The Gleam (2013)

Have you met them, the ones with the gleam in their eye?
There is something about them that cannot be told:
They live in the world, but they dwell in the sky,
Their bodies decline, but they never grow old.
They suffer like us, and like us they will cry
When the pain is too much, they are cowards and bold;
They are like us except for that gleam in their eye
That tells of a power that nothing can hold.
They are seekers in spite of their many mistakes,
And their faith perseveres through their follies and doubts,
For they trust that no matter the time that it takes
To explore all the infinite possible routes,
They will find it: their path, with the very same gleam
That shines like the stars in their eyes when they dream.

Come With Me (2013)

Come with me, loveliest, come, come with me,
And the path we will journey shall swiftly appear.
Beyond the horizon we both shall be free:

I have seen it in dreams from across the sea
That rings us with sleep when darkness draws near,
So come with me, loveliest, come, come with me

To a place where souls are content just to be
With each other, where in loving their spirits cohere.
Beyond the horizon we both shall be free.

The future is shrouded, but the heart can still see,
And will whisper deep truths in a trusting ear,
So come with me, loveliest, come, come with me.

We only live once, by some mystic decree,
So why not live happily instead of in fear?
Beyond the horizon we both shall be free!

We’ll suffer and sorrow, but together we’ll be,
For nothing else matters as long as you’re near.
Beyond the horizon we both shall be free,
So come with me, loveliest, come, come with me.

Journeys End (2013)

Journeys end and  journeys begin:
My fantasy, now my woe,
And how I wish it were not so –
I wish that you were mine to win!
Visions, instead, of Eden weep from my pen.
Loveliest girl, I proclaim it by all that’s sublime:
Eternity with you would not be too much time.
