Heart

as I hold your hand
I sense
love and happiness..

as I hold your hand
your grip is firm, but yet
gentle and comforting..

holding your hand
my heart skips a beat
and you
sense it
and smile.

1986



>*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


my heart seeks
a gentle path
and a small bubbly stream

my mind seeks
a place to think
and a place to dream

my heart seeks rest
my mind seeks joy


1986


*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


alone now,
heart is heavy with hurt,..
counting my tears
and wondering when will
they stop.
alone,..
somewhere
happiness
awaits.


1987


*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


in the clouds
I see my dreams,
with the sun
I see your face,
with the rain
your memories come
back,
with the wind
it carries them away.

1987


*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


gone,
but still I feel
your warmth in my heart.


1988

*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


leave me alone
if you don't understand my
silence.
leave me alone
with my thoughts.
give me my moment,..
give me this time alone
to remember
a dream lost.


1989






*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


watching the sun set
I feel the tears coming on
the rains come and disguise them
clouds cover the light of the
moon,
which in the darkness hides
my sorrow.


1989

*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


I can't help
these tears from falling
I can't help
if your memory returns

I can't rush time.
I can't slow time.

I can only make time
for myself,
to mend my own heart.


1989

*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->*<->


no song is heard louder
then the beating of a happy heart.

no tear is shed faster
then that from a broken heart.
