt me more
than anyone I know
Love is so addicting
You I shouldn't be missing

For your final trick
You'd make me disappear
You called her up
"I missed you, my dear"
She's your new pick

"De mi-ai face tu inima punte, sa te intampin mereu."*

here, distracted by seagulls
I have dreams interrupted by gravity
you are painting the moon in my hair
I would like to open my eyes
to say something
but I am already taken to you in all languages
between the lines only empty spaces
I still haven't figured it out
why you split the page in two
don't want to hear the dying time
you are painting my red red heart
naked
I want to kiss your fingers,
your tired shoulders
in solid mornings
the way you stepped/screamed/exploded inside
my skin your umbrella against the void
they cannot convince me of anything
the night cannot erase
the freedom of light
in Turner's eye

somewhere beyond the hip of night
I'm waiting for something by the sea
but what it is
it's a mystery carried by seagulls
so far away
that far away
from me

Wondering about you
wondering about me,

Too many times
I've been pushed aside
     On the back burner
My whole **** life
         But I wanna be the fire
   That lights your soul
I want a raging, blazing
         Inferno
      Sparking flames
Making changes
        In the chemistry
   A little oxygen
       So I can breathe
A lot of hydrogen
     So you can believe
We're floating on air
        Particles you can't see
      Like love
It's a mystery
            A theory
   Of who's meant to be
And who's left suffering
         That's destiny
     I'm creating
Breaking
     Changing the flames
   Into ashes
And graves
      With no names
Just broken hearts
          On tombstones
     And no chance

One day
When all events will be finished,
Then you will see
Over and over again
Is this why the door closed,
By that time the window next to
The road is full of trash

Little by little
I will be almost removed
From your mind
Then Red Sun will be appeared
In a new horizon,
The birds will sing the same as before
You will laugh
For some reason mystery

Flowers will be dancing
Before you
You will be singing with someone
Highborn
Moonlight will brighten
Your night
And your Sky will be filled with
Full of dreams

But then you will not feel the,
Moonlit wet night
As your first feeling flourished
Like a Red Rose,
Either an Evergreen Love Song
Or As a Romantic Poem,
Hold your hands in a way
That will be mystic wandering

Remember My Darling,
And then I will exist
Thousands of Millions of miles
Away from you,
As a Bright Star
Will be burned myself
And be Fallen as dust
On your Eyes-
...

I am overcome with Love with each of you are all Special.
My heart may have been broken, but each off you here.
Still there is Love for each one of you unconditional love.
A brotherly Love, that shall never cease to exist, never.
For each of you are very special to me, you are all amazing.
For even though we have different parents here on the earth.
In my heart, we are still brothers, and to you all Ladies.

So I just want each and every one of you all to know that I Love you all.
