Lightning, thunder and dark storms
Crown this God forsaken land
Just as the meadows
Once a landscape of blooms
Of butterflies and dandelions
Became a haven of the doomed

We walk, caped with fear
Worn from the deepest of our souls
Ill fated on the very day of our birth
We live to die, every second
For hatred and ingratitude
We are eternally consumed

But there is a way
Turn around and change
Hardened hearts be softened
Replace insults and arrogance
Into humility and repentance
I know we can, we truly can.

Let go our human frailty
Let us thrive and aspire humility
Inspire and raise our hands
Let us all join our brother's hand
Peace and love, joy and compassion
A beautiful life to be reckoned.

For each and all, we're brothers and sisters
With love and unity, forever, we should be
And this doomed and God forsaken land
Will once again, be our refuge and heaven.
Can we all join each other then
So peace, love, happiness is ours again....

Shall we?

A vast ocean separates us,
night and day stand beetween,
when you walk...I dream,
when you dream...I wait.



I close my eyes to look your face,
I can touch your lips with my fingertips,
I can feel your breath when you,
try to kiss my neck....


Distance, distance....
as the white clouds dissapear,
as the silence can be hear,
I can touch his heart,
like the bird with is wings...the wind.

The axe whacks,
The saw cuts,
The trees bleed green blood,
The "Timber!" call,
Trees fall,
The earth sings the saddest song,
The ground feels the dying roots,
When will we see the awful truth,
Corporations make a dollar or two,
Deforestation is killing the world...

There was a man so proud and strong
Who tried so hard yet did no wrong
His life his love were torn apart
To leave him bleeding with a broken heart
The evil of money the evil of fame
Left him poor and ruined ne’er the same
But now he’s rich beyond compare
Because he’s found a life that’s bare
Of all the worldly wants and stress
A place of calm and peacefulness
Within himself his thoughts are true
It came to him out of the blue
And now the words of which he speaks
Cry out with love from mountain peaks
To tell the world a new day is dawning
Forget his past forget his mourning
Cause now he’s filled with fire again
The power of life is filling his brain
And telling his story
Of love life and glory
Will be a dream come true
If only if only, he can find you.

Shadows painted on my face
Passing clouds over my eyes
Lost my gaze into a cavern
Attentive to my heart’s soft rhythm
Feet stuck to an earthen floor
Aromas of decay and springs
Besides a wet glistening rock
Hands held touching a crevice
Tracing any hint of sensation
Heightened in every senses
Taking that first quiet step
Somewhere deep inside my soul

--After--

I need you
to force me to do things
I don't want to do.
Because I can't bear it
when you touch me with gentle hands.
I need more,
because I can't stand
the idea that maybe
I'm really in love.
Hate me and
break me,
again, again
because I don't want this
to be slow or sweet
because I don't want to be thinking about you
after you leave me.

Can I ever speak what my heart feels
Without being laughed at and ridiculed
Send you a message my loves seals
Where you will never again be fooled
Do I dare to see what a future reveals
When only one heart wants to be ruled
And only one heart seeks and prevails
Becoming the gentlest ever schooled
And together with you blazing new trails
All golden fleece is spun and spooled
All the mountains climbed and scaled
Can I ever speak my mind so you’ll
Know me and never feel lost and failed

A howl is heard far off into the night, a bark is also heard as a response.
A human crosses their path.
How will they maneuver this creature who wants to separate them from each other?
Both are like each other, both will stand and fight but for different reasons.
Will peace ever show between them?

Then one night, the cry of the wolf is heard.
It`s not the cry of love, or longing, it`s the cry of defeat.
The dog heard this cry, and answered his sorrow. Will peace ever show between them?
The human hears this cry but doesn`t understand the meaning. The human still separates them.
Why? Because he`ll never understand the love they share.

Peace will come, but it`ll come too late for the wolf will cry his last cry and the dog will answer, but she will die with him for their love was too close to be separated from anyone, even the dogs` best friend.

there is something in your eyes
that recalls the intense fragrance of a heavely universe
there is a world of light and colors in your magic eyes
and l lose my-self inside
even when you are not with me l think about your eyes
because they speak to me,yes l know words written in the wind and water but words that remain with me
a deep blue the color of an immense universe in your eyes
perhaps because the color of love is blue
me and you among angels in a blue dimension
an ethernal melody that will be forever with me
in your eyes
