In a small sailboat
I went to sea alone
and came back reborn.
A clear day and light winds
turned an intended short day
sail into high seas and strong
winds, 9 hours later I found my
way home, in a tattered boat,
an older and wiser man. With
a humility cake eaten whole
with nothing to wash it down
but salt water.
You can lead a fool to reason,
but you cannot make him think.
It seems this is where
we find ourselves these
days, or has it always
been that way for we
silly over complicated
humans?
I’m renewing my religion,
Opening the church-door of my heart; and
Oh, my eyes are Rosemary.
I fell onto a prayer
Through flying self-love;
I pick up a rosary and
In the blurry reflection
Appeared the rising God of Me.
I just want to catch on fire
With the mountains around me,
But to leave that magnolia tree
By the green lake
With the reflection of Me.
From you
Of you
By you
With you

From that time
Of that time
By that time
With you during that time.

From this time
Of this time
By this time
With you during this time

From that memory
Of that memory
By that memory
With you during that memory

From this memory
Of this memory
By this memory
With you during this memory

From that moment
Of that moment
By that moment
With you in/during that moment
I could be me
And you
Could be you

With me
Being with you
By your side/next to you
Or standing facing you
Of that/this time
From that/this time

From you
Of you
By you
With you

Because it’s that feeling
From you
The vibe I get of you
Being by you
When I’m with you.

'Dedicated to JP.'
I've been blaming myself,
As I was the odd one,
Until it strikes my mind,
Maybe I don't belong here in the first place.
No matter what I'm,
Who I am.
Changes will certainly be there,
But only for me and
Only if I want.
I don't feel outcasted anymore,
Maybe I'm alone but not lonely,
Enjoying my own company gives me happiness,
Which is at another level.
You are beautiful
even when you don't feel it,
every time you smile,

So hold your chin high,
you deserve each breath you take,
you deserve the world.
You told me I am your sun
but I am the moon
I only shine because of you
