Teach My Skin

You say that all is well
even if you’re not near
but my skin doesn’t seem
to know the difference
between untouched
and gone for good
Can you teach it
to hold your embrace
in its cells
so it can already feel
your return

Where Love Doesn’t Stop

I wish I could keep you here
in my land
the idea of being near
even if my hands
cannot touch you
But does it matter
where you are
if matter doesn’t matter
if love doesn’t stop
at the borders of sight
at the borders of land
not even at the borders
of our heart

Where Van Gogh Was Born

Did you return to the place
where our eyes once
found each other
where Van Gogh was born
and where we gave birth
to love art one night in July
Did you see the emptiness
this time
Or did you still see me
looking at you from inside
with eyes that want to be freed
from the past
and want to find yours once again
in the now

Your Day

Today is not any day
or just a day
Today is a special day
It is your day
A day to celebrate
how far you’ve come
what you bring
to the world
your uniqueness
your oneness
your everything,
something and nothing
your expression of life,
of the divine
what you came here to do
what you will do
You doing you being you
practicing, learning,
struggling, surviving
overcoming,
dreaming, living
and thriving

A day to celebrate
love
to celebrate
you

Where The Music Is

There’s a place
where music is,
where the light is
where they all are
where you are
and I can’t go there
I can’t go in

It’s dark where I am
and I had wished

But then I hear music
from within
and I know
it is,
it has already been
your heart
that has let me in

Moon And Earth

Now we are under the same sky
Do you still look up
Do you see
that the moon embraces us
finding us with her light
Apart, we have the same earth
beneath our feet
Moon and earth, they both
seem to know the way

Slow Motion

The world is spinning so fast
Time is running in front of me
My feet don’t go yet so far
and I can’t keep up with your pace
can we go in slow motion
slow but steady
slow hands, fingers
slow touch
as we slow down the world

Leaving Behind

If the open fields of life beckon
and you dance towards Spring,
don’t leave me behind
in the dark woods of the mind
where I’m lost
between motionless thoughts
but take my hand
as I leave behind the dark woods

Night And Day

Night and day
make love at dawn
Stars in the sky
Glowing, vibrating red
on the horizon
that almost bursts
into the rising sun
She and he
just one more kiss
as they merge
and balance
Tonight at sunset
they will meet again

Frozen

When I’d like to say to you so much
but words keep frozen inside
and the only thing that flows are tears,
that are watering my eyes
then feel my unsaid words,
taste them, make them melt on my lips
and in your arms

The Sound Of Your Heart

There you are
behind bars
in your own mind
But don’t listen
to the sound
of your thoughts
that scream, sadden,
seduce and imprison you
that say that you can’t
that you should have done
or shouldn’t do
Instead, listen
to the sound
of your heart
and hear its sweet melodies
and dance to it
dance to break free
from all that isn’t you
