Sweet, gentle, quiet smile

I met her somewhere with her sweet gentle quiet smile

when I saw her, something shifted inside, I fell in love

with someone whom I knew, would never be by my side

so,...when I left, I said goodbye to that sweet, gentle, quiet smile

promising myself, I would never reveal to her what lived inside

now,...many years later, I thought that sweet gentle quiet smile

would have faded out of my heart and my life, still how hard

I tried, she never left, she's still with me, until,... I guess, the end

of my times.

'Dear God'

He came down the escalator of life

looked around and saw the wonders of the world

and the miracles that didn't happen

he saw the heavy faces 

and the ones that shone eternal light

walking back,... he saw the sweet souls 

that took off before,...being born,... reaching heaven

he was shattered and he whispered

'Dear God ' ,... they,...Earth will not survive

She makes me smile

so I tell her, when I do fall in love, 

will it be for the better

will it let my breath whisper 

and blow into your heavens

will it let my soul find your spirit 

where it is waiting

will my whisper 

break into your heavens

let me know when it does

and she looks at me 

with those lazy dreamy eyes

her mouth half open 

inviting me and she sighs

you're my man

you rock my heavens in desire 

you're my peace when I'm on fire

still looking at me 

with those lazy dreamy eyes, 

what can I say she makes me smile

Man of taste, style and a smile

the eyes,...that look at you, wander all over you

are the eyes that wanna mess with you

from way back, years on the ride, walking through

this valley of peace in your soul and mind

when that time comes something is very clear,...

you've been found, that man of taste, style and a smile

that laughs at society, 'cause you will never comply

with their sense of taste, style and a smile, as the eyes

that wandered all over you, are walking with you,...

down this road, where only love grows, 'cause she

wanted to mess with you

A mind so beautiful

sometimes I look over my shoulder

into the distance of a lost yesterday

a yesterday I left behind something 

comes to mind

a mind so beautiful, so full of love, in love

I guess I should have stayed, I should have tried

I left somewhere around midnight

I had that urge buried in me, deep inside

an urge to be again on that road

be on that stage, perform, my way of life

I couldn't resist and I couldn't hide

so now I'm back on that road

enjoying what I do best,... yet what you do best

always comes at a price. I had to leave 

a beautiful mind

so sometimes I look over my shoulder

into the distance of a lost yesterday

a yesterday I left behind, something 

comes to mind

a mind so beautiful, so full of love, in love

I guess I should have stayed, I should have tried

I left somewhere around midnight

Prince of darkness

when the night has come upon me

and Lucifer's wrath is nothing more

than an unreal dark hole, with nothing to offer

 

trying to spil his venom into my mind and soul

in an attempt to stop my new morning from coming in

I challenge my fate and his poisen dies a brutal death

as my willpower is more than he can take

claiming my new morning as a release for my peace

when its light caresses my mind, body and soul

healing his madness of darkness,...

inside me.

Escape

when the rain has fallen, but its solution, a road less travelled 

still speaks a lie, take no prisoners but escape into the light 

'cause,...even the smallest amount of happiness 

can last a lifetime
