I Haven’t Changed

January 6, 2025

I haven’t changed

I am still that strange young man

who was singing love songs to you

who was inventing sundays for you

who was making you travel…

I haven’t changed

I am still that guy a little bit mad

who used to tell you about America

but he wasn’t rich enough

to take you to Corfu

And you haven’t changed either

still the same light perfume

still the same little smile

who said so much without actually saying a thing.

No, you haven’t changed either

I wanted to protect you

to look after you, to belong to you

I wanted to come back to you.

Close To You

August 3, 2024

When days are grey and lonely
No loving arms to hold you
Then if you reach out your hand
Remember that I’m your friend
Whenever you’ve lost your way
I’ll be close to you always

Every time when you hear this song
There’s is love to be found
I’ll be your friend
Right till the end
If your heart is in pain
There’s no need to complain
You just whisper my name

One step, one far, one farther
Won’t take away its shoulder
If I will hold on to dreams
Life ain’t always what it seems
When you need some helping hand
I’ll be close to you

You’re the Devil in Disguise

July 9, 2024

You look like an angel (look like an angel)Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)Talk like an angelBut I got wise

You’re the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise

You fooled me with your kissesYou cheated and you schemedHeaven knows how you lied to meYou’re not the way you seemed

I thought that I was in heavenBut I was sure surprisedHeaven help me, I didn’t seeThe devil in your eyes

You’re the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise

Love’s Silence

May 5, 2024

To count the ways, I dare to comprehend
such finite love defined in written line,
for quantity shall never find an end
to love that lets infinity define.

A Summer’s day, to love shall not compare,
though shines to bathe your beauty in its light,
and as it wanes, waits breathlessly to share
the passion of a sultry Summer’s night.

To laureates and bards of metaphor,
each scribbled phrase, I bid them credit due,
but all their words and phrases heretofore
can ne’er describe this love I have for you.
When words fall short and poetry departs,
love’s silence fills the cockles of our hearts.

I want my kisses back from you

December 2, 2023

I want my kisses back from youI’m takin’ all my kisses back from youAnd every breath you held on toI’m takin’ all my kisses back from youGive me the hello’s and goodbyesAnd pack up every morning and goodnightI want the sunrises and moonsI’m takin’ all my kisses backI want my kisses back from you

I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I’m takin’ all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

The Meaning of Love

October 17, 2023

The Meaning of Love
“Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.

Love has no cause;
it is the astrolabe of God’s secrets.
Lover and Loving are inseparable
and timeless.
Although I may try to describe Love
when I experience it I am speechless.

Although I may try to write about Love
I am rendered helpless;
my pen breaks and the paper slips away
at the ineffable place
where Lover, Loving and Loved are one.
Every moment is made glorious
by the light of Love. ״

I Haven’t Changed

June 16, 2023

I haven’t changed
I am still that strange young man
who was singing love songs to you
who was inventing Sundays for you
who was making you travel…
I haven’t changed
I am still that guy a little bit mad
who used to tell you about America
but he wasn’t rich enough
to take you to Corfu (Greek Island

And you haven’t changed either
still the same light perfume
still the same little smile

I wanted to protect you
to look after you, to belong to you
I wanted to come back to you.
I haven’t changed

I haven’t changed
I am still choosing the road I please
Only one road on Earth
has succeeded to make me like it,
the one we were following together…

Never Tear Us Apart

February 2, 2023

Don’t ask meWhat you know is trueDon’t have to tell youI love your precious heart

I was standingYou were thereTwo worlds collidedAnd they could never tear us apart

We could liveFor a thousand yearsBut if I hurt youI’d make wine from your tears

I told youThat we could fly‘Cause we all have wingsBut some of us don’t know why

I was standingYou were thereTwo worlds collidedAnd they could never, ever tear us apart

Nights are long

October 8, 2022

nights are long
without you,
the hollow hours
drag by so slowly
til dawn breaks

coffee my salvation,
work looms in
the hours of light

sunset and twilight
mesmerize the
tender side of me,
then night falls
empty of dreams
and touch

slowly the hours
pass by without you

speak of silences

August 28, 2022

I speak of silences
with stars
silences for two
with signs
and messages
and sculptures of complicity
a soft silence like tenderness
and exhilarating Love
We recognize true love in that the silence of the other is no longer a void to be filled
but a complicity to be respected
