The Ultimate Prize
Time squandered in waiting for a lover to return. So take the courageous step to move on in search of someone new. Time waits for no one and soon this life on earth will pass. Hunt in the unlikely places to find new love.
Nel cuore c'è posto (music and lyrics by Franco Iurich 2018)
Just one of my songs
A Single Rose
My Heart was so broken by lost love that I felt Angels trying to comfort me. But even they couldn't help and cried with me.
Now
The setting sun caresses curtains eyelashes heavy from kisses black night insomnia. Just like your lips used to be and hands wading on my body map. Last flash of rays drowns in hair like your breath on the neck, in the bend of the hand. I
I THOUGHT
The man who inspired this one still has not seen it. Interesting how one person can inspire us in many ways. Is that what love is meant to do? I guess I was angry when I wrote this one hence the CAPS. lol
REFLECTED IN MY EYES
You now know when you looked what you saw reflected in my eyes Tears flowing in my eyes You saw this quiet man was not crying for myself I was crying for you I grasped the pain in your heart You know I see you The pieces of your h

my Pimlico girl
I love my Pimlico girl and she loves me. I saw her beside the Regent’s Canal, haloed by early morning sunbeams, a modern day Madonna, reading La Peste. I straightened a crooked Gauloise, and mingled words with smoky rive-ga

PUZZLE PIECE
I have never felt I quite have fit into any of the spaces of my life I have been in - still searching for my own special spot.
The Lonely Swan
I have a friend who had a pair of Trumpeter swans but the female died and now he is one lonely swan. Not sure, but I have heard that swans mate for life.
Light of Hope
Many years, lost in thought, imprisoned by the brain. Lost my mind, all alone, almost gone insane. Through the clouds of dismay, hope was very near. The light shone through, the cause to persevere. Talking now, back and forth, througho
Lost Trust???
My head is a mess and my heart is dead. I try to be fine but, I just keep dying. Life has been a hell of a ride I don't mean on the good side... The older we become The harder it is, when things come undone, To begin again... Tru
Playing the Loners Game
The poem/song I wrote is complicated, yet; understandable. I grew up in the Army traveling from one state to the next, so by the time I hit my teenage years I came to realize that I was/am a loner! I really never belonged or fit in anywhere. The girls liked me and the boys wanted to fight me!! lol Til one day in December of 1988, I met this girl, she was 16 and I was 18; and from that point on life gave purpose! The word loner no longer existed. Unfortunatly, over the span of 30 years being together our love lost it's luster. A little over a year ago she told me she no longer loved, nor; wanted me anymore and that she's felt that way for a long time. When I talked of future travels out of state and perhaps living there for awhile, her thought of travels are to the mailbox! lol
Fallen
Can we ever count our cost, When this long journey seem to have been lost where do you find a smile to put on your face? When the truth is on the inside it feels I've fallen from Grace Will we ever find our way home, Or stay stuck in this pla
The Garden
A mother leaving a husband and their children. We wonder why some do that. My heart sunk, like always when we hear something like this, I could not comprehend. They were a perfect couple and never suspected there was any kind of facade. But just this week, she left him and their kids. Some are unable to comprehend how she couldn't see she left a diamond. But who are we to judge? She is a beautiful diamond too, a very good wife and mother for as long as I have known her. But for some of us if there's a need that is not being met; a longing, a void that's never filled; life is not worth-living. She knows he loves her, she cannot understand why he would not expresses his love for her in a manner that makes her feel loved. He invested so much to have her move from her country and get settled down-under. But like most men; he overlooked her need for him to remain the centre of her world. Knowing her as a confident young woman; he probably presumed she didn't need him to be around most times. Marriage should never be the end of the romance. Women's needs do not change just because they become wives. They still long to be made to feel special; to remain the subject of their husbands' poems, lyrics of their songs and recipient of their appreciation, adoration and attention. Women's needs to remain in love remains the same all through out, maybe even more once married. Lucky is the man who knows passion should be re-lit over and over as time goes; her woman will never think of leaving! Most forget that, Some soon start forgetting special dates, starts appreciating other's instead of the one who chose to be with them. This often makes a woman starts feeling unimportant, and usually gives birth to deep-seated resentment. Even confident women still need to hear and made to feel they are loved, special and important. When the very reasons a woman falls for a man are withdrawn; the feelings/emotions that developed from them usually go away. Love goes away in the absence of the deeds that won someone's heart in the first place. It is very much like baking; the ingredients are what makes the cake...take them away and you have no cake. He really is a great guy, he probably just did not realise that there are different love languages and if he fails to speak her wife's love language/s; his actions fail to translate into love in a way or language the wife understands. Friends are still in shock, their heart goes out for the husband and their beautiful children; but after our conversation, they now see her in a better light!

Letter from under the Water
If you were my friend, Help me to leave you... Or if you were my beloved, Help me to be healed of you... If I had known that the sea was so deep, I would not have dove in... If I had known That Love was so perilous, I would not have fallen

I Love You More Than words Could Ever Say I feel it growing in my heart each and every day All this Love I feel Has never felt so real You give me something no one has Ever given me It's something You cannot see Love so strong, and so true It

“When did you leave”
When did you leave Twilight fell quickly and the flowers have lost their color. When did you leave time stopped in place not giving a chance for tomorrow. When did you leave I began to die slowly stepping pain to feel that I still exist.
Loving You
This was written to express feelings experienced when love between a significant other has been turned off. It is written to encourage your remembrance of the good the relationship brought to one's life.

No winners
I don't know I just did. I guess I wanted to bring across two hearts that beat as one, that are ment to be together and yet can't be.Soulmates separated. Love is a sacrifice and both lovers sacrificed alot for the other and yet...before them is a bridge/a secret that nobody is sure they can cross and not die.
Two seeds
A simple poem of 2 souls meeting, the potential they share as one and how quick all can be lost.
Sir Cafe......
This poem was originally written for a dear friend of mine after several personal discussions with him regarding his particular challenges at the time. Jim was, and still is an incredible person....his legacy will live on forever, and his extremely strong testimony of our Dear Saviour Jesus Christ has all but ensured his well-being eternally. God bless you my dear brother, you have been an amazing friend to me and so many others here. You will be severely missed.

Anna loves her Jesus
Another one of my unfinished songs re a born again Christian I knew in college. THE PRAYER: I found myself hiding in my dorm room in Pentagon Dorm. After seven years trying to fix myself since high school and running from people out of fear. I thought OMG I'm never ever going to be better! How can i endure this? Will i be living with social phobia when im 60!! Even at this point no prayer was said yet not until i thought OMG being at college is supposed to be the happiest time of my life. I THEN CRACKED! It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Spontaneously i sent out a pure heartfelt honest sincere desperate cry for help. I TRIED I CAN'T DO IT BY MYSELF, LORD I NEED HELP. I wish i had journaled what happened in that moment bc i don't remember exactly, which is a bummer, but the next day seemingly out of the blue i decided to thank God for anything positive that might happen during the day even if it was just smile from someone. the cool thing was i actually felt gratitude as positive things began to pile up. I figure on some level i must of turned it over to God. Since He is now running the show or why would i the next day be thanking him for any positive experiences. Why didnt i do it yesterday or a week before. What im saying is something happened out of that prayer either I dont remember or something below my consciousness. This next thing is hard to communicate but I deducted if i did remember what happened in that instance after THE PRAYER i would be propelled back into that sacred holy space.(which is rare for me and out of my control). Just a theory I would be reliving it not just remembering it. Anyway in a month i was completely transformed and having a blast! During this time i felt a strong desire to make up for lost time. And not fall victim to that Mr Grinch part of me that was so afraid of what people might think that kept me not being me and living afraid in a cage called: What will people think! If there was a devil this would be the perfect way to sabotage someone from preventing them from living out their potential! Now though after my transformation which included waking up each morning jumping out of bed cant wait to start the day and go out into the world and be with people. Also l also had a strong need to let people know that they had inherent greatness within them. That they are not seeing their potential. Just like me before the prayer. Interesting tho this thing l was going thru was similar to what l read many years later about what Joseph Campbell talked about re all the hero's journey stories in mythology. After the hero goes thru his trails and is transformed by them he would have the option to go back into the world to help people achieve what he had achieved. l ended up doing outrageous things(a part of me wanted to make up for lost opportunities)BTW it was at this time i started Anna’s Song. Years later looking back I realized it was the happiest time of my life!
Im sorry
Wrote this awhile back, Apologies for the repetition, just the way it came out...

”day you left”
Breathe in sunsets of regrets. Emotional avalanches with midnight frets. Tearful dark greets another mournful dawn. Gloomy days reigns, happiness forgone. The colors of my rainbow were theft. The god forsaken day you left.
