They said you would deceive
I didn't want to believe
I loved with all my heart
thinking we would never part
I stood loyal and true
Always believing in you
For years I was played
and ultimately betrayed
Too many times it seems
too many broken dreams
I don't think I can heal
when I can't trust how I feel
When you said you lied
all trust inside me died
I fear I'll never recover
from the lies of my "friend and lover".

SUN
The morning sun is slowly rising
dancing splendid upon the horizon
Those shining rays warm a path
to dry the dark nights misty bath
It floods our world with glorious light
chasing darkness and the night
It climbs the sky warming the ground
until it starts to go back down
Then it sets upon the bay
stealing the light with the day
Colorful, beautiful, strong and bold
A wonderful sight to behold
I revel in the glory of
the sun, the moon and God above.

LOST
Out of reach-
Like in winter
A swim at the beach.
Out of sight-
Like something distant
In the night.
Lost in thought-
No where
Can dreams be bought.
Lost in now-
But I will find
Myself somehow.

"I Want You - My Reply"
I want you to stay
and show me your face,
I want you to go out
and lose your shell for me.
Tell me what my hug means to you
Tell me what you think when I kiss you.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
Don't think you're not good enough for me.
I am your fantasy
I'm not letting you fall apart
When we talk I can see
I can feel, you are interesting.
When you say that you love me
and tell me almost everything
I will not break your heart
that's a guarantee.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
Never think you're not good eough for me.
You can tell me all your dreams
I will understand
You must open up to me
If you will, I'll never misunderstood.
'Coz I want you, I need you
and won't make you unhappy just like before.
'Coz I love you, I tell you
You are just good enough for me.
(original Song Lyric written by Mike Peralta -USA_
"She Wants Me"
all credits given to him
I was afraid from early on to act on my passions,
because the price was too high,
life too fragile.
Instead, paying the high price of developing a fragile life
because of its been afraid to toughen.
Afraid,
believing that I did not have the right to forge a place of my own liking and compatibility in the world.
Still believing.
Still facing the unbelievably entrenched fears:
How little I can let myself, my passion, ME be me.
Someone deeply believed that my nature as a human being must be disassociated at all costs,
and I learned it.
I know it is not only me.
Others face the agony,
the excruciating pain of traveling from disassociation to identity.
And my life must not now be over.
I can still have the things I want, but I don't know how.
I have not had a family,
I have not kept faith and traveled with friends.
I have not pursued making the world need my skills and contributions
as part of the machinery of life.
I have not made my identity with myself and with humankind.
