A smile

a smile is a heavenly thing

especifically on her face

not bothering anyone 

she keeps them in place.

 

while his having no clue

glancing on her bliss comforts his heart

despite she being in blue

she never lets him to go apart.

 

from all those scenarios come in front

creates the will to make his pledge

they will be together as it was dreamt

dedicating his hea...

My rym

I had a glimpse of the shine,

couldn't recognize was it the right time.

Got brighter as you came by.

to step up again and fly those heights.

My angel

Some people believe there is a one, 

The one who points your way to the sun.

 A person they believe makes them complete,

 The one who will support when facing defeat.

 

You are my angel, my one and only,

 My forever love, 

so we'll never be lonely. 

You've brought to my life all your love and care.

 

It made me see when I realized how rare It is to meet your angel, or...

Close My Eyes

Sad at a bar.   sitting on the deck.  watching 

boats drift by; 

finished my grouper sandwich; sipping on my lemon water

wondering -- 

So close to your lips, how did I get so far away in your mind?

I told you a long time ago, you would never have to yell          but

I do.

Today was a break,

          after a break,

                     after a break.                C...

Till the end of the line

I have entered this new chapter of my life,

But it feels like the past is not so far behind.

I wish you were here to see the person who I have become today,

I wish you were here to tell me that it was going to be okay.

 

From seeing each other almost everyday,

To not having spoken to each other for over a year seems like hell.

I wish you were here to get me out of this mess,

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Readable from her eyes,

Even when she cries.

Possible all lies.

So much love to give

The only reason to live.

How shall she prove

The sacrifice? 

She has so much to lose

Every mountain she would move.

Her Sacrifice is the risk she takes.

All her rules and priorities she breaks

To give and give and give

So you can live and live and live.

Some call...
