Candle

I watch all the ships sink in deep sea
Standing far off on the shore...
I didn't even get my feet wet, this time.

Two is a pair
Three is a triangle.

the lonely candle burns itself down
giving all of its light
and all of its tears,
melt to wax...
as it watches the pair
cuddle on the pink sofa.

you see...
to each keyhole
there fits only one perfect key.

One


“Together Forever”
Read all the cards
On all the shelves
Of the little card shop.
where I stood, thinking…
with another wedding invitation in my hand.

And in a haze I was taken to the night
In the city, beside the grey sea…
In your car, right beside you on the left
Of all the dreams dreamt
In the magic of a few moments

And there could never be anything
More dear to me

I could, if you would let me
Take away all your pain
And search with you
All the answers
And bury far away all the fears
which haunt you
start anew
locking the past behind.

A lover’s arms
Is where the home is
For every soul

And you know I would
Till Life, Death and Eternity.

“Love is the silence between two people, which is not disturbing”
Read a card…


I remembered…

How we had met after months of separation
But we let silence grow that night,
We did not turn on the music
to drown the silence and keep us company
We just let the air move between us
And listen to each other breathe
In your car

But...
In Love
there is no second best
In Love
there are no consolation prizes
In Love
For each, there is only One, perfect mate.

I love you
But...
Do you?
