Eternal Love

 

You probably remember on a rainy day,

Our paths crossed for the first time.

Raindrops soaked us,

Our love started from that day!

 

We used to meet on that street every day.

There would be no anger, no sadness,

We thought that fate, our luck,

Smile at us, eternal love!

 

What happened in between remains a mystery.

Who said what, took the blame,

Doubt and fear struck our loving hearts,

Alas, eternal love is damaged!

 

We met again on that street,

At that time, at that promise,

The eyes are looking at the ground, in sadness,

See, eternal love did not endure!

 

We parted in the age of insatiable youth,

We wrote a new epic in the garden of love,

He lives in a dream, in a floating mirage,

Eternal love that enchants us!

 

Life's Rhythm

 

Life, a pulsating heart, ceaselessly beating,

Urgent like the hands of a clock, swift and fleeting,

Now weeping, now laughing, now in dreams retreating,

Taking life drops by drops from every being.

 

Desires wait in line with hopeful eyes,

The fox of time watches each moment that flies,

Underneath the ribbon, a hidden gaze lies,

The fragile sound's harmony in the air lies.

 

In the caravan of life, with many a traveler,

Wealth may empty, then fill, to savor,

Even if fate falters in the middle,

The camel in its stride plays the melody of belief.

 

Moon, Sun, mercy raining from the stars,

Respect from friends, advice from the czars,

Faithful devotion from the one who's ours,

Echoing in memories, ringing like guitars.

 

Mastering the dance with life's rhythm,

Emerging from the whirlwind, unscathed and grim,

Learning lessons from what you hear and see,

Facing heights, ascending triumphantly.

 

The sea's wave is singular, the river's turmoil is lone,

The mountain's volcano is one, the forest's lion is known,

Summer's warmth in the autumn's breeze is shown,

In every moment of its rhythm, life ages on.

 

Unforgettable Love

 

Love lived from afar to afar,

Like an angel sent from the divine,

Neglect it not, for someone's worth,

The beat of your heart, the breath in line.

 

Daytime's dream within your gaze,

Bestowing moonlight upon the night,

Should the dream fade, unheard it be,

A sigh of that moment, taking flight.

 

Love known in this world as ardor,

A matchstick tending a hidden flame,

Embers untouched, unburned by time,

Desires held close, their passions untamed.

 

Life written together with her by your side,

Both a reality and dreamscape combined,

When you find your place, cease to wander,

It's the honeyed voice you've longed to find!
