Raising my arms to the sky,
Looking for your Soul,
That flies above white cotton clouds,

Above the blue sky,
Where Angels fly, granting wishes,
Guided by star shine.

Standing under a western sky,
Where eagles fly,
Gazing at the snow capped mountains high,

Wishing to travel across a vast ocean,
Following a map of memories,
Looking for Magpies to take me home,

A home, where Tigers stand guard and roar,

Where cherry blossoms cry,
Where roses bloom,
Where Azalea shine.

Forgive me for,
Taking so long,
To find my way home.

Love Was Born

You tell me,
Crushes are unhealthy,
Crushes tire us out and break our hearts.

They take away our energy,
Fill our Souls with false hopes and memories,
Lead to regrets and impossible fantasies,

Only give the gift of suffering,

My crush died a long time ago,
Six months after fate, pointed me to my destiny,
That you call a hopeless infatuation,

My beautiful rose stabbed me,
Through my weak heart,
With a very long and sharp thorn.

That day, I felt a sharp pain and thought my life ended.
I did not die or run away,
It was the pain of love, being born.

The day I discovered I fell in love with a dream.

A miracle that made me strong,
The pain that gave birth,
To impossible fantasies.

Dreams of places and times I never lived.

This miracle that gave me the courage to stay,
To write of impossible love, heroes, music, courage,
And fairy tales, I share with the world every day.

There is only one more fantasy,

I pray love grants me,
The health and courage,
To bring into my reality.

If it was only possible,
To hold you tight one more night,
As we dream of raining cherry blossoms in spring,
Falling in, beams of sunlight.

Our hearts fluttering,
Flying into each other's arms,
Dreaming one dream, never being apart.

Why am I standing here,
Gazing off into dreams from long ago, dreaming of you and me,
Living and loving in a beautiful place?

A place where cherry blossoms and golden fields of barley grow,
Where magpies, fly.

Traveling the great distance, to my past life
That only dreams make possible.
Bringing back love, from so long ago.

I love you!

There's nothing else I can do,
But, write this poetry of love to you,
Words that you will never read.

It must be my destiny, missing you,
Looking for you, among the stars,
Reaching out to you, each night.

Only finding a ghost,
Staring back at me, from my dreams.

Knowing of the possibility,
You are dreaming on the edge of distant shores,
Looking at longing lovers Altair and Vega,

Glancing into the future,
Dreaming of everlasting love,
Wishing for love,  

Watching the impossibility of stars,
Remembering our first time,
Makes each night,
Bright as star shine sparkling in your eyes.

Standing beneath lovers Altair and Vega, each night,
Wishing my impossible dreams find their way to reality.

It's time for our long sleep my love,
Unwilling to let you go alone,

When I fell in love with your Soul, long ago,
You changed my life on that day,
The day I pledged to have and to hold an angel's Soul forever.

Am I wrong wishing to sleep with you for eternity too?
I'm not willing to let you sleep forever alone.

I only know one thing.

I love you and don't have the strength to live without you,
Love, please take me with you to Heaven's home.

Closing my eyes, I want you to be the last dream I see,
Falling asleep for eternity.

You are the one love,
Beyond my dreams,
It seems I can never give up.

Long ago,
On a June day,
You changed my destiny.

Am I wrong to feel such intense love,
For a Soul, I have never held?
For a bright spirit that fills my heart every day?

Is this love true?
Is this love I feel wrong?
Is this the love my heart has been waiting so long for?

Love, help me find the courage,
To answer these questions,
And travel home, to where my love dreams.

Home to my eternity.

Every night, all I can do is stand here,
Beneath the stars that brighten my hopes,
Through these cloudy times.

Another spring is about to pass,
So much time wasted,
Wishing for wings to fly, to hold your Soul once again.

Been told many times,
I need to forget you,
But I'm still standing here under a dark velvet diamond sky,

Been told, the easiest thing to do,
Is just let go.
It's hard when dreams pull me back every night.

You said once,
Everyone you love leaves you,

But, I'm still standing here,
Looking for you flying among the stars,
Worrying about you,

Praying, I can hold you in my arms,
One more time.
