I stole a glance

you stole my heart

No, it was not love at first sight
but I don’t blame you
it was my unpredictable heart
beating different rhythms of youth

age
did shrink the fullness of your lips
but not the fieriness of your kiss
passion is still dancing
a slow fox now
sophisticated, loving and tender

you are laughing
I can see it in your eyes

oh, you try to prevent
while I still keep looking

and then

on that deep sigh
a clattering sound

the liberation
for you and me

finally

My dreams, my aspirations
spiraling beyond
some fell down
and changed their form

oh wonderful youth
and everlasting energy

now, only for a moment
and remembering this
a little nostalgia
is disturbing my peace

a wake up call
to be grateful

I gathered
knowledge
and the tremendous gift
of being thankful
for life
as it is
still heaving dreams

Let me hold you
hold you in my arms
so very close to my heart
hear
the soft beat is telling you of
the love
I carry inside
feel
the mesmerizing rhythm
will put you asleep
and take you beyond
every day’s sorrow
come my love
surrender
simply surrender
I kiss you goodnight
and watch over you
as
always

I forgot your lies
completely mesmerized
by your eyes

I never before felt this
total bliss
caused by your kiss

but short after the start
I fell apart
with a broken heart
