ROMANTIC MUSINGS: What… If…?
What dreams may come
If I look upon your face,
What nightmares might I fear
If you left without a trace
What comfort may I find
If I fell into your eyes,
What emptiness would I feel
If I looked upon the starless skies
What sweetness would I know
If your voice caressed my soul,
What silence would echo
Without you to make me whole
What instant would feel like forever
If my lips felt your kiss,
Would I be haunted by eternity
If you became the one I’d miss
What cloud would I be on
If we danced to your favorite song,
What storm would I endure
If the lyrics said you are moving on
What destiny may be written
If you pierced my heart with my pen and blade,
Would a goddess give up immortality
To be in love forever and a day.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Fantasy of Dreams
Let my lips touch you
As the rain kisses the skies,
Let my sight kiss you
As love is felt in the eyes
I’ll fall for you again
The way I fell for you before,
The secret in your heart
That leaves you wanting more
I’ll caress you from a distance
As thoughts massage your dreams,
Let me be your fantasy
And make love what it seems
Maybe an illusion
Maybe what you need,
Maybe I’ll hide in your shadows
As the poet your heart will bleed
Think of me at night
When you fall asleep,
Simply hold me tight
As your memory to keep
No te olvidaré
Cuando hablo con los dioses,
Los convenceré
Que eres mía entonces
If only for the moment
Cuando empiezo a soñar,
Les diré ahora que con mis pensamientos
Eres tu quien quiero tocar!
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: If… Then…
If catching your eyes
Is like catching a star,
Then I’ll gaze at the skies
To be right where you are
If being at your side
Is like being in a song,
Then I’ll memorize the melody
And begin to sing along
If being in your arms
Is like being in a dream,
Then I shall never wake
From the realm of thoughts in stream
If hearing your whisper
Is like standing in the rain,
Then I’ll dance without an umbrella
And let them say I’ve gone insane
If tasting your lips
Is like coming back to life,
Then I’ll die a thousand deaths
For that kiss of man and wife
If caressing your hair
Is like touching the gods,
Then I’ll reach for heaven
And defy all the odds
Because if being your one
Means breaking my heart in two,
Then I’ll endure the devastating heartbreak
That proves my love is true.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Would It Be Enough?
Would it be enough
To see her in your dreams,
That glimpse into heaven
Where destiny is what it seems
Each second is a lifetime
You endure without a breath,
Love will last until the last
Beyond the reach of death…
Would it be enough
To have her in your embrace,
Holding your reason for breathing
Exhale, and she will leave without a trace
If she whispered your name
Would you catch her with your heart,
Guard her as your best kept secret
To never be apart…
Would it be enough
To lose yourself in her gaze,
To fall into the realm of her thoughts
And navigate her maze
Rush not to find her heart
Fret not that you’ll miss your fate,
In time you will discover
That she was worth the wait…
Would it be enough
To know you fell in love,
And you lived as many lifetimes
As there are the stars above
And whenever each star falls
Pulling away from the skies,
Would it be enough
To know that it is only for love
That even the strongest man cries.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Love Is Like Rain
Memories of you
Are like raindrops of forever,
So I sing and I dance
In this perfect weather
I don’t need an umbrella
I won’t search for the sun,
Because I wasn’t looking for love
When I found that you are the one
It rains in the morning
And it rains in the night,
You are the perfect storm
That has made all the wrong things right
If I dreamt you into life
Then I’ll sleep to dream of you again,
I’ll fall into an eternal slumber
If it means I’ll fall in love with my best friend
I’ll fall just like the raindrops
A millions times–never the same way twice,
I’ll fall deeper than hell
And pay the ultimate price
I’ll fall just like the angels
For you–I’ll sacrifice my wings,
Your demon of desire
The passion for which your heart sings
And if forever is not enough
Then I’ll find another way,
To fall under your spell again
And dream about you forever and a day.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: If I Could
If I could play the piano
I would compose a ballad for you,
I’d bring heaven to tears
And dance with you in the rain…
If I could touch the stars
I would catch the one that fell for you,
I’d present it to you
And show you where destiny wrote my name…
If I could talk to the gods
In the language of the Fates,
I’d ask your sister Aphrodite
To intervene on my behalf…
If I could live on the edge
I would take the chance to die another day,
Even if that meant
I would incur God’s wrath…
If I could see in the dark
I’d search for your beauty between galaxies,
I’d find where heaven lost you
And hide you in the realm of my heart…
If I could write a poem with numbers
I’d calculate the equation where you and I are one,
In the language of the universe
There would be no division to keep us apart.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Your Dreams and Mine
I want to know your dreams
And the story behind your name,
I wish to understand your heart
And be the one to kiss away your pain
I want to wake up and kiss you
As we drift away from the stars,
I want to follow you into forever
Just to be where you are
I want to be in your thoughts
When there is a smile on your face,
I want to be your in-love
And in the comfort of your embrace
I want to be in your laughter
And be the one to kiss away your tears,
I want to be your strength
When you need to face your fears
I want to be your happiness
I need to be the hope behind your vow,
I have to experience your forever
And I long to be with you now
I hope to be the one you remember
When you forget what love is supposed to mean,
I pray my name lingers in your whisper
When you fall asleep and dream.
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: My World
If I saw heaven in my dreams
Would you be my angel,
I’m a demon without hell
In the mirror I see a stranger
I no longer recognize
The man I used to be,
Perhaps that’s for the best
And for you – I have become
The best version of me…
The hopeless romantic
Who had lost hope in love,
Looks on with new hope
At the stars high above
Let them fall into my lap
As you gaze up at me,
I’ll run my fingers through your hair
As I relay to you
How I hope things will be…
Let every star represent
Each moment between us,
Let us gather the galaxies
Let us do this just because
You could be my moon and stars
You could be my girl,
If I saw a planet in my dreams
Would you be my world?
ROMANTIC MUSINGS: Story Book Romance
There was a time
When—for inspiration—I would sit and hark,
Trying to find the words
Was like searching for shadows in the dark
Somehow things have changed
It all started with your smile,
I need only sit in silence
For less than a little while
In these peaceful moments
Where I cling to the realm of sleep,
I dare not open my eyes
For it is you I may no longer get to keep
Yet you linger in my thoughts
Dancing at the foot of my mountain,
My muse at the waterfall
You bring the youth to my fountain
I drink from the waters
Of my imagination,
I savor the flavor
As you prepare the pagination
Your smile started the story
With the sunrise in your eyes—a look,
Until I close my eyes that final time
You may yet become my favorite book!
