Hide not from me The love in your eyes. Lay your fears Upon my feet And place your hand in mine. From this day on Together shall we walk And no dark clouds Shall keep the sun from warming our hearts. Untitled I could die today And you wouldn’t care. I could lay down my life for you And you wouldn’t care. I could go to the end of the earth and back And you wouldn’t care. What must I do to be noticed by you? Please tell me For my heart is on fire And I yearn to hold you in my arms. Untitled Even in the shadows I can see the light, When I am looking through the eyes of true love. The Promise In the house of the Lord They promise To run hand in hand in the sun and in the rain. They promise To share their laughter and their tears. They promise To make a home And decorate it with colour and light. They promise To make their dreams reality. They promise To carry each other over the sea. They promise To cherish their love forever. They promise To live and die together. Untitled Ships that once went sailing, Words that once were spoken, Hope that once was given, All for love did live. Such a Wonderful Existence Oh, fair maiden So radiant is your beauty. Such captivating eyes you posses. Such an enchanting smile lightens your face. Such beautiful golden hair falls gently down your shoulders. Beauty as such has never been seen before. Lovely as you are I feel you belong to me, Yet I know I must share you. You waltz around that white building In your white dress With your red smile. And I From a small distance Love you! Love Love, a rose It's every petal precious Its beauty is captivating And its aroma is dazzling. It whispers your name in the wind And it embraces you Like an Angel would. Love Was Once A Rose Love was once a rose With silk petals That so gently did unfold. But time went by And the rose lost all of her beauty So love became a painful thorn. The darkness of a never ending night Captured the roses' beauty And kept her beauty imprisoned in a dark dungeon. But the thorn Could not take the place of the rose forever For the rose never gave up, For the rose never did submit herself. So from the thorn, the rose was reborn And all of her beauty was restored. And as I look At that one and only rose I realise that I must protect her From ever becoming a thorn again, And to do that I know I must love forever. Love unites Even if Time and space Keep us apart Love will always bring us together. Untitled Love is an emotion, A beautiful one That joins two souls Until they become one. Untitled Distances mean nothing To those who truly love. The right path will always be chosen When guided by love’s brilliant light And every hardship can be born Through love’s iron strength. Days in the Sun Days in the sun Were days out of the rain, The rain that I felt in my mind, The rain that could drown out all of my dreams, The rain that would leave me without hope. Days in the sun were very few But each one was precious. Days in the sun were all the days that I spent with you. Untitled Do I not know The sound of each sigh? The feel of each touch? The scent of each flower? I am not of this world, Do I not walk on these roads, Am I not a man? So why will you not turn to me, When you are hurting? Why can you not love me The way I love you? Why do you not share your light with me And force me to dwell in darkness? Untitled I’ve loved for days And I’ve loved for months and years, But I have never loved forever For I was always meant to be with you And a cruel fate took you away from me Before I did ever have you. Untitled I would give my own life, My own soul, Just for one more moment With you. One moment That would fit the eternity I had hoped to spend with you. Untitled I go to sleep, and I think of you, I wake up in the morning, and I think of you, I laugh, and I think of you, I cry, and I think of you. I look at the stars Knowing that you are also looking At the same stars. I miss you And I need you, More than my next breath of air. But you have gone and left me, Because I didn't love you enough. But now I love you more than anything else in the world. But it is too late. You will not come back again And I will always know that I am to blame For you not being here with me. Broken Heart It has been a while since I have written, It has been a while since I have expressed myself, With the written word My joys and sorrows told. Now I do not write For my hands hurt, My hands hurt For my heart hurts, My heart hurts For you broke it. The Parting Darkness clouds my vision And I feel my body floating away. My essence is slowly leaving its mortal coil And I look upon all dear to me For the very last time. With my final breath I sigh your name And my eyes water with tears. For the life I’ve lived Happy I am, But for leaving you behind My heart does break. So ‘till we meet again my love, When I can be whole again, When you are in my arms again. For this moment I’d wait for an eternity. Untitled Who has loved But not been hurt? Who can say That they are in love, but not in pain? Love is pain For you give all of your love Expecting nothing in return But hoping for everything. Untitled The love I feel for you Could not be compared To all of the stars in the night sky. Untitled Every moment with you is magical And every moment apart from you is pure hell, And since you are no longer with me All I can feel is the burn of the flames. Untitled If I could sing, I’d sing your name. If I could paint, I’d paint the world in the colour of your soul. If I could fly I’d fly to the skies above and collect every star for you. If you asked me to lay down my life for you, Then without one moment’s hesitation I would And die with a smile upon my lips. Untitled My heart is on fire From the depth of my desire That your mere presence does inspire Making me believe that I could reach no higher Than the heaven I found in your arms. Untitled Twilight is upon us And midnight soon approaches But dawn is hours away And in those magical hours Between dusk and dawn I shall worship you in my arms And whisper to you Sweet nothings and heartfelt sighs.
