hearts apart seldom mend ~
‘til between them walks a friend
Last night I dreamed of you
I held you close against me
I knew the second I woke up
You would become a memory
Why does my mind play tricks
That sadden and deceive me
It's as though my mind is trying
To purposely lead me to misery
I wish you could come home
But that's not an option anymore
With all that's been said and done
It's impossible to even the score
I'm unaware of what's to follow
On this journey to heal my heart
I don't believe anything will dull
The pain of us living life apart
Exploring the streets of Paris
I wonder what you're up to tonight
~ I'm wishing you were here

face to face worlds apart
words go quiet when sad eyes meet
it's hearts' turn to speak

A World Apart
Is this what we have become
a world apart
Why is there this hallowed blackness
emanating from the shrinking sun
leaving all blinking
as we wallow in the shadows
Why is your smile
smeared with a smirk
making all to shriek
marvelling at the marauders
Why the reeling smoke
With its’ mocking reality
taunting the future with friction
revering the reverend reveler
as the world reveals its’ second face
Far apart, heart to heart speaking
The gentle voice, the air carrying
Encouraging each other
Creating happiness together
We dream of crossing the horizon
The distant sun is about to set
We dream of crossing the horizon
The lover’s voice whispers in the wind
Love by nature will fade away
Sweet love grows stronger each day
We feel happy thinking of each other
Cherish this joyful time of lovers
Our dream cannot last forever
Love brings tears to our hearts
“what hurt the most?”, he asked.
Struggling to hold back the tears that were threatening to resurface I replied,
“I’m not sure but, maybe it’s the fact that you didn’t hurt as much as I did,
You were not the one churning through each of our memories late at night and wondering where it all went wrong,
you were not the one crying yourself to sleep at night,
you were not the one whose heart was utterly shattered by the simplest actions.
Or maybe it’s the fact that I could never bring myself to tell you the real reason why we grew apart,
Or the fact that I had to tear my eyes away from that face of yours I would long to see all day long,
Or the fact that I lost one of the people who felt like home to me,
Maybe I miss the familiarity,
The easiness of it all.
But what hurt the most is the realization that I will never love someone like I loved you,
Yet couldn’t do the most mere of actions when I would’ve given you the world had you asked for it.
This goodbye is bittersweet but I hope it is the end because I refuse to toil like this without acknowledgement and there is nothing left in me that you have possibly not taken already.
So that is what hurt the most”
I ended
Feel like im 1 of 1 in this torn apart world, if i turn cold thats undone
seen with my past mistakes
nothing new under the sun, someone else has sat in this place
a world where we keep a loaded gun and a mask to cover our face
from pain we easily run i guess were scared of the mace
Showin love will get you hung, what a shame or disgrace
look what the devil has brung now were corrupted by toxic waste
speak evil in fears of them cutting your tongue, caught up like a rat in this race
And the flash of reel will have you stunned so in turn we walk away (real,reel)
Our thoughts we keep concealed, worried how the other portray
Like a rat running on a wheel till our bodies decay
My skin ill allow you to peel even if you poison my bod-ay
Im looking for something real like "whats outside of this cage"
Im bitin at the steel maybe one day we'll all escape...
You take a break ill keep biting till my body you cant resuscitate, I'll keep fighting till me and death got a lovely dinner date.
You are the light that I've been longing,
but the longer we stay together,
the more I want to stay apart.
I keep thinking..
I am the darkness
and you're the light.
maybe,
we're better far apart.
Polar bear at the north pole,
floating on a lone ice floe,
thinks to himself,
'What happened to my world,
where did all the ice go?'
If to the south pole he did depart,
penguins to compare,
would he then be,
a well-traveled
bipolar bear?
MEANT TO BE
PANDA MAZEE,
It was a warm starry night,
The moon was full and bright,
I was working late,
Too sizzling hot to be indoors,
That made me think of you,
KOOKLA MOU
I reached for the phone,
My heart missed a beat,
I could sense you were alone,
KOOKLA MOU
THELO NA EEMASTE,
PANDA MAZEE
AS MEANT TO BE.
For years we have been apart,
KORITSI MOU,
We were hiding
Our love from the start
You have always had the
Key to my heart
As neither one of us
Have any ties,
We can say to the world,
That I love you and you love me,
Your sensuality is speaking,
And my heart is leaping.
KORITSI MOU
PANDA MAZEE,
SAN ENA POT-IRI
ME KRASI
AS MEANT TO BE
It was fate
To be be together
Forever and ever.
We married, our souls,
Finally set free,
Just the priest you and me,

Love always wins,
It is life’s aphrodisiac
This poem/song is a sequel to "COME CLOSER TO ME / TRELOS YA SENA"
I’m torn apart… my stomach is in knots… shock and hurt find me… ricocheting through out my body…
Is this my plight now?
I wallow in my torment…
I weep endlessly…
Will this affliction never end?
Is this my plight now?
Why? I ask myself… but sadly there is no answer…
Is there justification for this turmoil I am enduring?
Is this my plight now?
I’ve been in the dark, shall I stay?

April 2025
I lay under a tree,
With no voice yet glistening with glee,
And then I see you come along,
And I don't know what to feel,
Your voice is so pungent,
That it always feels wrong,
Even when singing the words to a song,
But I don't know what to sing,
Because I sat there in solitude,
Just waiting for this foul mood,
To disappear,
To not retrace,
To sit here and mope,
Because I don't know how to cope,
But all I know,
Is you won't see me fall apart.
Life's long ride
To which,
I opted for smaller tides
That comes and goes
Like latecomers, summer night
Seeing myself passing over the potion
Summer changes into winter
And now I am with the ocean
With no direction, just a sprinter
"It's not in the way that you use it"
with the color of that money
Made a "run" for it
"Something is tearing us apart"
A "Bad: influence took control
But I "walk(ed)" away
I am "hung up up on your love"
I "take a chance" but flew away like dove
"Holding on" for my own good
Do I " miss you" Love
"Holy Mother" let's pray
To conclude the" mask of confusion"
It has been a "Grand Illusion"
Grand Illusion from Eric Clapton's AUGUST ALBUM
