it will all be ok…
your heart
exposed to the perilous space
which took your breath
led by that which
lures you into the current
you need
love directs your course
you know..
and it is no mistake
that you felt him looking at you
as if looking through
knowing all in an instant
that day
more than once
as if to say to you silently
yet directly
some day you will be mine

don’t
refuse to whisper words
on the page
in my ears
your secrets
to my heart
i’ll hear you
every inch
every touch
of a whisper
my heart
will always
sit there and listen

i feel you behind my eyes
and then i run from myself
i inhale you
but you run too
what are we running from?
will you let me feel 
what you’ve become
since then
and never question why…
it’s a chance we need to take
until i know you
don’t lose who you are
save a part for me

is it me
for a moment
who leads you?
are you looking for me now
inside
some way… without defining how?
did you know that
i sit next to you now
in the tiniest house of time?
who am i to lead you…
i don’t know
but it is happening
still

fly
to the place
where you are me
where you can be sure that
when you cry
i am there
with you
and will let your tears
seep into
my skin
you are precious
just the way you are
like no other
never forget…
i see you

be the lightning in me
that strikes relentless
wings outstretched
you speak to me
but what if i never see you
again as you are now
yet you have all-seeing ability
like a prophecy
i ride you now
like the wind and sun
the place in which we started
we continue
la façon dont nous avons commence
avons continuons
malgré tout,
tu as toujours aimé moi

hold on
open and true
only you know your power…
please don’t close yourself off
to the world
that works for you
in the shadows
unfolding something
magical
for you
you do not
want to miss it
look up into the sky tonight
it’s the place to leave your doubts
i’ll hold you up
in the first star you see

you exist
outside the river of time…
so do i
passing through the veil
to this place in my heart
a journey through
before finding the sun…
in me there is magic to this life
to realize the answers
because love survives
tattooed forever
as the one
who will find the way
forever enchanted
to eternity

the signs never cease
to tell me
still you are here.
i want you to tell me though
that you still want me here
because you are lost now
and i feel it.
do you want me to stand
in the fire with you
and be the moon that shines
on your path?
your path now is like
an answer for me
even as you take
the wrong path
to find the right
where you know who you are
never running.
i am done with our other journey
where you close
expecting me to open you.

she only wants him
to hear her
to feel her syllables
like a feather touching his skin
even for a second
so she keeps trying
for that triumph
why? because she loves him
what else can she do
but wait for his cocoon to open
on its own time
she cannot open it for him
though he secretly wishes she would
to free him of his prison
she knows its in the struggle that he grows
she can relax though
she gets forever afterall
because he walked into her dream with a purpose
to never leave

yearning to
watch time pass
without a sound
because
i know you
like a secret
hide with me
now in our covers
because
you are my love

unspoken words
speak above
emptying your soul
to me
but i know your secrets
i’m in you
the missing stone on your path
find me at the edge
near the bridge i see you on now
in the cold
you see me waiting
with your words
don’t ever change who you are

space
giving him
air to breathe
me, himself, us
the clouds will part
the moment he opens
again… when he cannot
imagine this life without me
when he forgives with no conditions
his wind will reach me and caress the back
of my neck… and will tell me “you will know, love,
when i am in the sky coming back to you… don’t worry”

i built you
to shield me from the world
with knights, dragons and swords
to fend for the delicate
precious
parts that lie inside
shadows…
dreams…
escape…
you kept me safe
so that i could go on my path
alone
although i owe you a lot
i no longer need you
i let the water
wash you away now
slowly it drips
so that i no longer have to pretend
that you
are stronger than me

balance on me
i’ll keep you up
until i pass through
the door
which lingers
yet i cannot see
catch me there
before i fall
into the sea

in my mind
i see much that is false
but when your light
ta lumière
shines upon me, upon you
like a star, étoile brillante
the false, the imprisoned
dissolves
and all that remains is
that which is authentic
and true
untouchable
the unbelievable truth…
look through the window,
my dear
this magic
detects only that which
can survive the darkest days
and nights
it removes the rest
leaving us with
all that we dreamed
to see the end, look at the beginning
it whispers to you
–>> remember us.
please use your light
t r u s t it…
to light our path
that we walk together
hand in hand
to light our soul that we built
with blind faith and two bottomless hearts ❤ <3.
