No One Else
There is no one else I care to love
I had one to show that it’s true
After you, nothing left to prove
The only love here I found in you.
What are the rest of my days for?
To go on without what makes them real?
I will always look for something more
For that one where love can feel.
But, this I am left with now you are gone
A life, without you, no purpose knows
In your arms, instead, should belong
This is where my happiness grows.
There is no one else to take your place
Why, then, am I left without you here?
Except another empty day to face
Emptier each day you don’t appear.

Life but a Dream
I dreamt about you last night
Again, what this world denies dreams make true
Showing that this place never out of your sight
And what it hides in another realm find you.
And this dream stirred me to reach you here
When you answered that dream became real
So, the border between us should not fear
For the permanency of our love reveal.
And life is but a dream the bard does tell
So, your beauty both realms transcend
For when your love in my heart does dwell
Our passion to Heaven’s home will send.
After you replied I knew dreams understand
I had to call you to complete the connection
For our love has made its stand
That no place can deny our affection.
So, tonight, I hope you come one more time
We can, from here, finally leave it all behind
For life’s dream can still live in this rhyme
And our love in Heaven’s home forever find.

Not the One
I won’t be able to wait for your love
You are too young for me
This world can only prove
We weren’t to be.
But you are here I cannot deny
But you will find another’s arms
For the lucky one by your side lie
I am not the one for your charms.
I know I can see your beauty
And how much it will grow
But it is not meant for me
It is for another to know.
Your future is bright, that is true
My last embers are dying
You hold the last before I am through
Sad, to leave while your life beginning.
But you know where I must go
To my true love who calls
And this you so tenderly know
While another for your beauty falls.

Your Love All I Need
There is only one person this verse belongs to
Or an empty page this would be
These simple lines are dedicated to you
And your beauty through them the world will see.
You are the reason poets, their lofty lines, write
Why the artists, their canvas, with beauty, fill
Why the dreamers long for the starry night
To find the source of all, here, wonderful.
You are the reason my dreams are so sweet
For in them our love does still passionately live
And why the morning without you incomplete
So, I fill in these lines so more life to you can give.
You are the reason an emperor seeks the throne
Why the mariner seeks no greater treasure
For without your love his Kingdom alone
Without it the mariner no wealth could measure.
So, I write these humble lines only for your love
And will leave to others if, in this, they succeed
If nothing else, at least they will here prove
Your love on this Earth all I ever did need.

Living World
I walked passed a glittering stone one day
Attracted to it, I picked it up and held it in my hand
Away from the light the glitter went away
My stone was only a jewel if under the sun stand.
And so, I held it in the sun's direction
So, this plain stone a jewel could be
Perhaps this is like our affection
Only when the light is right our love can see.
And then I laid this store back onto the ground
So, when its light was right, attract other passersby
The sun must have been kind when this stone I found
Or else another plain stone I would have walked on by.
And is not love what we find when the sun shine?
Or like that stone, nothing special will appear?
It is only in this living world you can be mine
And under its sun's light our love found here.

Love Need Not Learn
I saw you again and could see it in your eyes
There is something beyond the bounds of propriety
What world will it be to have the one I prize?
I have to take the one where you're next to me.
Young spirit, you have so much, yet, to live
My spark is flickering onto its last light
You have so much love to give
Your day is beginning, mine headed to the night.
But, I am flattered by your affection
I’d be lying that mine will not return
Love brought you in my direction
And what is right love need not learn.

I Stared at the Sky
I stared at the sky last night
Thought that among the stars would find you
But such beauty was nowhere in Heaven’s sight
And despite the stars’ brilliance, only darkness knew.
Today, the first day, what will this new year bring?
Despite the world’s riches, missing its greatest treasure
And with each passing day still nothing
For this world, to me, by love its worth measure.
But isn't that your spirit That the bushes move?
Isn’t that your voice the birds bring to their song?
What makes me continue only your love prove
So that, one day, reunited with me belong.
Isn’t that your spirit that fills the air?
That gives the rose its beauty?
For past your love nothing more fair
Or more beautiful than when you're with me.

Our Seasons Told
Winter is here but the cold is at bay
There is something warm in the air
That all feel when standing in her way
Where even winter’s cold turns fair.
The clouds come bearing, not snow, but rain
There is a goddess that's waiting below
So what falls knows no icy strain
In her arms winter’s kinder part know.
When night comes, still she sees the moon
For the darkness will never be as her love deep
But in her light the dark will swoon
Succumbing to the love her soul does keep.
When Spring arrives, you will hardly tell
For the ground never did turn truly cold
For the sweetness that underneath dwell
And in her love's tongue our seasons told.

Beautiful Christmas
What a beautiful Christmas with my family
That is what this world about
And you, once again, so close to me
That love rules, I should have no doubt.
What a beautiful day
Christ, this is what you tried to show
In the footsteps of peace find a better way
All from these steps can grow
To keep evil far and let goodness stay.
Does Heaven know that this angel is here?
I saw her tonight and I know It’s true
And if in her arms, there is nothing I need fear
Tonight, that was reaffirmed seeing you.
So, my memories of this day will last
When love proves It can never be deterred
And when you find it hold it fast
For from love is all on this Earth stirred.

Heaven’s Angels
I am surrounded by beauty if only I can see
They are there waiting to end my sorrow
Telling me that from it can be free
So I don’t have to fear tomorrow.
I only have to look up and realize
What any other man would his world trade
For a glimpse into their eyes
And learn how Heaven on Earth made.
And this it, Heaven its angels sent here
To show me how my sadness passing
And in all their beauty to me appear
Shouldn’t my sadness give way to their blessing?
Except can I these angels here hold
Why tempt me to leave unfulfilled?
Enough doubt, love is always bold
They are here bringing joy so my heart filled.
And they are what my heart needs so much
Though apart still from my life not far away
As this world tempts me with their touch
So, Heaven’s angels here with me would stay,

Your Love
I walked down this unbeaten road
Here my thoughts were so free
I listened as the trees their stories told
That there was so much more to see.
For past my solitude this world did wait
To show me what my heart could find
And that I must go before it's too late
So I left leaving this road and my loneliness behind.
And life’s sweeping currents picked up the conversation
Telling me that past its borders its true meaning know
For what is most valuable the one showing me affection
And in her arms this lesson will passionately show.
So I found that one that proved what whispered true
And the wisdom of that lonely road prove
For from my world’s solitude found you
And your love that makes my world move.

I Need Your Love
Like flowers the Sunlight's succor need to abide
So that their beauty, now nourished, show
Like oceans find the moon first rule their tide
I need your love or only emptiness know.
Like stars Heaven’s light first need to find
So, when they shine point to another realm divine
Like mountains the sky so their majesty can unwind
I need your love so all on Earth is fine.
Like the day needs the night so it can sleep
And all that gives it life can gently rest
So now the morning its promises can keep
I need your love so that to my happiness attest.
Like a rainbow whose radiance fed by the sun
So, the rain satisfied with that which gave it birth
On this earth, to me, you are that one
Whose love the measure of my life’s worth.

So Sweet
Why does someone so young and sweet come to me?
You have your life ahead and so many guys lucky to have you
I guess it comes down to chemistry
Love from logic and propriety never grew.
Yes, there is some magic to you, I see it in your eyes
I know in your life you will go very far
What you see in me is hard to realize
Look at me as one who smiles on you as a guiding star.
But, I am flattered by your sweet attention
Have to admit this is hard to resist
The feelings from one showing me such affection
Something that I have missed.
I will savor the moments that I feel
And will be here to make you happy
This is something I can't conceal
To be a part of your budding beauty.

Take This Chance
I got to write fast, got no time
And can’t count on tomorrow
So, I will let my dreams make you mine
Don’t care if not there in the morrow.
When you were with me wasn’t it an illusion?
Because gone now, everything blurry
And surrounded by confusion
Like your body was never next to me.
So, I will take my dreams tonight
It won’t matter tomorrow you are gone
For you will be as real in my sight
As you were once here, but now for you long.
I gotta stake everything on this one last chance
That past Earth's bonds see you again
I will take any place for our romance
Than wake up to this pain.

Heaven’s Gate
Having survived the day until dreams the night reveal
Where I can live again seeing you
And in them our love can feel
The morning brings only memories have to get through.
So, what does it say of my life depending on the night?
That I can't wait to run for its escape
And what shall I say of the morning light?
That stirs all else but my heart still can’t drape.
So, this is the place I must live in that’s empty
Looking for its dreams where your love does wait
Until that final night when beyond this place you see
In the full light when I pass Heaven's gate.

Each New Day
You can never leave your love behind
Any more than the sun can leave the day
For love is that light that leaves me to find
Your love’s light that helps me find my way,
And you may think love you now have lost
But morning comes and she is here
For love is too good for my life to cost
Because in my life you did appear.
For why would I see another sunrise
If you I never, again, would see?
It continues because your essence here lives
Even though you left, not your love for me.
Love is eternal, its power to this place extends
This world goes on because through it move
So that each day assured for its spirit lends
And each new day your love does prove.

I Am Fine
I am alone but am fine
Like that solitary star that's still a guide
Once complete when you were mine
Still, I am glad you were once by my side.
Now I go ahead and I don't care
Isn’t life sweet still?
Shouldn’t I another love dare
If only I possess the will?
Life is still good, this must believe
And each day should appreciate
I am so glad sadness can't conceive
Only instead, my gratitude can’t wait.
And I shouldn’t worry about reminders of you
Even though they are everywhere
My new outlook should get me through
And for someone new can care.
So, I should forget those pictures I keep
They are of another life I have left behind
But, excuse me if I see them weep
I guess a moment of weakness find.
Those places we went, I can without you deal
Oh, look, isn’t she sweet?
While you are gone this one is real
Why can’t she make my life complete?
So, I am not like the sun that can’t forget the day
Or the moon that can’t forget the night
I am a man another woman can show his way
And in her arms set this world right.
I am not like the ocean that can’t forget the shore
Or the rainbow the sun’s rays need not feed
Or the Robin the air won’t let her chords soar
I only look for the love that in my life need.
And that has already proved how quickly it can go
So, I should get over its loss for not here long
And while this world its permanent laws know
I have learned to one can’t permanently belong.
So, it should be easy to forget the love we had
And while all else continues why not love?
If not for the one I lost for someone new?
Then that love is not everlasting prove.
Except I can still look upon that Northern star
That can guide me to where your love gives
And, looking up, realize from it you are not far
And whatever here points to where true love lives.

In That Place
And with the autumn winds the boughs are bare
Where once the birds did sing
Their melodies most sweet when you were there
Now this world only the winter bring.
And where warmth was soon only cold
Where roses ruled a barren ground their home trace
And even colder for your hand cannot hold
Where our love once shone winter had no place.
Now I am faced with an empty destiny
Trying to find some solace in this season
But that could only occur if you were with me
Without you I will struggle for a reason.
Now I am only here waiting for the first flakes to fall
When before we watched the morning sun rise
While through the din of life wait for you to call
If not here in that place that hears my cries.

A Few Hours
What wind blowing is that disturbing the air?
Without it the day would be kind
Soon I see the darkness everywhere
Now from its warmth refuge need to find.
And how did this darkness encroach upon the day
Isn’t there enough time for it at night?
For when night comes the light holds it at bay
So that what once clear no longer in sight.
Now I must see if the day returns tomorrow
And the threatening wind doesn’t blow
So the darkness day's rules will follow
And, at least, a few hours of happiness know.

Back to the Beginning
It has been a long and winding road, it is true
Enjoying the good, suffering the bad
Most of all, traveling the rest of the way without you
But, for the moments together, should be glad.
And I find there is good and bad everywhere
It is up to me to see the larger picture
For whatever wrong only for what's good care
Now, without you I must, in my faith, be sure.
And what’s left of my journey a new path take
Back to the beginning and, finally, back home in Boston
Knowing I will continue as your love won't forsake
And for that, alone, my journey has reason.

My Heart Costs
Every day is a struggle to survive
Alienation is my best friend
I know I won't get out of this alive
So, I know how my story will end.
I don’t pay attention to what's happening
I tune the discordant sounds out
Once, all my fervor to a cause would bring
Now, I don’t care what it’s all about.
This is the way I look at our society
Learning I was never a part
Whether philosophy or sophistry
No more in their conflict take part.
I was always on the outside looking in
I am better off knowing my place
For whatever happens I cannot win
What’s left of my soul fills this space.
The one who made life worthwhile is gone
So, left with only these sobering thoughts
Now past this place with her belong
What purpose left, losing her, my heart costs.

Paradise to Me
I thought I told you how much I love you
While the sun was smiling over our love
And the moon lent its romantic rays as it knew
For our love is why the universe move.
But as many times I told you maybe needed one more
To keep you here and Heaven only envy
But, as much as Heaven called I needed you more
For on Earth you were paradise to me.
And the love we had in itself is divine
And this earthly paradise our happiness promised
Which can only happen if you are mine
And its stars shone brightest when we kissed.
I only need to let you know I love you so Heaven hear
And the sun and the moon will have to agree
That love so strong should have kept you near
So, to my arms Heaven will have to set you free.

In My Life
There are places that I go
Some the same, some are new
But wherever I end up I know
The best place is where I met you.
There are people I met, some forget, some remember
But each one a special part my heart did fill
Times too soon gone, some seeming to last forever
But, you are the one that stirs my heart still.
Of all my sweet memories you still rise above
Beyond life’s best moments most treasure
For in my life only you show me true love
And from this my happiness best measure.
And I will remember those here and who have gone
Their memories will always be preserved indelibly
But there is one to which my heart will always belong
In my life, you will always mean the most to me.

Harbor
Your love is this world’s anchor
So that with its waves I can still hold on
Swept away by love's fervor
So through uncertainty I can go on.
And if my ship submerged your buoy see
And my last breaths trying to reach you
While the rest of the world knows tranquility
It is only by finding you that I get through.
Because you will always be my guiding star
Even though, below, I am lost in the night
But wherever your love is can never be far
Heaven or Earth can’t keep you from my sight.
And the cosmic seas in their home turn
But your love an island they can’t cover
As long as in my heart for you yearn
Our love will prove the best harbor.

Best Bring
I walked upon this road and heard this bird's sweet song
Suddenly I realized that I wasn’t the only one
For with each note I learned to this world belong
And away from it can never truly run.
Even finding my way across the most distant sea
I can look up and see a guiding star
Beckoning me back to humanity
For despite the ocean around never far.
For there is a mortal bond we can’t break
From here are born and together from it will go
And this can be a paradise we make
So, no other we need to know.
Then we don’t have to worry about any Hell
For our promise we have prized
Not caring for any after world we dwell
For harmony, here, have realized.
When I travel down that road once more
I will know what that bird sings
We can all aim for Heaven’s door
But it is on Earth its home best brings.

Never Question
Reaching out to you is so hard to do
Even though I should know our affection share
Still, every time reaching you is new
And trying to attract you again must dare.
Emotions are never settled
But, like the oceans’ web and flow
Even love’s power is unsettled
For I have to hope to my shore you go.
And where the sun casts its last ray
And where the morning holds its promise
I should know this where your love stay
All uncertainty gone with your kiss.
Where emperor's stake their kingdom
And artists their craft and poets their line
They use their power in the wish you come
No more than my heart that wants you mine.
But isn’t life, with this doubt, more interesting?
Even though I should know how you feel?
Yet love is above any guessing
And I should never question it is real.

Only Guarantee
And, so, this is the last night here
Tomorrow back to the routine
I guess you didn’t appear
But you can see me in this line.
.
And what’s left of my world waiting
Oh, so hard to leave serenity behind
But, I feel, past this peace, something hiding
Serenity not the only thing I needed to find.
Sometimes there is even trouble in paradise
Believing from the tumult far away
Bu didn’t even catch a glimpse of your eyes
Without this angel no reason to stay.
To face a world where my sadness guaranteed
At least here I had my respite
I found my solace but not what I need
The only certainty you will not be in sight.

Someone I Yearn
What’s worse than an empty page a writer can’t fill
Or a canvas a painter can’t paint?
Without inspiration not a single word or stroke spill
And all the skill without it to these can’t acquaint.
What’s worse than a morning without the sun
Or an ocean without the shore?
Without the spirit behind it can’t run
For without purpose nothing more.
How would the day be without a bird's song
Or at night without the stars that shine?
Without my soul this melody doesn’t belong
And all this beauty comes to life when you are mine.
What’s worse than leaving this life without love
Like this world that for no reason turn?
All that I experience only your love prove
And life only worthwhile for someone I yearn.
