AUTUMN SKIN

My beautiful lady with Autumn skin,

do not be ashamed

of the marks that time left upon you.

Look into the mirror.

You're still beautiful...

You're still fire...

burning with intense desire.

Your body once was Spring,

then Summer, now it's Fall.

But there's still passion

in your soul and body.

Your skin still gets

goosebumps when touched.

Look into the mirror once more,

you're beautiful...

you're fire... you're desire.

My beautiful lady with Autumn Skin.

MY BELOVED POET

I wasn't looking

when I found you,

I've been expecting

your arrival forever.

You've turned into

everything I wished

and wanted, always

bringing peace to my

hurt and tormented soul.

You turned my gray days

into colorful rainbows,

while each of your tender

words were tattooed deep

inside my impassioned heart.

You've caressed me without

touching me and your kisses

have returned my bright smile

and restored my faith in love.

FIND ME    V2

If one day you look for me

and you can't find me anymore,

look into the poems that I

wrote to you, you'll find me there.

Close your eyes and feel me,

as I left a piece of my soul

in every letter, in every word.

Look for me in a Dandelion

In a rainy day

In a pristine white rose

In a cloudy sky

In our beautiful full moon

In a thunderstorm

In our favorite song

In a crimson red dress

Find me in your dreams

Feel me in your coldest night

I will look for you

In a lonely night

In the core of my soul

In a golden star

In our favorite song

In the sound of the rain

In every tear I shed,

one by one until

there is no more,

no more you, no more I,

no more us.

I will go quietly without

interrupting your silence

If one day you remember me

and you can not find me

do not look for me anymore

this time I left to never return.

Perhaps our love will

fade like the words in

my old book of poems

I will always  treasure

our loving memories in

the shattered petals of

a pristine white rose.

STUMBLING

My world teeters

but I will not fall

I'm standing here

tall and proud

No matter what

life throws at me

I'm making my own path

with the stones

that I stumble on

Will not follow the crowd

My dreams could be

scattered by the wind

like pieces of a dandelion

But if I can touch a heart

with my words, if I can

make someone think

twice before they act,

then my work wasn't in vain.
