If I'd wear the shoes
for another dance
for one more night
I would seize every minute
the waltz would make me sway
rhythm under the moon
and keep dancing,
dancing,
dancing
I'd waltz the night away
If I could only keep this moment
more than a memory
that I may live it again and again
If I could freeze a second,
for one more music
a waltz I'd dance, forever be
like a dancing little child
What is the sweetest way
to say the words good-bye?
I have, but no words
If I could only take away
this bittersweet part
Then, maybe then,
I wouldn't have to feel a longing
If I could go back
and take away good-bye
Then maybe forever would be here,
standing by..

POEMS

to the love I almost loved
For the heart I almost gave mine
that I almost fell
a tender, youthful sweet
like a soft tickle in one's ear
whispering like a thin cold wind
in the middle of a summer day
I fell during my slumber
in the weakness of my sight
when I thought I've lost and found a shade of refuge
I almost fell in love
I almost loved, when I thought I had
I nearly fell in love, but I didn't
To the man I almost loved
if only words are less louder
that I might have listened to my heart
my heart, that's filled with joy as you smile
as you laugh, as you play, as you make me cry
To the man I almost, completely loved,
if only I had the courage to,
if we could reverse the odds
and I wouldn't feel so much fear
then without fear I would fall and then again I would,
completely love,
the love I almost loved

if only
here i am memories inside keep on running
in my heart i still long for the time we were loving
what can i say when all i did was walk away
when all i need to do was..to love.. but oh if only..
if only if only
love will find its way again
if only love will make us love again
if only if only..
and here we are
looking at each other unspoken
in my heart i'd still love to hold you baby
now all i can say
how i wish i didnt walk away
and all i need is tell you i love you oh if only..
if only if only
love will find its way again
if only love will make us love again
if only if only..
in my heart i still long for the time we were loving
what can i say when all i did was walk away
when all i need to do was..to love.. but oh if only..
if only if only
love will find its way again
if only love will make us love again
if only if only..
and here we are
looking at each other unspoken
in my heart i'd still love to hold you baby
now all i can say
how i wish i didnt walk away
and all i need is tell you i love you oh if only..
if only if only
love will find its way again
if only love will make us love again
if only if only..

castles
i used to hold a castle
with sequioas all over
with roses in a garden
and green grass blankets
with sequioas all over
with roses in a garden
and green grass blankets
i have laid my head and look up the sun,
in summer of play
music in the air
love makes a lovely day
in summer of play
music in the air
love makes a lovely day
i ran inside as clouds turned grey
and roses start to wither
the trees no more a tree
as my castle, shatters
and roses start to wither
the trees no more a tree
as my castle, shatters
nothing more but silence
and cold winter days
everything is blue
my castle, only but inside my heart
and cold winter days
everything is blue
my castle, only but inside my heart

Optics
crossing over the winds of blur, over some silence. when eyes cannot see, hearts beat loud..
as sense, here we are, what gives palette of colors - that dusts would glare in light
crawling though, over, optical rays,
summoning senses..
Here we are, amidst winds.
Still
In silence
Glaring

Silhouette
In an endless silence hovering this emptiness
lying at night, with mere reflections of
what has transpired, and what will become
of tomorrow, with all this silence around
It kills like a spade, like a wind with no soul
How can be such this emptiness,
make me feel more, of a vacuum
so hallow, so shallow, I'm a shadow
Until the sunshine lay its rays
will petals move up again
until that tomorrow when sunrise beams the day
life will begin again.

How
How would my words begin...
...when all the words I wanted to say..
Are too much to be said for a day...
If I asked the sun, to bring you light,
and warmth when it's cold,
If I asked the stars to cover your dreams,
the moon to set things right..
If I catch the morning dewdrops,
and keep them all,
--that I may catch the words...just right--
It took a lifetime,
...staring from this distance,
And it takes another,
...to utter the words
Longing for that moment,
..when every feeling inside
would come to live, like a newborn
How else would my words begin...
..it takes a lifetime, to tell it so
when the only words I wanted to say...
Are all the words I needed you to know...
...when all the words I wanted to say..
Are too much to be said for a day...
If I asked the sun, to bring you light,
and warmth when it's cold,
If I asked the stars to cover your dreams,
the moon to set things right..
If I catch the morning dewdrops,
and keep them all,
--that I may catch the words...just right--
It took a lifetime,
...staring from this distance,
And it takes another,
...to utter the words
Longing for that moment,
..when every feeling inside
would come to live, like a newborn
How else would my words begin...
..it takes a lifetime, to tell it so
when the only words I wanted to say...
Are all the words I needed you to know...
