REACH
tonight I ask you to reach for the stars
slowly touch and feeling their dust
the warmth of my love
look around and see
how the moon shines on you as it does on me
you will know when you do this
how great my love for you is
and how since you are away
my being will cease to be......
Reach and feel my heart
that beats in unison with yours
reach and touch my soul
and grasp the essence of me
Reach towards the universe
that is where I will be
waiting for you ,
your touch, your heart.........

MAGIC
Magically last night
I saw myself on the beach
A bonfire was wild,
Music, drums and rhythm…
Coming from the hill
A magic woman, a mirage,
Dancing around and around
Her spell overtakes everyone
Sparks and flames swirl in the wind
Her dance is so mesmerizing….
Men fall at her feet
She dances and dances…
Music and rhythm are faster and faster
Most follow this magic….
Men’s souls die in the effort
My soul died then too……..

SPRINGTIME
Canadian geese flew by this morning
Their voices announced to me
A new spring , they are going back home,
New hopes of life !
Although foggy, birds are chirping again
Sun is up and reddish horizon I see,
Warmer feelings in my heart
Still waiting for you…….
My sails lazily flutter,
I am ready for the rest of this journey
Carrying my precious gift,
Your heart, your soul and love for me
This voyage has been arduous
More gray days might come ahead
But our love and strength
Will keep us together despite all…..
It is our time in this planet
The moon and the stars tell me
We will be happy and live peaceful lives
Forever , you and me……….

THIS PAIN
My heart and soul bleed and bleed
They have for a long time
Because of my life, my memories,
It keeps hurting to live….
Since this keeps me alive
While aware of you and me
I ask the heavens
To allow this wound not to close
Although time has gone by
And many seas my ship has sailed
This pain still lives with me
Continues to be…….to be
I grasp my soul
Questioning my self
What should I do?
I chose to live with this pain,
For you, forever …………….
Alvaro
