(A poem dedicated to the SERVIEN CHRISTI MARIAE ’08)
I started a journey where I know not where it is bound
A path I followed where there is no return
Open fields keep its secret
Ignorant from the dangers of my travel
Blooming flowers lead my way
Warmth of the sunshine fills my heart with joy
In bed of roses I lay me down
Paradise Is where I am now
I run towards the horizon so free
Stumbling into a single stone which has caused me so much pain
Clouds have darkened my path
my meadows have gone dry
I look up to the angry skies
thus it strikes my soul with fear
I cry and kneel for help
Blue rain pours upon my shoulders
I continue along the dead meadow
Stones turned into rocks, rocks turned into boulders
Into a barren wasteland I have fallen, I cannot go back anymore
Still, blue rain continues to fill my heart with sorrow
I search for a place where I may rest
Yet, there is no sanctuary left for a torn flesh
Tears I shed for the sake of mercy
No one can hear as my soul moans for pity.
Alas! I am so near my destiny
But still the blue rain drowns me in misery
With pride I held my head up high
My faith I hold in my heart
I close my eyes and pursue my quest
Heaven whispers to keep me strong
Slowly I drag my feet in the dusty road
Believing that my troubles will end
Along I go, in the path I have chosen
As I felt the soft cool grass brushing my feet
I opened my eyes with such amaze
Rain that had once made me blue, Now has made my meadows green

BETTER THAN GOLD
I may not have gold
Yet I have someone when I become old
I may not reach the rainbows end
Yet I am here with you my friend
Yet I have someone when I become old
I may not reach the rainbows end
Yet I am here with you my friend
JUST ONE
It took me one week to see the real you
It took me one moment to know that you were true
One night to confess beneath the stars
One kiss to bring the warmth of mars
One episode that got us into one path
One equation more clear than math
One vow to get things done
Is this the end or have we just begun?
Alone in my corner, one thing missing
Deny if I must, but my heart is still aching
With loneliness you hide your passion
Each one disguising our own action
One chapter has brought us together
One wish to stay like this forever
One more day I ask to be with you
One more time to caress your hair, and whisper “Darling I love you”
One poem, One song
One more chance, I cannot go wrong
One heart, One soul
One more chance to become whole
One kingdom, One throne
One love forever, and one love alone
One lifetime, One you
“Darling, forever me and you”
It took me one moment to know that you were true
One night to confess beneath the stars
One kiss to bring the warmth of mars
One episode that got us into one path
One equation more clear than math
One vow to get things done
Is this the end or have we just begun?
Alone in my corner, one thing missing
Deny if I must, but my heart is still aching
With loneliness you hide your passion
Each one disguising our own action
One chapter has brought us together
One wish to stay like this forever
One more day I ask to be with you
One more time to caress your hair, and whisper “Darling I love you”
One poem, One song
One more chance, I cannot go wrong
One heart, One soul
One more chance to become whole
One kingdom, One throne
One love forever, and one love alone
One lifetime, One you
“Darling, forever me and you”
A LOVER AND A FRIEND
A lover wants to be with you
But a friend doesn’t want to leave you
A lover wants to befriend you
But a friend already loves you
A lover is inspired by your strength
Only a friend understands your weakness
A lover makes you smile
A friend makes you laugh
A lover makes your heart whole
A friend uplifts your soul
A lover’s love is inspiring
A friend’s love is everlasting
Am I your lover or am I your friend?
A question to be answered as such…
Nothing more, nothing less,
I am just a friend who loves you very much!
But a friend doesn’t want to leave you
A lover wants to befriend you
But a friend already loves you
A lover is inspired by your strength
Only a friend understands your weakness
A lover makes you smile
A friend makes you laugh
A lover makes your heart whole
A friend uplifts your soul
A lover’s love is inspiring
A friend’s love is everlasting
Am I your lover or am I your friend?
A question to be answered as such…
Nothing more, nothing less,
I am just a friend who loves you very much!
SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR
I know, I feel, hard to deny what is real...
We laugh, we cry, we really don't know why...
You are to me, I am to you,
for heaven's sake, I cannot tell you what is true,
You are at night the shooting star,
so close, so near, yet you seem to be so far
We laugh, we cry, we really don't know why...
You are to me, I am to you,
for heaven's sake, I cannot tell you what is true,
You are at night the shooting star,
so close, so near, yet you seem to be so far
HOT WATER
I sit quietly in my chamber
So down, so tired as far as I can remember
Test me not nor chain me forever
Time shall come, I shall burn you with my temper
So down, so tired as far as I can remember
Test me not nor chain me forever
Time shall come, I shall burn you with my temper
FREE SPIRITED
I fly beyond the wonders of this earth
To be what I want to be, and what I am worth
I glide to the call of fantasy
Forgetting the troubles of reality
To be what I want to be, and what I am worth
I glide to the call of fantasy
Forgetting the troubles of reality
GRADUATION
For so long a time I watched heroes take their place
praises to them as they take their honor
I shout with the crowd to such full amaze
Seeing them so full of joy at their final hour
I grovel at the feet of giants
Whose steps leave a mark of victory
Spirits of survivors and combatants
Whose works were done so perfectly
I fall behind and tear a lot
For I am not as strong as them
my place is cold and such a weak spot
yet only in my dreams I see the gem.
Time has passed and kept me strong
Holding on to that lasting goal
This time for sure I cannot go wrong
To climb the highest golden pole
The winds have whispered the challenge
My soul is ready , never to drop
But even so, neither anger nor revenge
Will ever be the cause to make me stop
And so the victor’s drum has struck
On the stage of glory where I stand now
It is all God Bless and Good Luck
With My coat, My cap, I take my final bow.

SHADOW
In the light I brag about my power and pride,
behind the shadows I quiver and hide
You see me with strength and passion,
like a movie with full of action…
but you do not know the hidden secrets… how deep and how tender
the mystery and drama of this great pretender
and now you appear into my life, and made the sun shine
out of the dark I could not believe, how I wish you would be mine
I cannot say it, still I have to hide it
So close you are to me, and yet I cannot break it
Yet I could see you, looking at our shadows so true
You try to deny it, so clear you cannot admit it, I, your shadow embracing you
So hard I want you, a little more then I would die for you
But you cannot feel my heart beating, so you still look for another shadow to love you
As you choose him to be yours, leaving me with all sores....my dear I will give way, like a shadow I will still follow you throughout the day
and as you leave me, you will never see me drop a tear…as you turn around, I become your shadow, fading, dying and slowly will disappear.

ALONE
Like a stallion I race to the sunset
raging the windstorms off to my best bet
leading the flock towards victory
carving the walls to tell my story
Night comes and covers it all like a shadow
Here I wait in the whistling sounds of the meadow
The sound of silence slowly crosses my way
Alone, I stumble to reach the light of day
Along with the crowd I mingle to paint the clouds with joy
Like a child who enjoys the essence of a beautiful toy
Rain comes and lightning strikes without fear
Alone again I walk in the valley with a rolling tear.
Howling like the wolf in the deep blue sky
Blazing like a hawk as quiet as a sigh
As powerful as the ray of the sun so wide
Alone I fall with my pains inside
Invincible to the armies of war
With my shining armor I seize the day like a shooting star
Defeating the perils of ancient Rome
At the end of the day …I still walk home alone.

PERSEVERANCE
The world is black and pulling you down
All is lost, failure is painting your town
Though you try , there is no progress
All is lost, failure is painting your town
Though you try , there is no progress
blundered into the mist, you are full of stress
You are tired, weary, and dying
Broken into pieces, moaning and crying
If you stop here, then you will be rotten
And all the things you have done will be forgotten
But as long as you hold on
And learn to be tough and to be strong
These pains will go on slow
Giving you another chance to grow
Life does not end where your failures start to begin
It depends upon your will and perseverance from within
For it is not measured how fast you may reach your destiny
But thus, how long you can fight to finish the journey
You are tired, weary, and dying
Broken into pieces, moaning and crying
If you stop here, then you will be rotten
And all the things you have done will be forgotten
But as long as you hold on
And learn to be tough and to be strong
These pains will go on slow
Giving you another chance to grow
Life does not end where your failures start to begin
It depends upon your will and perseverance from within
For it is not measured how fast you may reach your destiny
But thus, how long you can fight to finish the journey
GOOD NIGHT
Stars of north and stars of south…
listen to words that come from my mouth
keep my friend warm and tight
safe and sound and a blessed goodnight
listen to words that come from my mouth
keep my friend warm and tight
safe and sound and a blessed goodnight
Tears in Rain
A drop of rain,
a drop of pain...
thunder mask my crushing heart,
so no one will hear it shattering apart...
shower my face let no one near,
to see my face with a rolling tear
a drop of pain...
thunder mask my crushing heart,
so no one will hear it shattering apart...
shower my face let no one near,
to see my face with a rolling tear
