Learning to live

Learn to listen to your heart. Learn to listen to your conscience. Learn to listen to your instincts. Learn to listen to your intuition. Finally, learn to listen to your mind ... It will promotes you each new thought you have.

Be part of your own life ...!

Looking outside the window

Dancing Trees, excited lonely leaves lying on its own branches bodies, covered with partial sun light reflect by the closed windows that prevents the cold wind from breaking through the obstacles to reach warm individuals wondering, dreaming, waiting, observing the mysteries of the "outside", hoping to see a clearer light so it can guide one to a better solution, to a better life, to a better decision...

Lonely, but never alone

I sit on my bed before going to sleep and look around
My room is empty, so dark, so sad.
As I close my eyes to pray I see an angel
The same I’ve been seeing since we’ve first met
A strong heat takes over my body and mind
Different emotions try to speak to me at the same time
I don’t know how to take it like this
I don’t know why it has to be like this
I only know what feeling this is

For several moments I felt abandoned, I felt forgotten
I’ve never felt so lonely like I’ve been thinking about lately
But I know I’m not alone, in a way… in many ways
But without you I feel alone.

I feel like a new star in the infinite sky that is never to be discovered
A single glass of water lying in the dessert waiting to end a thirst
An owl sitting on the dark just observing and watching as the night becomes day
A key that has fallen on the street but hoping to open another door someday
A wave of the sea that breaks down but is never strong enough to reach a foot
A guitar hanging on the wall waiting to be played, but never touched

A flower that is still colorful even after the spring is over
The only ray of light resting after the summer sun has set
A single leaf the lasts on a tree after the fall has passed
The last snowflake still flying around after winter said good-bye

At the end, everything may have its purpose
I wish I could see it clear now
But if we can’t, well… better let it be and wait for it.

And then

"And then, the so called 'though' boy has been brought to tears once again....
As he reads over your lines....your curves...your fingers....your soul....your heart..
As he reaches over to hold you beside him on a lonely night and finds himself surrounded by all kinds of energies...but only one purpose of feeling...The greatest One!

The warm wind in this cold weather can't help but knocking on the door as days goes by, hoping to blow a gentle breeze...hoping to hear a shouting: Hey...I'm here! And I wanna be here...
I even find myself literally whispering 'make believe' words, as waking up in the middle of the night...trying to be convinced that this is nothing but a dream. A bad one. And as soon as I wake up, everything's gonna go away...
But then finding myself once again alone, in this cold, with no one to hold...

Every walk I take, every note I play, every ray of light that blinds me, every bird I hear, every rain, every sun…
Every new plan, every new idea, every new inspiration, every new recording...
every window I open, every deep breath I take...
Every spontaneous smile, or every attempt of smiling...
There she is...the angel of my dreams...dreams I can't really dream in my real life...

The peace inside of me seems unreachable, 'cause it's incomplete.
My focused mind seems out of order, 'cause it's working too much in a way...
My compassed heart beats seems a whole confused percussion set playing at the same time, cause it's been beaten like this...

My letters, my words, my thoughts, my wishes...My music...
They are the ones that, so far, understand me and take care of me...
But All at the same time drift to only one star. Only one angel.
They will always transmit the truth inside, with nothing, ever, to hide.
There's still so much to be said, to be lived, to be done...
And for all I know...they can never be done...

Time, "right" time

Without you, my world is messy
Without you my life is empty
The jokes are no fun
The ray light comes from no sun
A road with no car
Why'd you had to go so far...
It's a tale with no fairy
My future, now, so scary
A music with no rhythms, only notes
I'm running out of thoughts, only quotes
My words may not even rhyme all the time
But they sure tell who I am and for me what's fine
I wish I was fine...And as a star I wish I was bright
Time will tell... As I tell the with you it All feels right!

From Inside

The clock is ticking, my mind is seaking.
Your shadow on my wall, in my arms you should fall.
Your steps are music to my ears.
Your hug makes go away all my fears.
Loving to stare at you while you sleep.
It’s when I notice that for you my love grow so deep.
So full of meanings, the moments we had.
The ones we still don’t know, I want them so bad.
With you I sure feel such a strong connection
And I wish a life full of love, full of passion.
My love, my angel, my baby.
I so feel for you, and for you I’m so crazy.
The Love that we share, that we live, that we intend.
Such a strong and pure Love inside.
And from inside will never end.

Love Will Do

This search seems to never cease.
It kills me the silence behind all this feelings.
Where are you? I cannot see you...
I can’t kiss you, I can’t hug you.
Can’t hold you, can’t caress you.
Wanting to be with you is what makes me feel alive.
Being able to see your smile, look deep in your eyes.
Stare at you forever, smell your hair.
Feel your soft touch, taste your sweet lips.
Count your heart beats over my body.
Dream of you, wake up and see you sleeping like an angel beside me.
With no fear, no worries…
Only the feeling of knowing that when I finally wake up again,
You are the first thing I’m gonna see.
And that my first action would be hugging you, kissing you,
telling you how much I love you and wishing you a Good day.
And knowing that we couldn’t help but making love right there…
With so much passion, so intense, so magical, so right…
Deeply and truly in love like two souls inhabiting one single body,
With two heart beating equally and forever.
My search still continues, I can’t find you here…
I wish I’d never had to look For you, just look At you.
If I knew our last kiss would be the last, I would have never stopped kissing you.
If I knew our last moment of love would be the last, I would have kept my arms all over and around you so I could have you in my arms forever.
Every time I think of you, when I miss you, I’m even afraid to close my eyes, knowing I could easily cry by not having you by my side.
From all this I’m sure that the Love we built is the Love we are gonna live with.
And all these memories, desires, wishes…
Well, they are only a small part of what our Love can still Do.

Eye, The Look

One eye, surrounded by waves, blinking, reflecting,
Observes the horizon…
Lines make this horizon even larger.
Deep inside it is possible to see a light. Sun? Moon? Light…
A way full of options, options with many ways.
Go ahead? Come back? Stop…
But stop just for a moment. The eyes reflect the next step.
The eyes are mirrors of life, glow of the dreams, words of truth.
That in one look it answers questions that haven’t even been asked yet.
One look, one expression.
One message from the heart.

A Remaining Light

(Music background: Valsa da Dor)

I do not know what to feel anymore
All that despair, the anguish, ash ...
I can not hear anything else...
My eyes close, my mouth shut, my fingers shrink.
My throat dries and my lips tremble,
Would it be fear? Would it be desire? Would it be pain?
Would it be...?
I wanted to, I could not ... Every day.
My words do not convince anymore, I feel dumb, mute.
My eyes do not hypnotize anymore, I feel blind.
My touch does not shiver anymore, I feel invisible.
Only my desire manifests itself, but it confuses.
It expresses itself, but it is silent. How can it be?
A candle is all that remains of light outside my darkness.
Because Inside of me I still have the strongest light.
The light of love.

Out There

(Music background: Melodia Sentimental)

A love that merges with light, with Sun, with Earth, with Air, with Sea. Love.
Waves of tenderness travels in my space on the way to its inside.
Movements that dictate the fate of a life, but it doesn't guess the next step.
Birds watch over me, enchant me. Outside, wind, cold, sun, hope ...
Where you see a ray of light, there are angels.
Shapes, designs, lines, contours, life ...
The breathing is more meaningful with the feeling that only with regret.
Barriers where before only paths, and now thorns.
The loneliness, excitement, fear of not, without having a hand ...
But with a heart.
Big heart, full heart, without fear, dreams, screams, calls, shows ...
Heart of the evening because it knows when to go to sleep and dream ...
Heart of the sunrise, where every day is a renewed hope that is within you ...
Outside, wind, cold and dark ... No!
Sun, light, hope!
