When freedom is limited to merely living a gloomy existence,
not having access to all the privileges and total liberties
of a free society, then it's more bitter than sorrow.
When one's faith is not allowed to be openly professed and expressed
to praise God and place Him above Man, it's a suppressing hand
hindering any heart to sing its hymns...becoming an ordeal more bitter than sorrow.
I have the gift of the written word, which the Almighty endowed me at birth,
and my intolerance can infuriate the rage of any suppressing regime without worth;
woe to them who will force me to swallow a venom more bitter than sorrow!
For an uncrowned head, with no honor bestowed upon it, there's no need for a sword,
but how will the doleful faces, that desire joy to shine upon them, celebrate life?
I can offer them solace, not hopelessness which is more bitter than sorrow.
Cruel and unfair kings, you run your kingdoms with an inhuman heart and a bloody hand,
drowning your people in conspicuous silences; a fearful people, who must never cause discord
among the poor and the ignorant, lest they choose a martyrdom more bitter than sorrow.

If what I feel is true
Don’t know how to explain
That my heart was heavy once
And didn’t know what to do
I was gloomy and darkness fell
over me, all at once
I thought that I was through
And was going straight to hell
Chorus
But then you came to me
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise with you to never part
I need you, Lord, to know
How desperate I did feel
Didn’t think that I would make it
And saw it all so real
The bad became the worse
And the worse became so real
And their teachings that I heard
Never happy would make me feel
Chorus
But then you came to me
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise with you to never part
My heart became a stone
Didn’t know that I could feel
This LOVE that you give me
And my sins away you peeled
Now I’m grateful, Lord
And full of love I feel
Not only for you, God
But I feel I love the world
And most important, Lord
I feel I Love myself
Because
You came to me, Oh Lord
And entered in my heart
And now that I am free
Promise never from you to part
And become so lovingly
And stretch out my hand to thee
No matter what it is you feel
Prayer will set you free
So believe and faith will never fail
And let God’s love in you prevail
Does your heart feel like a prison
Like a prison cell
Nobody seems to hear your cries
No matter how loud you yell.
You feel all hope is gone
And no-one seems to care
You feels no-one loves you
So you curse and swear.
You feel so all alone
In your prison cell
And all the loneliness
Fears and pain, only you can tell.
Does anybody have a key
For this heart of mine
I feel so alone in here
Its as though I am doing time.
This poem is for all those out there
Whoe's heart has lost its key
You feel that there is no way out
No way out for me.
So let me just give you hope
It comes to you from me
I have this friend called Jesus
The captives He sets free.
So give Him all your hurts and pains
Cast all your care's on Him
For He alone is that key
To unlock your heart within.
Invite Him in your heart today
Into your prison cell
He'll lift you up on eagles wings
Out of that living hell.
(Sonnetina Rispetto)
You must return to the very start
Just look into your mind and heart
And so you can be born again
Heed my words for I do not lie
To be born again old must die
Free from all the pain and the sin
You must return to the very start
Just look into your mind and heart
For,if I may be really bold
The new is born out of the old
And so you can be born again
Free from all the pain and the sin
You must return to the very start
Just look into your mind and heart

Oh Lord, when the tides of problems
Problems in our life become so tough
Tough to renew our minds, be there for us so we know
Know that there's nothing for any of us to be really afraid
Afraid as long as we have You right there beside us, as for me...
Me, I only know that I love you very much in my heart and always will
Will, so please, instill in my mind and heart only good thoughts and deeds...
Deeds can be great if you just want them to be, so you can turn them to blessings
Blessings indeed! when you make sure that, that was God who has been guiding you
You're always so much loved and important to Him, no matter who you are or what you do!

~*~ The Truth in Love~*~
My truth lies not in the undulating waves
of the oceans tides
nor the ever changing moon
that endless is her guide
for the truths are hidden
in her great watery skirts
shadowed in her depths,
where lies with truth will flirt
yet high above the waters,
in the skies touched blue and gold
lies a pristine mountain valley
with all the truth ones heart can hold
for the wonder and the beauty
lie naked to the eye
life and love and happiness
enough to make one cry
and trimmed in sparkling wonder,
high atop the peaks
the stars dance nightly with the thunder
as the teardrops stain my cheeks
for never has more beauty,
and truth been spoken so true
as that within the mountain valley
where my heart resides with you
I worship you for the plan made for me
From the beginning you knew the tree
The sun, moon, stars nestled at height just right
An atmosphere that surrounds with good light
Through the centuries you knew when to come
To redeem humanity and touch man some
Bringing hope to a lost and dying world
With your teachings, blood, sweat, tears earth did swirl
The guider, comforter, holder of my heart
Omniscience, all knowledge from the very start
Capturing my heart with all that you made
Creating it from your words needed no spade
Exalt my redeemer, friend, comforter
Valentine, my heart is an admirer
