i saw your smile  in the eyes of someone
just crossing my road

and through the open door of her kind regard
i felt happiness

and universal love answering my desire
to discover the light in everything i see

my vocal salutation was answered by a friendly voice
and we continued our walk in different directions

what stayed was the clear perception
that i have received a gift with that look into your eyes

the sunlight of your smile made me know again
that everything is linked with everybody

and blissful bounds create themselves
within the hearts of loving creatures

Questioning a past relationship

Is it my right to ask you
To watch into your heart?
Can i try to unmask you?
And tell you to restart?

Can I really give ourselves
A second chance to try?
Is it still worth to delve
In castles built of sky?

What is our wish, what do we want?
What is our path to walk?
Would (if i ask you to) you grant
To leave your fears and talk?

Dinner in doubts

Is it a waste of time to think
That there’s still time that we can share?
I swallowed a bitter drink
The potion of your care

Is it a waste of tears to cry
If someone moved me like you?
Hard to resist, want to retry
The potion that you brew

Is it a waste of love to feel
For someone who resists?
We shared a very tasty meal
And hunger still exists

Is it a waste of breath to play
The flute for you if you don’t care?
There’s still some bread left on the tray
And still some food to share

Is it a waste of words to write
You poems from my deepest soul?
Come on, sit down and have a bite
And get a drink out of the bowl

Promises

You promised me much, not the stars, not the moon
But you promised me that we had time
Well, your patience was short and you broke very soon
What you promised, and I try now to put in a rhyme

What I feel, what I think about that
I don’t think that I should feel betrayed
But I still feel the impression that we possibly had
Resolved our troubles if you would have stayed

I want you to know that you’re special for me
And I still feel you deep in my heart
There is still lots of things that make me want to see
That our journey together is just at the start

You are free now from every promise you made
I understand that it was your deep inner choice
That you had to break up and to go through the gate
Which we opened inside and you followed the voice

Which was calling you back to your life
And which told you to listen again
I really thought we could be man and wife
But now I come back and I’m doing the same

I look back in my heart, I’m still feeling you there
But I try now to keep what I promised to you
Try to clean up myself, that’s the main thing to care
And that makes all our promises true

Carta de amor

Tu sabes tao bem como eu
Que te amo profundamente
Mas sabes também que nunca foste meu
Nunca quis por nenhuma corrente

Amarrar-te a mim e ficar contigo
Simplesmente para agradar o desejo
Sim, senti-me bem quando foste comigo
É sofrimento agora que já nao te vejo

Mas talvez por isso mesmo foi bem
E inteligente o teu afastar
Se estar sózinho nao me convém
Como podia estar capaz de amar

Qualquer pessoa fora de mim
Parece-me que sempre fica vaidoso
O amor que procura a por uma fim
Ao sofrimento tao doloroso

Da solidao, do silencio, do facto
Que o amante jamais consegui
De amar-se a si mesmo, e o pacto
Do casal é a fuga dali

Obrigado para teres me deixado
Despertaste este fogo em mim
Mesmo se ainda me sinto bem ao teu lado
Comeco a sentir que nao preciso de ti

Eu sou quem eu sou e tudo que quero
É estar feliz com quem sou
E neste assunto, sem exagero
Posso dizer que o nosso amor ajudou

Running for nothing

Faster and faster is turning the wheel
They’re running to conquer their race
I’m sorry, but running is not what i feel
I stop with a smile in my face

There is no reward and no treasure out here
That gives me the need to make haste
The treasure’s inside and I don’t need to fear
That patience is being a waste

I stop and I smile, but with tears in my eyes
When I watch the world running away
From the real, the only and worthiest price
The gift of loving and enjoying the day

Morte

Hoje de manha depois do acordar
Sonhei com os olhos abertos
E vi a morte se aproximar
Nunca senti-a tao perto

Silenciosamente ela olhou para mim
Ficou parada num canto, à observar
Em vez de ter medo senti dentro de mim
Que ela me consegui fascinar

Sem uso de palavras ela contou-me
A história que tinha de ouvir
Com a sua presencia aproximou-me
Daquilo que agora comeco a sentir

Nao sou eu mesmo, que tem de morrer
É aquele que estive no passado
O orgulhoso com a mente a correr
Que deixou os sentimentos ao lado

E muitas vezes ficou parado
E stagnado demais a pensar
Nao confiou que já tinha encontrado
Um pedaco daquilo que o fez procurar

E que este pedaco pediu a accao
Pediu a morte do frio pensar
E, sabendo que só com o poder do perdao
Conseguia de lá chegar

Enfrentei o caminho da morte
E deixei morrer com perdao
Estou farto de entregar-me a sorte
E sinto o destino na mao

Eu sou o pedreiro, tenho tudo na mao
Para construir o meu sonho a crescer
As ferramentas para aceitar a licao
E para esculpir o meu renascer
