September Without You

Another need for silence
One more chance I have been given
To learn one of life's lessons
I am destined to be re-living

Until I've learned I will re-live you
And that lonely September
That shaped my heart, and for forever
Gave me something to remember

Thinking I belong with you
Knowing that I don't
Hoping to survive the illusion
Knowing that I won't

Another pair of green eyes
Illuminating my day by day
It must be that closing my eyes and heart
Is the price I have to pay

Even if I'm blessed
With a sense of Reality
I don't deny that I secretely wish I could be with you
For time and all Eternity

But therein, my friends, lies the lesson
To learn to shut off my senses, and keep my mouth shut too
So I don't have to re-live another September
Without someone like you

That Moment

Everyone else disappeared
And I was left alone with you
Only for a moment

Your eyes were closed so you didn't notice
As I found myself
Contemplating you in awe

So preciously sorrowless
So impossible to hurt
Were you in that moment

When we were left alone
In a room full of people
And I was the only one that noticed

Alone

On my way into the deepest hole
You already saw me there
Not because it was my Destiny
But because you saw my heart

You saw so many other things
And I was letting you see them
My caleidoscopic mind is open
If you only want to know the way

Few are the ones that take the risk
Fewer the ones that bother
But being so alike me
I want to believe it was a pleasure for you

You've seen so many things
That I will never know them all
My secrets, my joy, my plans, and my pain
You saw everything by just loving

So when your eyes told me
That everything will be fine without you
I closed my eyes and believed you
And now I'm all alone

The emptiness is talking to me
The saddest thing you can hear is
"I will see you again some day"
When you want to see them today

But now I am here all alone
Longing for yesterday
When you weren't only a happy memory
And I was missing noone

You Could Happen To Me

You are the moment
I don't know if it will ever come
Like a suspected surprise
Planned for a long time
By someone to love

You are the door that opens
The sound of anticipation
Of possible exitement
That takes my breath away
Everytime you could happen to me

You are the footsteps
That I hope are coming closer
Closer to my heart to settle down
Closer to my life to stay
Closer to me

You are the feeling
That potential to bubble up inside of me
To relieve all my pains
And surround me with the certainty
Of a greater tomorrow

You are the secret corner of my smile
Where noone is allowed to go
It's the only place where I can be with you
Where we can be together
There, and in my mind

Jules Verne

Lovely beetle on the stage
Why don't you sing a song about this page
A song about bottles, and candles, and toast
Where Jules Verne has been our host

Good company and good friends
Sharing together a meal
Drinking to the moon light
Asking for things to reveal

Sleepy light without any candles
The wind blows us to Baltimore
Where romantic taxi boat
Takes us to the other shore

But the memory takes us back
To where we are now
Writing together a poem
In this beautiful town

Where Maybe Meets Always

I am tired
Sometimes it's hard
To long for someone
I don't know exists
Still I feel your presence
A sunbeam from your soul
Daily visits mine
Filling me with hope

When I lay down at night
I wonder how it will be
The day that we finally meet
I want to feel the connecting sparkle
The warmth of your embrace
That I forever can call home

So many blessings waiting for us
That is what I've been told
Meanwhile we will be
In each others prayers
So when our longing meet
The Spirit will be able to
Overwhelm our hearts
Removing every doubt

If incompletion strikes you at night
I want you to know I feel the same
If we hold out a little longer
Loneliness will soon be ours to share
Become our little temple
Where the walls are built of love
A power finally unleashed

I know we both may be tired
But those stars you see in the sky
Are all my thoughts of you
Remember them well
Because one day you will see them in my eyes
They will predict our future
So I will keep them shining

I'm sending you this message
To remind you that I do exist
And I'm yearning
For the day we both will be prepared
I promise to do my best every day
To come closer to you
I expect nothing else from you
Until we meet
I will be waiting for you in the horizon
Where Maybe meets Always
Hoping that you're thinking about me too

Roads

On the road passing an old home
In a country where I thought I loved
But maybe never did
It makes it hurt that it ever happened

Where much is lost
Much is learned
The difference between loss and gain
Lies in the denial of the beholder

I stayed for so long
Where noone needed me to be
Because of an imagined reality
And lack of correct illusions

Fate takes us where it wants to
When we are afraid of taking control
Only decisions made with the soul
Give way to what they call Destiny

So much time wasted
Thinking we know what we're doing
And even more, trying to change direction
On a path we might never dare to take

Full of life and hopes
Powers we've never been using
Fears of all kinds and sizes
Known and unknown

Godless, yet God-conscious
Lost in labyrinths of young desires
Imagined revelations
All leading to roads not taken

Roads leading to new opportunities
To take control of our fears, and of love
Of Reality, and of Destiny
It will hurt if it never happens
