A moment in time

In a moment in time

a euphoric high

all boundaries gone

 as love passes by

I am free to be me, free to fly

What is this torment we all call love?

Why, is enough, never enough?

Where does love come from?

Why must we try?

Cruel, deceiving... 

Love a lie

To be or not to be

I believe enough in me to give up on love, to live happily

But soft!

What light through yonder window breaks?

It is true love!
 I think my heart is awake!

We are all fools in love and the crazy games we play

Why run from love?

Please, true love, stay!!

Brave Hearts

dedicated to Aranka and Joseph Besserman

Life leads to many roads
This I know for sure

Each man is on a path with burdens to endure

We recognize the virtuous 

Only if we try

When the world is up in arms

God hears his children cry

There is strength within us

Challenging the brave, God stands by all heroes, Even at their grave

Triumphant adventures
Until angels return home
Then accepting brand new lives
Many angels grow

Together we live as sisters and brothers

Together we believe
Together we lead

Our fathers and mothers, magnificent angels
Together we suffer
Together we bleed

In love we rise

In love we fall
Exposing our hearts to God above all 

UNDERWATER

Willows, roses, wide green meadows

tapestry of life

strange bedfellows

I bend backwards, like a swaying stem, waiting in the dead of day

lucky to be far away from all the mayhem 

In wild red poppy fields, cutting through the stubborn weeds

a mystery is revealed

Now, when the trumpets sound, our hearts that are friendship bound, merge in some strange alliance

Fingers braiding dandelions

No rest for the weary

little birds are cheering to brighten our day

Hedges and thorns  - no longer in our way

Enemy

RG

They say time can heal all wounds, but love should never leave any!

If you only hurt the ones you love, love becomes your enemy

Years later, I realized I truly mattered in his eyes

Difficult this truth may be, I might have hurt him terribly

Oh, c'est la vie!

I am still not sure, his love was pure

I never felt the same

Why ignite the stone cold flame that burned out a long time ago, when I can just say no no no 

I can't love anyone not right for me! ( even if he'd die for me )

It's time I turn to loving me

It's time I return to the sea

Savage

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner hadPast reason hated, as a swallow'd bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
