we were all so young



we were all so free



we didn't know who



we wanted to be.




now we are grown



hopes all in our hand



reaching out for something



not quite knowing where to land.

ever changing
still remaining
my heart
it leaps free.

your spirit to
a mind of you
the trace
it leaves behind.

an eye for peace
with voice so soft
your truth
it hangs aloft.

a hand to hold
touch ever proud
a gift among
the gods.

mortal is fate
love and debate
destiny
never fails.

skies of blue are no match
nor mediterranean hue
a steeling
cool ice
without its hardness
or feel

sometimes i wait and listen
of things i maybe should say
a song of love
a letter of thanks
or simply
what i dream.

nothing comes.

i sit and wait
i stretch and think
twiddling my pen
but not drawing any ink.

nothing comes.

time drifts by
slowly staring at my ceiling
the moon shines through
but not altering any feeling.

nothing comes.

so i think of you
which helps me to
draw the letters
on white pages.

something comes.

soon enough
my page is full
and softly
quietly
i drift off
to sleep.

here it is.

life: a complex web of love, lies, hopes, fears, and people.

times change, people change, feelings change.

my thoughts never stay put.

they move around in my head,

i think about life and what it would cost to be dead.

the fate of others doesn't rest in my hands,

their lives are like mine spread across the times and the sand.

what the future holds only Heaven knows.

it rains or it snows the only difference is the temperature

of a heart that beats fast and then slow.

the anticipation of meeting is complex you

know the feeling, you've had it before,

when you see his smile or the flecks in his eyes.

the laugh, his laugh that makes your heart light,

you'd fight for his life as you'd fight for your own

heart,

like a drum,

it beats out a rhythm,

the rhythm of your soul,

the soul that's always restless and spreads throughout your

veins like a web, a complex web of lies.

lies like those of fear and people,

but not of hopes and love.

life.

i took a chance and let you in
the feeling now can't last
you're leaving soon
and still i'll miss
how your eyes shone in the moon.
we spoke about the things we liked
and about each others lives
your smile
your touch
and the way you make me laugh.
you told me that you cared for me
and that you always would
but distance is too hard a chance
and one that you once took.
your fear is what mislead you
to an act you might regret
but now its done and can't be fixed
and i let you off the hook.
so when you leave me
don't forget
the part of me you hold
i'll think about you most days
and of what i miss the most.
you've changed me for the better
and a little for the worse
but i don't regret my feelings
or how i chose not to let you go
so don't forget me baby
and maybe one day we will
remember what was once
a feeling that was real.

the stars all alight
under the vast black-blue sky
the basilica walls glitter
with the reflections of the night
your heart cannot stop beating
while your hand is holding mine
never fear, my darling,
our souls still intertwine

your eyes glitter brightly
as you walk right next to me
the sounds are quietly blowing
from the far off distant sea

don't forget my love
your soul belongs to me
while my heart belongs to you

now go off on your journey
but don't forget me still
i'll wait forever for you
in the house up on the hill

i can feel your breath upon me
like it used to softly flow
i've missed your touch my darling
and i hope one day you'll know
how much your love propels me
to heights i've never been

your presence now surrounds me
so now swear you'll never leave
for my heart would shatter deeply
and float up to the moon
to be among the stars
which alight the darkened sky.
