Best regards...

Does her body tremble when she thinks of me?
Does her heart race with the memory of my kiss?
Is it me who she is dreaming of at night?
Do I deserve to have a love as good as this?

I haven't known her for too long
A few short days
I regretedly had to leave her side
for some place far away
But I know her love is here to stay...

I lay awake at night with feelings in my heart,
so strong and powerful they seem to light the dark.
I have visions of our bodies taking flight,
My heart is pounding and my head is feeling light.

I smell her fragrance in the air,
it makes me sway.
I long to touch and stroke her hair,
But she's so far away.
Yes, I know her love is here to stay
With me.

Although we're apart,
She is deep inside my heart,
She is constantly going through my mind,
The miles are so unkind
But one day I know I'm going to find
Her
With me

With me

another. this one not so sappy.

"None but who I am"

Nations of stairways and skyways and doorways,
I have been down them and up through them all.
Hung in the balance of nonsense and silence,
I ask you a question and, you, me one more.

- How could you know what my eyes have seen centuries since...
- How could you speak what my tongue has not shapened...
- Who am I to you deceive...
- Who are you to just believe...
- How could you offend to say...
- Where are all my roles to play?

Leaf through your dreams,
and see what the writing means
The words of your choice
are the chimes of my voice.

How could you walk on the waves?
How could I be but a slave?
What have I done to be damned?

I am none but who I am
I am none
but
who
I am.

and let you breathe on me , so gentle
and i can feel you closer
to me than my veins
am i closer enough to you?
you merge into me
i wave my thoughts into you
and i can feel you running
in my mind
in my blood
in my being
you devastate me
and you keep me apart
and unified

at the same time
let me be into now
and get closer
till there wil be no difference between us
you become me i become you
we become one
you breathe with my lungs
i speak with your tongue

waiting sharpens my sense of expectations..
the more i get overwhelmed by this
unbearable missing,
the more i get devastated by an immense longing.

i am a waste- land thirst,
and all your seas, your rivers,
your universes
are yet to be enough for me.

Alone, I recreate your
images one by one, all alone.

Helpless, i keep swinging between you and you.
powerful, i keep wheeling in all that is your universe
and beyond.

I am never yours
in closeness.
I am never yours
in farness.

I am yours only
in the togtherness
that is spaced by
you and me
apart and unified at the same time.

my whole world
has come to an end,
to a final demention:
YOU
I run from you to you.
How sweet could you ever be?

on me , you exercise this unworldly magic
that spellbinds me
in your presense and absence alike.

I can't help thinking about you.
everytime i think about you
you become a totally new person
i never knew before.
everytime you prevail my mind,
i love you
as for the first time.
with every single thought
you are a first love to me-
delighting and
saddening all at once :
every pure joy has to come to an end.

I Am Not There

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow:
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

The author is unknown and I have kept it for 17 years.
