A love so beautiful

For Niz♥

A love so beautiful
with holding hands so colorful
Truthful hearts intertwined
Their lips perfectly outlined
Kissing with heavenly fire
In dreams with great desire
Sparkling eyes endlessly exploring
Time together never boring
Crazy perfect conversations
Laughter and sharing without limitations
Strong characters combined
Two beautiful souls so kind
Living in alignment with the light
Enjoying a life that shines so bright
A prince and princess
No more no less
A fairytale written by God
A pretty couple looking hot
Everlasting twin flames
with special and beautiful names
Proud of each other for who they are
Every touch produces a star
No darkness enters their realm
and their waters will always be calm
A love so pure and innocent
Truly a miracle our Creator send
They’ll be in heavenly love forever
on a tremendously sparkling endeavour

Daydream

In the middle of the night
I hear him pull on his shoes
I bravely turn on the light
What do I have to lose?

This surely can’t be real?
Is this a dream?
But the hope that fills my heart
wakes me up full steam

I turn off the heating fan
and listen through the silence
could this really be my man
downstairs waiting for us to dance?

No, I don’t hear anything
I must have just imagined
Or is he waiting for me to sing?
these questions leave my senses heightened

Back to sleep and a couple of moments went by
I hear him again loud and clear
singing a song and asking me why
it took me that long to appear

This was not a nightmare
I swear he was there for real
in the morning at the dinner table i stare
at his picture and tell him how i feel

He just gives me that look as he always does
I smile back at him with happy tears
because what a beautiful night it was
to know he’s still here after all these years

Thanks to You

Thanks to you I live
Thanks to you I see
Thanks to you I learned
how not to live

Thanks to you I choose
Thanks to you I glow
Thanks to you I found
my way to shine proud

Thanks to you I know
Thanks to you I withdrew
Thanks to you I left
for the right path in life

Thanks to you I know what not
Thanks to you I forgot
Thanks to you I rebelled
to fight for what’s well

Thanks to you I found my light
Thanks to you I am right
Thanks to you I reject
everything that’s dark

Who are you?
Who am I?

You are you
I am I

From High to Low

She leaves him
From the lowlands to the high
He leaves her
From the low to the high
She leaves him from the low
to the highlands
He leaves her
From higher to the high and
She leaves him
From the high to the higher
He leaves her
from the higher to come home
She leaves him
from the higher to the lowlands
She went high to go home
He stayed high to go home
What a journey from low to high
For only one definitive goodbye

Live

When everything is done
and everything is given
Your tears will dry
through the rays of the sun

Then it’s time for renewed living
and let the burdens behind
in the grave yard of your past
to make space in your mind
for living your dream at last

And let new life flow in
keeping the darkness outside
and let brightness win
Shine like the sun and
LIVE

Happy New Year

Trust

Trust your Heart
and be your own guard
’cause when you ignore your senses
you’ll end at the start
so…..
Follow your Heart
and make a good start
and make no offences
but follow your senses
and be a pure Heart

Colours

Yellow in the fields
Blues in my mind
as spring reveals the colours so kind
I feel the cold times leaving
to make place for warmth
from Grey to Gold weaving
a new pattern in my Heart

Light of a friend

The light of a friend
shines in the dark days of December
As a guide to what you will always remember:
the true love of a dear friend
A beacon of brightness
and embrace soft and tender
Love and care in December
for that is what He has meant
by the beacon of light
to be kind and be a true friend

Release

I pray for Christmas
I pray for peace
I pray for solutions
I pray for release

I pray for my husband
I pray for myself
I pray for my mother
and anyone else

that Christmas will bring us
peace, solutions and release
I pray for God
that Christmas will show Him
that at least what we do
is seeking for
PEACE
SOLUTIONS and
RELEASE

Hiding

Hiding behind a port
Hiding behind a source
Hiding behind a screen
Hiding in between
Hiding behind windows
Hiding behind doors
Hiding behind apples
Hiding and be unseen
Hiding Hiding Hiding
There’s nothing left for seeing
Hiding Hiding Hiding
as if there is no being

Birds

Listen to what the birds have to say
and have a chat with them today!
And when you feel the magical connection
and experience the simplicity of HAPPINESS
And where to find access
To the ultimate ecstasy
of a soul to BE

The Golden Connection

Tears of cumulative strain
losing connection of what was in vain
filling a pond of teardrops
from a waterfall of pain
leaving all that remains
to where my old life stops
with opportunities to gain
with freedom in my brain
looking over the mountain tops
through the rainbow colored rain
I have reached my personal domain
