Open Door PolicyHi sweet lady, do you know?
If you do please tell me so
Once a year, is that too much?
Those words from you are like a touch
Of velvet fingers, soft on skin
My door is open do come in
Take my heart, I want you to
Uno, you know, ILU

Poppies burn like love under the sun that births longingPoppies burn like love under the sun that births longing,
Let me ask for forgiveness, to touch your face with light,
To be your sunbeam, to be a halo on your delicate brow,
To caress your skin with a sweet breeze, a zephyr that caresses the wheat,
Let my smile seduce you, let longing flow over your waist.
The evening...

Like A Soft Caress On The Skin, Filled With Enchanting Sin
Come to me like a wild horse unbridled longing for the river
like a morning prayer on the heart wanting nothing more
Come to me with pining like a widow waiting for her love
like a soldier in the trenches, begging for cease fire ...
Come to me like a dove gliding over peaceful waters
like...

A Weird, Funny, Crazy ThingIsn't it weird that I say multiple names a day, but my breath catches only when I say yours?
Isn't it weird how people try to make me smile, yet all their attempts remain futile?
Isn't it weird how my eyes travel across the room, in hopes of finding you?
Isn’t it weird how I stay...

Synergy
A smile and a kind word go a long way
for opening doors and opportunities
to worlds we might love to discover.
With age, it becomes increasingly
apparent that these soul connections
are the attractions that we crave....

I dream in aquamarinememories of an exotic sun rippled sea
as undulating waves caress a warm beach
i see colours scintillating, bleached
this brings forth images of paradise
and means sublime happiness to me...

The Gates Of A Heavenly WaveMy mind is wrapped in wonder,
To think that I could love her;
How can we explore,
Our caring for each other?
All that has ever haunted,
Was a poltergeist, unwanted!
Which prayer could there be,
That is meant for love evolving?
Which prayer should I speak,
May reach God’s ears,
To problem solve it?...

UnbelievableA dream of you and me
A beach house by the sea
A stroll along the shore
Knowing we want more
But this gets better yet
Wait until sunset
Stars and Venus rise
Desire's in our eyes
It's still a little soon
Not before the moon
And then a night of bliss
Commencing with The Kiss
A waiting music stand
A blanket on the sand
A...

The Road Calls Me Back
The red earth remembers my name,
whispers it in the dust that rises,
welcoming me home, not as I was,
but as I have become.
The streets hum, alive with rhythm,
voices colliding like rivers meeting,
the scent of Indian chai thick in the air,
folding memory into the morning breeze.
I return to a place both known and strange,
where past and present...

NiksatMy heart kneels
at the sight of her tribal marks
Bogoria’s geysers gushing
Love, splattering Blood
Parting her lips to split
the world between mortals and gods
I kiss her
to split her Soul,
create Life with her
destroy all her Fears,
let my intrusive Thoughts
claim Victory, fill her Void;
Diamanti sono per sempre, I
ignore her Flaws, put her above
the soi-disant amour propre, Belgard
her Sacred nature;...

Home Away from HomeI hope the echoes of our laughter
still linger in your halls,
and dust from our shoes
still clings to your floors.
I hope your tables still cradle
the dreams we wove with ink —
amid silent sighs and tired eyes,
our thoughts drifting far and away.
I hope you still sing our song,
tuned with secrets we once shared,
with notes born from inside...

To Karin: Brandenburg GateLike some dark frail bird
she quivered and fluttered
there at my door
one dark cold Advent night,
swearing to return
come the new year
with a photo of Brandenburg Gate.
Arms, hands, fingertips, eyes,
then nothing between us
but electrified space –
her light tread descending the steps –
my heart drawn downward
by the diminishing sound.
Sometimes still my heart is snared
between winter
a swirling hem
and Brandenburg...

Missing YouIt's a funny
strange thing
When you're not around
Like the lack
of a smile
On a circus clown
Or a ferris wheel,
With all empty seats
a candied apple, More tart than sweet
Like a merry-go-round
That looks kind of scary
Or that huge prize teddy
You're not here to carry
An amusement park, On a winters day
And as...

Here we are again, on paths of time where thoughts flow like water under the sky of longingHere we are again, on paths of time where thoughts flow like water under the sky of longing,
it's absurd, I know, but I carry within me a joy that grows like a flower in a field,
it's not an explosion, but a warmth like a hearth that heats the frosty night,
I have no faith to light...
